Title: What Brand Name of Chainsaw Would You Buy New Besides Stihl and Husqvarna?
Post by: davbell22602 on December 12, 2012, 11:02:59 am
I'd buy a Sachs Dolmar chainsaw brand new. I used to have a Sachs Dolmar 112 and it cut as good  n fast as a Stihl does.

Depending on the uses.

Dolmer, Poulan, Redmax, Echo, Efco, Jonsered, just to name a few I would buy.

For paid work, Dolmar.  For weight and ease of use at home, Echo.

Maruyama MCV51 will be next, (a search will bring up a spec flyer). Then another Efco.

I'd buy a Sachs Dolmar chainsaw brand new. I used to have a Sachs Dolmar 112 and it cut as good  n fast as a Stihl does.

Any brand that that didn`t cost the earth, started easily, was reliable,  didn`t weigh a ton, & spares were readily available

While the PRO chainsaws are the best, what is important is actually the statement above . . . .

I'm with Little Al.  But it would probably be an Efco or a Dolmar.  Efco is still a very good value IMO.
