Description
Satisfying municipal jobsite noise standards, the Makita 40V Max XGT 20-inch Kit matches 42cc gas powerhead performance without exhaust fumes. Landscaping contractors buck storm blowdowns on corporate campuses without hearing protection complaints. You insert the 8.0Ah battery pack and make continuous trunk cuts immediately.
Die-cast aluminum gear housings enclose an outer-rotor brushless stator to transfer torque straight to the chain sprocket without intermediate reduction pinions. Makita fits the powerhead with a full-wrap front handle anchored to steel frame braces. The 20-inch guide bar carries 0.325-inch narrow-kerf chain cleanly through fallen tree trunks.
Bench Load Amp Limits
Dynamometer bench testing demonstrates chain speeds up to 5,000 FPM while capping continuous current draw below 50A under heavy wood friction. The massive 8.0Ah battery pack maintains cell temperatures below 142 degrees Fahrenheit through 35 cuts in seasoned white oak. Grounds contractors preparing to buy Makita 40V Max XGT 20-inch Kit equipment discover competitive pricing on a commercial cordless bucking saw engineered for heavy utility work.
Field Usability Negative Filter
Rear-handle ergonomics allow operators to buck timber flush with ground logs while maintaining balanced two-handed control. The rubberized rear grip dampens motor vibration. Do not buy this 40V battery chainsaw for remote 8-hour industrial logging tracts. Continuous timber harvesting in backwoods tracts will rapidly exhaust battery reserves before work crews finish shifts.
