[@loodusefilm7881]

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. Great video!

[@cliffjenkins6419]

Back in the 70s I had a bad run with three. German saws I was running and out of pure frustration I went to the local farm shop and bought a $290 Poulan 3300. 20 inch bar. 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. Cheers Chris,good video again

Nice cheap saw. Good for trimming trees and brush. What kind of oil do you mix in your gas’s for the saws. Can chains saws use boat outboard oil for mixing in chain saws?

I use the Husqvarna mix oil and yes you probably can use most other mix oils but the Husqvarna stuff is best from what I have heard.

wish I had that as the first saw, my Dad asked if I wanted to cut wood and then handed me a float carbureted, gear driven Lombard. One of those saws you didn't go to the woods, you brought the wood to it because of the weight. Back in the day when the premix was SAE 30 non detergent at 16/1

Chris for a number of years I cut with a 42 cc saw my big saw was 51cc , I cut a lot of wood that way. My goal was to clean up the woods, not only down limbs but dead trees.

[@donnairn3419]

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.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, all good points.

[@crazyman3157]

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. 🤣

[@InTheWoodyard]

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.

[@crazyman3157]

@@InTheWoodyard I totally agree with you Chris. I followed the advice of many tree cutters, grew my skill and confidence before I went up in CC’s. Ready for the 70cc class now. 24” bar is the happy place for me for everyday cutting but having a saw I can have a larger bar on for those certain occasions is always nice as well. 👍🏻

Good morning Chris!!😀😀 Nothing worse than a safety chain for when your bar is buried full length in a log and the tip won't cut. I'm sure it would cut a lot better with a real chain on it. But they put them on because of the beginners that are buying them. Take care my friend!!😀😀💚💚 Logger Al

[@thefirewooddoctor]

I'm running a 5800/6200 Zenoah clone saw under the Neo-Tec brand. Neo-Tec ships out their saws with a tool kit that's complete enough to take the engine apart to replace the cylinder and piston. Love the light weight of it. It just lacks power and "fuel range" compared to an OEM saw. Otherwise mine has held up nicely so far. Did a few small cuts to rest it, then buried the 20in bar into dead oak.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Are the tools sent because they know it will break???

[@thefirewooddoctor]

@InTheWoodyard don't think so. Is just a nice thing to send. They include piston ring compresors, torx wrench, piston stopper to do engine work, etc.

[@richcooke9241]

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!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, a cheap saw is a good back up or just in case saw. I want to try out an Echo 620p! How do you like it???

[@richcooke9241]

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...

[@donaldleblanc3056]

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.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, but I have found that with the battery saws when you need them the batteries need charging so you have to wait for them to charge unless the are always on constant vampire charge sucking power..

[@donaldleblanc3056]

@@InTheWoodyard I agree with that. Which is why I said corded electric. For the average suburban home, a 100 foot extension cord should get you anywhere on the property. So that’s the way to go. Virtually no carbon footprint.( except for the fireplace of course) burning 30 year old carbon is different from burning millions of years old carbon, in my humble opinion.

[@The_Smith]

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.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Good point!

[@christopherhaak9824]

A few years ago, I bought a joncutter 5800 from farmertec for $99 for the saw body. For another $25 I got a bat and several chains. That saw is a 58 cc clone and is an excellent saw. Was my primary firewood saw for a couple of years. If you don't need the latest and greatest, then the clone saws like that from farmertec are an awesome value, including the Stihl and Husqvarna ones.

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

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.

[@jeanvaljohn3921]

Thanks for mentioning the safety portion of the equation. Heck a guy could dole out $600.00 in safety gear. I sold my farm boss ages ago but, Am wondering if your future testing will find that upkeep and maintenance will be more important on a much less expensive tool. Will the chain dull up 30% faster? will it go through bar oil one third faster ? Might you need to tear it down and clean it more frequently to insure optimal performance? Good luck going forward

[@InTheWoodyard]

yup.

[@thefirewooddoctor]

Once you tune these cheap saws, more often than not they run quite well.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, it did okay, but I am spoiled with the bigger ones.

[@thefirewooddoctor]

@@InTheWoodyard the bigger saws are nicer, especially when you dog them in.

[@realityawayfromreality3494]

Seems to cut effortmorely. Beats a 14 inch handsaw by a bunch though.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, it did okay and for just $99 darn good.

[@kurtloftfield4537]

Good morning all!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Hello!

[@jameschandler2776]

You could easily pay for that in a day. If you get a good one, it will probably last for a time. You can't hardly go to a fast food joint with a family for $99

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes, it works pretty good for just $99!!

[@chadleitschuh3012]

If you only cut half the foil off your bar oil it pours better with more control

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, lots slower, I prefer speed.

[@borderrooster5332]

Thanks Chris.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thank you for watching!

[@leonardryan8723]

You got bigger bar and chain for it Chris , Iiii iiii put your 5’ foot 🦶 bar on it after the mod are done ✅ Chris .

[@InTheWoodyard]

That sounds like a challenge!

[@waynetharp]

It will run long enough to cut a dozen pickup loads of firewood...Sell that wood and buy yourself the Stil-harna Godzilla 2000 your heart truly desires!👍👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, that it would do.

[@iffykidmn8170]

or put the $100 towards the Sti-harna and skip the cheap saw if planning on selling firewood.

[@waynetharp]

@iffykidmn8170 We are talking about those folks who don't have the funds to buy a good firewood saw. Staring at that $100 bill isn't going to turn it into a $1000, but this cheap saw will do it! Then buy a good one and sell the cheap one for whatever you can get out of it!👍

[@iffykidmn8170]

@@waynetharp I understand the thought but also think of the buy once cry once side of things. $100 towards a $600 Stihl 261 or Husky 550 and float the rest on credit until one cut and sold 5 pickup loads of wood. How many times has Chris mentioned he wished he would have upgraded his saw or splitter much sooner than he did.

[@iffykidmn8170]

And yes for the homeowner cleanup the yard the $99special might be the way to go if not considering selling wood.

[@wharfedalelocksmiths5430]

Sweet cherry pie nice one lol ❤🍒😁

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks!

[@grantsinclair4278]

Husky should send you a new 592 for all the praise you have given them. Just saying.

[@InTheWoodyard]

I have gotten a couple saws, more would be better!

[@THACOLLECTA]

this is the same as the craftsman models their identical

[@InTheWoodyard]

I believe that.

[@brockhalstead4421]

Morning everyone

[@OgleBilly]

Your comment is showing before mine so maybe I wasn’t first friend!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Hello!

[@rickthelian2215]

Can’t you buy a Stihl MS170 entry level chainsaw in the USA $199.00. This is a Dumber and Dumber moment😊😊😊

[@aaronjackson5862]

Yeah, you can give or take

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup. My good friend Loyd Christmas talked me into it.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup!

[@magestichunter1719]

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup.

[@scruffy6151]

100 bucks does not buy much these days.

[@InTheWoodyard]

nope.

[@Gavin_outdoors331]

The problem for me watching all the other videos is i have better things to do

[@BertsCustomCuts]

I have watched almost every one.

[@waynetharp]

Don't talk back to your elders, Young Man! You get yourself back in your room and don't come out until you have watched allllll 1300 videos!!

[@InTheWoodyard]

No you don't. This is the best thing you can do.

[@InTheWoodyard]

You need to do something about that almost.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for the assist on that one Wayne.

[@dealsfromvirginia1773]

Since you used your communion money I hope you don't deduct that expense of the saw on your tax return.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Ha!!

[@MarkMunson-jh9gd]

That's cheap.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup.

[@tassiehandyman3090]

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...🪓🇦🇺👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, a good saw for emergencies for a home owner.
