The 20v wasn't enough for me but the 60v is a beast. The 20v sucked up the juice really fast. But if you just need it for a few limbs At a time it should work for you. I like the idea that the 60v batteries can be used on my 20v tools.
I have been watching for an electric for atv trail riding. Have ryobi in camper and makita around the house but it looks like new batteries might negate brand loyalty.
I have the Milwaukee 18 volt and it kicks the crap out of the dewalt 20 volt. I would love to do a side by side comparison with the 60 volt. Mine cuts through 16” cherry with ease
My 20v dewalt has been awesome. 8in tree is no problem. Quiet, can speak over it, doesnt wake up the whole neighborhood. Mine came with 5amp battery. You probably wont get much out of the 2amp batteries if thats what you have, maybe 15min of use if they are strong. I got my saw with charger/battery for 215 off ebay. I'm sure there is no contest with the 60v, but you can one hand the 20v. I got tired of cranking up gas chainsaws for the light stuff around the house.
I have the 20 amp model. The only problem I have had is that it keaks chain oil ,I guess there was a little o ring on the plug that broke off . Saw works fine for 6 to 10 inch limbs just have to remember have to store it on it's side

I have a few 20V DeWalt things that I really like but back in 2017 I got a small battery operated Stihl chainsaw. Don't recall even seeing any DeWalt chainsaws back then. The Stihl is great for my occasional use and I'm surprised at how long it can go before a recharge. Put a new chain on it last year when the guy who does my sharpening declared the chain worn out.
I have the 80V Kobalt with an 18" bar. It works fine for what I need - clearing trees that fall across trails or cutting up the occasional limb that falls in the yard. I wouldn't want to rely on it for an all-day job. Sort of like an electric car. Great for trips around town, but keep it off the interstate.
I have a 20v Craftsman that I use around the farm and for camping. It offsets more work from the gassers than I would have imagined. No gas to deal with, no noise, just on and off. If cleaning up a dropped limb or smaller tree, it's what I grab. Considering your battery stock it's definitely worth a shot. You'll probably be amazed at what it wil do.
I burned up a greenworks 80v. I abused it. They have their place. I already had one of their 80v weed eaters and found a tool for only for $100. They are great for light work.
We have a lot of dewalt tools (2 20v drills, 2 20v impact drivers, 20v weedeater, 20v hedgetrimmer, 20v greasegun, 20 chainsaw, 20v grinder, 20v circular saw, 60v weedeater, 60v circular saw, 60 chainsaw, 60v recip saw, and more) with a correspondingly large supply of batteries.
Got a 20v dewalt chainsaw mainly for small jobs and so wife doesn't have to start either of our two gas powered chainsaws. Handy; but can't really recommend it. Leaks oil badly if not stored on side. Quit after about 1.75 years. Dewalt customer service was great when first contacted offering to fix, not needing receipt, and sending shipping label. Sent it in. Lady from India called. Said not covered by warranty since didn't include receipt. Will fix and return for $$$ - which was about the price of new tool. I told her to let me think about it a bit (to confirm price difference with new). Saw arrived back unfixed a few days later without any followup contact. Still sitting in shipping box in garage.
Most dealers in this area are phasing out their dewalt and stocking up on Milwaukee. I asked one about it and they said it was partially out of frustration with dewalts customer service (lack of). I now understand that.
If I were starting over planning to get a lot of tools, I'd get Milwaukee. If I already had a stock of dewalt 60v batteries, I'd get the dewalt 60v. If I had a stock of dewalt 20v batteries only, I'd get it but with idea it is very light duty only.
