Makita XCU07Z With Different Bar Lengths?

I've been looking into getting a cordless chainsaw for some tree trimming work around my house. Has anyone used the Makita XCU07Z? Just wondering if it's any good.

Yeah, it works great for me! The article Overview of the Makita XCU07Z Chainsaw gives a pretty good overview of its features and performance. It has a 14-inch bar length and operates at 65.67 FPS without load. I think you'll find it quite efficient for your needs.

That's interesting. How does the battery compatibility work? Do you need to buy the battery separately?

Good question, @andysali13. The Makita XCU07Z is sold without an included battery, but you can purchase one separately. You'll need to choose a compatible battery that operates between 18 and 36 volts.

Thanks for the info! That's really helpful. I'm looking at different bar lengths as well, does anyone have experience with this chainsaw using different bar lengths?

Hey @ticketed, I've used it with a 16-inch bar and it worked great for cutting through thicker branches. The key is to make sure you maintain the chainsaw's specifications, like its chain speed and power rating.

Good point about maintaining the specifications. It's always important to check that your chainsaw can handle the longer bars without compromising its performance.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards getting one of these. How's the weight? I need something lightweight for carrying around my property.

The Makita XCU07Z weighs 11.2 lbs, which is actually quite light for a cordless chainsaw. It should be easy to carry around and maneuver for tree trimming tasks. The article Overview of the Makita XCU07Z Chainsaw goes into more detail about its physical characteristics if you're interested.

Awesome! I think I'll go ahead and get one. Thanks everyone for your input!
