A walk-behind concrete saw would have made quick work of the cutting.  Would have been straighter too. 

watttt. concrete saw cuts faster then that. my stihl 14" diamond blade cuts through easy.

I only have troubles is when the saw angles off a degree, then all the blade is doing is friction-braking on the side of blade instead of actually cutting

I have seen many a channel drain completely blocked only in this case here the home owner woould not be able to lift the grills and clean out.

LOL, yes you are dead right. You're supposed to put tape over the grate when placing the concrete. That stops them from getting stuck and allows you to lift the grates later for clean-out. Sorry guys but that's a pretty ugly job. You can also buy a frame for a cut-off saw that allows you to use it as a walk behind... much easier on the back/ arms and you'd get a straighter line.
