I bought this saw needing a decent limbing saw for a big job i was doing. I honestly didn't expect it to last the whole job as I have always used husqvarna or other brand name saws. I have been truly amazed by this saw and its durability, workmanship, and dependability. I have since used this saw on over 100 tree jobs. It has done everything from limbing to cutting firewood to cutting down trees to milling. I am still using the original chain and bar. The chains that come with it are really aggressive. If you do start to lose power check and clean the air filter. As it gets clogged it will lower the performance but that will happen with all saws. I would highly recommend this saw to anyone. I have told logger friends and tree cutting friends about it and they have purchased some and love the saw.
These Chinese saws easily compete with name brands. I haven't used my Husqvarna 460 rancher since I bought the ebay coocher 62cc. The carb has low and high adjustment and works just as well as my 460 rancher.
Just ordered one, dad's a Stihl fan didn't have money to buy a still don't really need a saw except for firewood and something on the four wheeler we'll see how it is when it gets here
The saw looks like a cross between a Husky and a TimberWolf? Amazing what came with it, and how they managed to get all that stuff in that box! Maybe a follow up video to this one? 👍
I enjoyed your video. I have about 3 Echo saws and they have never failed me and start so easy. But at my farm a lot of very large trees got blown down in a heavy windstorm and my saws only have about 16-inch bars at most. I may be purchasing one of these just for the clean-up job I have where I need a beefier saw with a much larger bar. I was impressed with the fact you got two bars a long one and a shorter one. The face shield looks nice as well. I have one set up with muffs on a hard hat and it's great when cutting with the chain saw. It looks like a great value for the package.
it's very similar to the usual Zenoah clones. Those came with four different displacements, and the 62 cc versions were rare. They shared the same carburetor and there were only a small difference in power produced by those four different displacements.
Thanks for the video, the wife just bought me this same exact saw. I put it together and about to go try it this weekend. Looks like a decent saw, for the price..
Great review! I am new to chainsaws and I didn't know about greasing the bar. I have a Neo-Tec 24" It's a beast but its hard to start cold and is too heavy for smaller work. I need something lighter and a bit more maneuverable to go with it. I wonder about the weight. The amazon descriptions are don't seem to be right as they list this at 11.5 lbs but list the 58 cc 16/20 inch version at 14.5 lbs. 11.5 lbs would be great but that seems too low for this saw?
Seamed like the chain was a little tight and it wouldn’t spool up, But I’m probably wrong on that cause I don’t really know for sure cause I wasn’t there but that was some touch hard wood too though..
Very nice review. I just got the 24". Hmm, I didn't get a carrying case. That would have been nice. I have all the other accessories and the face protector and ear muffs are actually useful. Pros for mine: Powerful, heavy bar 1/2 the price of a "name brand" like Husqvarna, Stihl or Echo, easy setup. Cons: Wicked hard starting! Yes my fuel mixture was correct. The included chains are not that great but at least you can swap them out. I have Stihl and Husqvarna chainsaws and I have to say that this one is pretty sweet (especially for the price!) The build quality is very nice. It's a bit unbalanced (bar heavy) but when I can get it running it's a powerhouse. I guess I'm going to need to adjust the carb because I can't keep trying to start it for 10 minutes. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong.
@@NicholsCounty You were correct! I was giving it too much choke. What I did to get it to start within 3 pulls was : prime, choke, pull twice and then un-choke. Starts right up! This is why I'm not a lumberjack!
These saws are not all the same cc. If you get a 50 or 54.5cc one with the good cylinder they run good and cut fairly fast, just as fast as the 450 husky if not faster. But if you get the 45cc or 50cc one with the crappy cylinder with small ports they start and run good but cut slowly. I've had a couple of these china clones with different plastics, my joncutter 5800 rips. It seams random what size proyama gives you tho, I was ok with it being 50cc as I know the 50 runs pretty good but got the crappy 45. It was so slow I swapped the cylinder after 5 minutes of running the saw. If you see another review of this saw stating its very slow, they're not lying, they got the 45cc one.
Thanks for the input. I'll have to check but I do remember the one I ordered was 62cc, but the one in the box was either 50 or 54.5, I'll have to check tomorrow. I contacted the Amazon store that sold it to me and they said it was a labeling error on the chainsaw. Go figure.
I just ordered this saw for a big live oak I have about to loose a 30+ inch limb right on top on my fence. After running it do you believe it has enough power to handle this big of a job?
If you just hold a chainsaw going how it's made to cut never force saw if dull it will could cause other issues keep sharp make sure your saw dust is big sharp saw will shoot out big flakes a saw I sharpen will ripp out long ribbons curly strings look like ribbons oh yes do not by any means run with out bar oil in it also the plastic seems fragile don't drop it to ground alot people will toss up on back truck it will Crack as husky and stihl or built with stronger plastic ,the proyama is a home owner saw.you we will all have om guessing problems finding parts and instead of being able to buy a single part we probably have to replace as ce by buying the hole assembly example you can by just pull chord and or the spring on side plate we probably would have to buy hole side plate assembled, I went through this with Ryobi its setting in corner for scrap yard. But I made alot of money multiple thousands with $ 70 saw from pawn shop
I put it on but I can't remember what it was for. I haven't checked but more than likely that paper gasket fell apart by now. Chainsaw still works great.
Just got this saw and I had ordered a 62cc saw from Amazon. This saw you are showing is the exact one I got and it is not 60cc it is 50cc. Be careful with the descriptions as they look the same but horsepower is not rated for 60cc. Guess I am returning it.
Yeah I noticed that and reached out to the company and they said it was a labeling issue. Not sure if that's true or not, but it still works fine for me, thanks.

My cheapo 40cc polan is pretty ok considering it was $40 at pawn shop. But if you plan to cut wood a lot buy a stihl or Husqvarna. A cheap saw just won't hold up. I bet if both saws had a similar chain the 62cc would easily win.

Lol you sound like a fake Amazon reviewer that's actually the seller 😂😂 is that true? Are you a seller of this saw on Amazon?
Yeah a chain lasting 100 jobs wow i need one for my chainsaw. Maybe i cloud put it in my will 😂@@bye92
He says, hundreds of trees and still the same original chain and bar,, that sounds fake to me
Best advice ever, keep a bunch of chainsaws around cause they break especially when you need them.❤

a ilttle fine tuning on carb and better chain should bring it up to husky speed. good video,moves right along! thanks.
Great point!
Do a.tune on that thing and a muffler mod and.it will come to life!
Thanks.
Chain is a bit tight on Amazon saw. If you loosen it a touch it will free up some power.
Thanks for the tip.

I know that it recommends 40.1 ratio, but what did you put? I have 5 gallons of 50.1 already and debating if I should just roll the dice.
I've been using 50:1 in all of my small engines.
Don't need to grease the.tips.the bar oil takes care of that.in fact,the grease helps trap wood fibers and dirt in the bearing

It goes in between the bar and the motor
Yeah I've just never seen a paper gasket like that before.
The guard at 4:57 is actually bucking teeth.
Thanks for the tip.
Never rev up the saw with chain brake on it will burn your clutch up
Thanks
Best thing you could do is put a !6" bar and chain on that saw.
Thanks for the tip!
Nice saw,tune litlle carb.and its be great
It's great now.
i have not been able to find what pitch chain these saws use
It's on the bar. 3/8P 58G
Now that u did an unboxing how has the chain held up have us used it extensively
I haven't used it enough to answer that. I'll be using it a lot more over the fall. Got a lot weed trees to go through.

Does it come with 3/8 .050 gauge
3/8 .058
What's the deal with that paper thing you put over the bar mount? Makes me second guess buying the saw.
I put it on but I can't remember what it was for. I haven't checked but more than likely that paper gasket fell apart by now. Chainsaw still works great.
Where can get a chain for the 18 and 22 bar? I like the saw but gonna get a refund if its gonna be a hassel.
Kinda was a hassel for me to crank idk if it’s the gas and mix or what
Info should be on the bar.
@@NicholsCounty I have the size of chain written on the bar but I don't see anything that tells me (where) to get it!

Ok!
It kind of looks like a Husqvarna is it a knock off of that
No, Proyama is it's own brand. Amazon seller. I like their engines and carburetors. I've never had to deal with a problem carburetor from their products after sitting all winter.
Lean out the fuel on the proyama
Thanks for the tip.
How hard is it to get parts
I wouldn't know, you'd have to contact the manufacturer.
Helpful
Glad you think so!
Chains to tight, looks and sounds that way. But I have been wrong before
Just right for me ;).
Tuning the carb would make it run better and not "4 stroke"
Cool.
Husk didn't bog down definitely husky had more power
Yeah, generally the more you pay for something the better it is. This is a discount chainsaw. Just showing people a side by side comparison.
Tune the carb and exhaust mod
It was also broken in and the new one wasn't. It generally takes around 3 full tanks of gas to break it in.
