Title: Redmax gone Chinese?
Post by: brettl on December 29, 2014, 01:29:13 pm
Another forum member said the Redmax top handle now has a made in China sticker. I'd been watching that one and the 4500. Do any of you know if the other Redmax saws are being made in China? I don't have a Redmax dealer here anymore to look at them firsthand.

I don't know if jughead was talking about the 31cc or 35cc. He just said he picked up a Redmax top handle at the dealer and saw made in China on it. The 35cc is the only one I see listed on ebay.

Thanks Kevin, good information. That 3500 is selling for 240. I haven't priced the Husky yet but I'm sure it's higher. I'll post back when I find out which one Jughead was looking at. Can't imagine a dealer having a Chinese clone.

Just posted here.

If they get a version of the Redmax designed T435 that Husky has, it's made in china.

Husqvarna owns a factory there - the earlier McCulloch Europe factory.

The RedMax GZ3500 does say Made In China on the serial number tag. I imagine the Husqvarna version comes out of the same plant.

But all the RedMax label saws are being phased out in the US anyway.

The G3100 Top Handle is made by Oleo Mac in Italy and was phased out of the line a few years ago.

The real brand name is Zenoah, and I don't believe that brand is being phased out anywhere.
