Thanks for watching! Yeah, for not a lot of weight in the rear and most the weight in the motor and gear mechanism up front it does make it out of balance. So your body has to counter that weight hanging out on the pole. I think most electric saws are like this, I have a gas powered one that is nice with the engine in the back and not much at all up front, the balance is better.
Yeah, the 40 volt has a bit more power and does not overheat the batteries with aggressive use. Also, I find the 40 volt does not stall/jam as much with the extra power. The only advantage the 24 volt has is if you have Greenworks 24v hand tools you will have more batteries to share between your tools.
