I received the 18 inch ,58cc version yesterday from Amazon. After assembly, on the third pull it fired up. Tried it out on a half dead maple tree in front yard . Performance was impressive. The bar and the two chains are better quality than came equipped with a new ECHO CS 400 I owned once . I can't attest to its durability yet but just from its performance so far I think it should hold up fine . Looking like the best $109.00 I've ever spent . If I wanted wait EBAY had similar saws for $90 . Some with much bigger engine displacement. I did the same thing assembling my saw yesterday and put chain on backwards.

[@LivingTheDreamHomestead.]

That’s so awesome! I love mine, so far it has been a beast! Fires up every single time! That’s funny you put yours on backwards too! Didn’t you watch my video? So you could avoid that? Lol! 😜👍

Personally I prefer Stihl for my "outdoor, gas-powered appliances". Just outta curiosity, did you purchase any spare chains for ur $99 chainsaw?

[@LivingTheDreamHomestead.]

No I’m getting a longer bar and chain for this one. I plan to use it for milling;) I also have a stihl, but it’s the smaller one we use for limbing.

[@thefirewooddoctor]

@@LivingTheDreamHomestead., bad idea to mill lumber with such a small chainsaw. If you want a good milking saw that is cheap, I recommend a Farmertec-Holzfforma G660. Is a clone of the outdated Stihl MS660. Is built fairly heavy, and if buy factory direct is usually around $300 shipped to your door. I have one, a few friends of mine have the G660 and we all love that saw.

Always check and turn you chain brake off before cutting wood.

[@mattdudley3789]

I have had 2 Chinese saws. First one was a 52cc w/ 20" bar. Only failure was a broken recoil in 5 years, until I lent it out to someone and they straight gassed it.. I replaced it with probably the cheapest 62cc that I could find. I think it was $92. I spent another $50 on a 20" Husquvarna bar and a good chain. The .325x .58 chain is a little hard to get locally, so the .50 Husky bar makes chain a little cheaper and easier to get... It starts within 3 pulls and is now about 2 years old. Used only occasionally it should last a long time. At ~$150 all in, it gives a better saw for the money than something like a Poulan Predator or whatever they sell these days.. Comparing this to a Pro Husky/ Stihl/ Echo it's going to be inferior, but an occasional use homeowner saw it will be just fine and give you extra power you won't find in the homeowner saw... And by homeowner saw I mean something that is in the 30-40 cc range with a 16-18" bar

[@LivingTheDreamHomestead.]

Yup, this was supposed to be for a specific purpose, “Alaskan saw mill” I have 2 husky, 2 stihl, 2 poulan and a couple craftsman. Lol I have a bunch of saws, but they were all mostly broken down in one for or fashion. But they are all operational now. This garwiner has turned out to be a pretty decent saw. The chain sucks, and had to have one custom made for it. The gap is like 78 or something weird. Thanks for the great input!!

[@mattdudley3789]

@@LivingTheDreamHomestead. It's .325 pitch, or should be and the chain width is .058 which is hard to find. You can get a Husquvarna or Oregon bar in .325x.050 and then run common Husky chain.

[@LivingTheDreamHomestead.]

Lol I appreciate you holding back ;) All my other chain saws came assembled. And the chains on them are still original. So it didn’t even occur to me that they went on one way.. 🙄 boneheaded for sure.

[@ArkansasPilgrim]

That "bumper spike" is used as a pivot when you are cutting. You stick the spikes into the side of the log, then pivot the saw on them to cut. It saves your arms and shoulders because it holds the weight of the saw while it's cutting.

[@LivingTheDreamHomestead.]

I need to utilize this next time for sure!!👍

[@jeep4ron]

I figured you would already have a Stihl or a husky for as much wood you do there. That’s one hell of a price hopefully it lasts many years. Keep us updated.. 😊 my small stihl 193 T 435$ 14” my big saw is stihl MS391with a 24” bar can handle a 30” that one was 600+ 😂 Great price for your saw.

I actually do have both types. One is broken down and will cost a lot to fix. The other is small and I use it for limbing. This was a cheaper quick fix ;) for now.

so I couldn't get any of my chainsaws to actually cut and thought I needed new chains and then my friend came over and said you have every single one of your chains on backwards. LOL I have three chainsaws. so I learned that lesson myself and also I would highly recommend not getting the electric grinder to sharpen the chain because I mess up all of my chains doing that I bought the sharpener that goes with the chainsaw because they do need to be specific to each chain and you don't have to take the chain off at all and I have been very successful at that. Looks like it worked really well

[@LivingTheDreamHomestead.]

Lol I have two of those electric sharpeners and they suck! I use a good round file with a angle guide :)

[@thefirewooddoctor]

I too once installed a saw chain backwards. Brand new saw. Was surprised the chain turned at all! Fixed it before firing up the saw.

[@modifiedchevy]

How's it holding up? Is the top handle really flimsy, did the chain brake engage itself randomly during a cut? I bought the 62cc coochear and those are my only complaints. Parts for your saw are super cheap. Any "Chinese 5800" should interchange. Oilers are like 6 bucks shipped and piston rings and cylinder is only like 15 and that's shipped. Want more torque? Doing the base gasket delete really woke up my saw!

Usually the only thing holding back the cheap saws are the crank bearings, the carburetor, and the air filter system. But not every cheap or cloned chainsaw model has those issues. Some have zero issues. I have three clone model chainsaws myself, two are brand new but have the original air filter system that they were cloned from. Farmertec-Holzfforma is expensive for a cheap saws, but better built than most.

Great video. Thank You for taking the time to unbox, assemble and test-run this chainsaw for the rest of us. We added this chainsaw to our Hurricane Preparedness list. It fires right up every time. Gave it a good workout at a friend's place, limbing & sawing down a 2 foot diameter tree. When we bought it back in March 2022 it was approx $119 on Amazon. Now in late September 22, the Amazon listing says "unavailable", likely because this time of year folks are buying chainsaws for this Storm List. Our place here in SE Louisiana is surrounded by 75-100 foot tall "toothpick pines", the ones that love to snap off about halfway up. Last year's Ida Hurricane downed trees all over, making the side roads impassable for days. I wish we'd had this chainsaw back then to make things easier to clear trees & debris.

Looks good so far but when it comes to my saws i have 5 Echos that i know will eagerly be there for me day after day year by year . Recently invested in 3 holzfforma new blue china dolls the g372xp 71cc , g660 92cc and g7500 75cc but not up to serious par an seem fragile but cheap way to get bigger displacement . Just 1 Huskvarna 372xt would have not only been cheaper but serve me more consistantly reliably and probably 10 times the lifespan . Ahhh the tuff lessons learned but i ll save for the husky . But for a 100 bucks you didnt go wrong w that saw it looks like so far . I also have a nice vintage echo 400evl from early 80s an it still runs like a top and my '97 echo 3000 top handle still starts usually 2nd pull cold an my new 7310echo is like a Rolex watch but if i could only have 1 saw it would be my mighty echo 620p w my 501p a close 2nd ** thinkin bout it if i could only have 3 saws it would be my 501 620 an 7310

I just ordered the 62cc 18" for $106. on zon. Will see how it does. I did see a review of another cheap brand that showed a soft drive sprocket. Hopefully that was just a defect and not a design flaw. For $106, if it cuts up a couple of trees, it's paid for itself. Tree guys around me are insane, $400 to $700 a cord. They think too highly of themselves.

[@codyvickers967]

your chain is on backwards

[@LivingTheDreamHomestead.]

It works better that way ;)

[@thefirewooddoctor]

In my opinion is a waste of money to install a longer bar on this saw. Unless, of course, you somehow modify it for more power. At best I would use this saw as an edging saw when milling lumber, not as the main slabbing/milling saw as the engine size is way too small to mill lumber with and have the engine last. If on a tight budget and want a good milling saw, buy a used Husqvarna 390/395xp for $5-600. I've bought a 390xp used for $500 and it was a solid saw. The next step if want a milling saw cheap is to look at buying a Farmertec-Holzfforma G660. Bought that saw with 28in bar/chain plus the G372xp with saw chain for $500 shipped to my door. Scored the deal on Black Friday. The mininun I recommend chainsaw sawmill work with is the 70cc+ class of saws. Mostly l the size of log you want to mill determines the size of chainsaw you want for milling.

I got a 6220. 62cc and so far really nice running saw. The chain is so good.

[@CEvalley]

Ive got one I bought from Southeastern salvage and emporium 6 months ago. I used it yo cut boards out of southern pine and it's an absolute beast. Still haven't sharpened the chain on it. Definitely recommend it

Curious as to how well your cheap saw is holding up. My friend Love2Boat92, KZbin channel name, bought a Chinese chainsaw for under $80 and we are both shocked that it is still alive. He's literally tried to kill it by milling lumber with it. It still did not die. No idea how that saw has survived such torture. Running a richer oil mix will help keep the bearings alive. Also letting the saw breathe in middle of the cut to relieve some heat stress helps longevity. Don't forget to let the saw run at idle for a minute before shutting it off when milling to help cool down the really hot engine parts. Next, if there is an o-ring that "seals" the air filter to the carb, replace it immediately with a thicker o-ring and add some dielectric grease to the o-ring. That will stop most of the engine killing fine dust particles you get when milling lumber with a chainsaw.

This is great advice! Thanks so much. So far the saw is holding up great. I need to get a update out on it. Thanks again!!

@@LivingTheDreamHomestead., I learned that o-ring trick when researching cheap chainsaws and their issues.

@@thefirewooddoctor I just got a cheepo and haven't started it yet so I'll dig for a bigger oring thanks man. My own videos coming soon btw clearing some massive cottonwoods in my yard to make way for a castle.

Look up Chinese chainsaw factory on here and tell us what you see halfway through the video

[@travharrell1713]

How is this saw holding up?

[@LivingTheDreamHomestead.]

Still running strong. Had to replace the chain of course. Other than that, been a great saw!

[@travharrell1713]

@@LivingTheDreamHomestead. ok. Thanks. I think I m going to give one a try.

[@LivingTheDreamHomestead.]

Right on! Enjoy! And don’t put the chain on backwards like me ;) 😂

You wouldn't believe how many people buy those saws and expect them to last I've had a couple people come in my shop with those cheap Chinese saws from the internet telling me it doesn't run right and they want it fixed I pretty much tell for them to throw it in the garbage and buy a Stihl or Husqvarna they're pretty much junk terrible quality control in the manufacturing of the engines other words they don't last I have a couple of huskies that are 30 years old and are still going with minimal maintenance spark plug and air filter cleaning good fuel and oil is the key crepe a ms250 is only $100 more and it will last you 5-10 years you can even pick them up used for anywhere from a fifty bucks to $100

[@LivingTheDreamHomestead.]

I agree! This one has been pretty good so far. I bought this for one purpose, to beat the heck out of it. I have 2 husky, a stihl, a couple poulan pos and a craftsman that’s old and can’t get parts for. I plan to use this one for an Alaskan mill setup
