  • Yes a $99 chainsaw cuts but for long term or big use PROBABLY A BIG NO!!! You might want to get a better saw that will last longer cut faster and not make you go deaf and your hands go numb.

    Glad to see this aspect of the firewood business. I bought a 62cc, 18" saw for cheap off Amazon two years back and it runs just great for seasonal wood prep. An 18" bar on a 62cc saw is awesome.

    It will last long time if you take care of it and use it reasonably. Also it's good saw for beginners because then they get picture what is good and what isn't. At YT is see mostly guys who cut only some cords of firewood and they desperately need biggest saw that can be bought. In reality those mostly don't need bigger saw than consumer grade 50cc chainsaw.

Everyone laughed at my choice but it did the job and did it well. Cutting out very long windbreak rows of causarina. Good burning hadwood. Thirty yrs and four bars later I gave it to my son in law and he's still using it every year doing five cord.I've got three or four orange saws ,now big to little but that Poulan helped set up my firewood buisness.

    My experience with cheap saws are they always need tuning after the first tank of gas.
    They often weigh a bit more than a similar name brand saw.
    They can be less forgiving with starting.
    You will need to sharpen the chain regularly.
    However for 20 or less hours per year of use providing you can follow the instructions they are adequate.

    Just my 2 cents and what I did when I first got a saw; got a 16” Polan cheap, then I spent the extra funds to get my safety gear and not go cheap on that end. Learned the basics and built my skills with that saw. Next saw was a Stihl Wood Boss and then picked up,a used 357xp from a tree cutter. Never looked back. The next saw I got was a 460 Rancher with a 24” bar, same cc as the 357xp but I did not want to change my 357xp to a longer bar. Definitely a fan of the 24” bar and now thinking of a 562xp. I do not want to loose my 357xp and like many, you can’t ever seem to have to many saws. 🤣

      From what you have said there I HIGHLY recommend a 70cc saw. A 462 Stihl or a 572Husqvarna or a 7310 Echo. When you get one you will be mad at yourself for not getting one sooner....wayyyyyyyyy faster cutting.

    Biggest concern for the casual user with a saw like this in my mind is the fuel going stale sitting. I'd highly recommend to anyone to not bother mixing your own gas, and buy the premix. When I got my battery chainsaw I was going through so little fuel with my string trimmer it was running rough, not wanting to start etc. switched to premixed, and it has been back to normal.

    Pretty sure I said this before but here goes. For the suburban casual user, think about a corded electric. No gas to store, and it’s quite a bit better for the environment. Also they are quite inexpensive, but maybe a little bit slower than the gas model you just showed. My first saw was a Canadian Tire Mastercraft, 40 years ago. It still works fine. Just wouldn’t reach into the forest at the cottage.

    I wanted a bigger saw for our place in Maine. I bought a 62cc Supmix for $105 . It came with a 20" bar and has an alleged 4.2hp. It is way more powerful than a 42cc Jonsered that we keep there. The manual says that it wants 25:1 mix ratio. It will be great this spring for keeping the black flies at bay! I have only run 5 tanks through it, so far I'm impressed. That said it is not the equal of the Echo CS620P that cuts most of our firewood for home (8-9 cords) heating. However, for about 1/6th the price, not a bad saw!

      The professional Echo saws cannot be beat for value. A few months ago, I was cutting alongside a Stihl 362. While we weren't racing, the CS620P was just as fast as the Stihl. $600 vs $900; the $300 that I saved buys a lot of liquid pain relief at the end of a weekend of putting up firewood!!!
      My 620p is easy to start, always. With the 24" bar, it makes bucking easier on my back, and it'll make short work of some good-sized logs. It will not keep up with one of your Husqvarna 572s, but I cut wood to heat our home and get some exercise. Maybe I'll cowboy up for an Echo CS7310P in a couple of years. Meanwhile, I ordered a top handle CS 355T. Next year, I'll get their CS501P to replace my Husqvarna 450e (Rancher?). The 450e is a decent power saw, but sucks to start when it's hot! Often, I run it nonstop for a tank of gas, set the brake & let it dance around the wood yard while rearranging logs...

    I get the logic of the easy-to-use startup saw but, ill argue my 0.01c opinion.
    In the world of gray market saws.
    Id rather have a copy of any saw in the 365/395 size range.
    The aftermarket support of parts for all of the saws in that size range is staggering.
    I personally got one that was the equivalent to a 365 out of the box. and swapped parts to make it as close to the limited edition 372xpw model with the 76cc's.
    Over 4 years now ive absolutely beat it. And its still going. I put no effort in to keeping it out of rain or white stuff. Other then normal things breaking starter rop, kill swich, muffler gasket and 2 spark plugs, its still going.
    The only downside is i carry a special 32/1 mix for it, versus the 45/1 for the oem's. And that is a bit annoying at times.
    .
    The exception is the 385/390 not as much available for that one in the aftermarket. And husqvarna is seriously looking at doing away with the oem version, now that theres a 585 model.

    chris on that 540xp rear handle does ot run the same 16in low pro bar and chain as the the top handle version … i am am east coat climber … i can do ALMOST EVERYTHING in the tree with an 18in bar … before i habe to move to the 550 20in or the 562 up to 28 in … when they say low pro “.325 mini” im curious if i could throw on an 18in force bar and x cut chain … or whether i would have to change the sprocket to run an 18 in “big boy” chain (non safety/kick back) … my question is the .325 low pro sprocket different than the typical .325 … sometimes they call it mini … for example, still has their 3/8 mini pitch which is .370 and then their regular 3/8 pitch which is 375 … I’m curious if there’s a difference in the Husqvarna brackets as well

      bad shoulders after years of climbing i know that new 540 top handle will pull an 18 in … just curious how easy it will be to convert to a big boy chain .. most it would take is changing the sprocket if need be … but will that work … if I had one in my hand, I could tell you myself … but i don’t so i was hoping you would know … I know an 18 inch bar sounds crazy on a top handle when you’ve been climbing as long as I have it makes sense I’ve seen guys run 20 and 24 inch bars on their 201’s and they rip … with a bit of port work … the mark 3 is 39cc no port work need to pull 18 … what I’m curious about is the conversion … can I throw an 18 inch on there with a big boy non-safety chain or am I gonna have to change my sprocket because they do the same thing still does and use a 325 mini which is not the same thing as a 325 they may be calling it mini I know with still it’s smaller like I stated with the 3/8 version

      pardon the grammar … stihl * … talk to text does not translate well … i may just have to go to the dealer and ask if its the typical 325 or 3/8 (i have seen both versions available) if mini means shorter pitch like it does with stihl or if it is just referring to the low profile chain … again … i know with stihl there is a difference … which would simply only require changing to a regular 325 or 3/8 rim drive sprocket

    About 3 years ago, I was in my local Big Box hardware store, and there was a 30-something cc HomeLite with a 12 inch bar, on the shelf, $99 (Australian). Couldn't resist. It ran OK, but wore out some plastic doo-hicky that took it out of service for a bit. It didn't take well to being run over with my 2 ton Kubota excavator (black saws tend to be hard to see on the ground..😂), but it shared a fair number of parts - bar, chain, spark plug etc - with my cheap Husky 120. So, i kept the bits that weren't busted. A Husky 120 with a 12 inch bar, BTW, cuts limb wood up to about 9 inches like it's not funny...🪓🇦🇺👍
