Power-to-weight ratio,
By Mikethevike (Maryland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Makita DCS6401-20 Commercial Grade 20-Inch 64cc 2-Stroke Gas-Powered Chain Saw (Lawn & Patio)
This is a very powerful saw for the weight. A comparable Stihl is about 50% heavier and when you have a lot of wood to cut the lighter weight is worth the extra money. The saw has served me well cutting up many > 30" oak, maple and ash trunks and lots of smaller trees and fallen timber. The chain oil dispenser is leaking a bit but the saw has also been used extremely hard for several seasons. I have worn out 4 or 5 chains already and I have switched to a carbide tip chain (Really worth its hefty price!)
The saw looks really beat up but still starts on the first pull and runs like a champ. Only complaint: woodchips and sawdust packs inside the safety brake housing and can interfere with smooth running so it needs to be taken apart and cleaned out regularly. This saw is a serious tool in the class of the midsize Husqvarna and Stihl.

This review is from: Makita DCS6401-20 Commercial Grade 20-Inch 64cc 2-Stroke Gas-Powered Chain Saw (Lawn & Patio)
I did alot of research before buying a saw. I looked at alot of different modles. I chose this saw without looking at it but only from the reviews that I read(if you look long enough online you will find some). I am really glad that I went with this saw. It is well made and runs great. Just make sure you buy the right saw for your needs. This may be big for some people. if it is bigger that what you are looking for try the Makita modle a little smaller that this with the 18" Blade and 50cc's. You will not regret buying this saw. My best purchase in years.

Making Lumber with Makita 6401 in Alaska on M5 Logosol Mill,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Makita DCS6401-20 Commercial Grade 20-Inch 64cc 2-Stroke Gas-Powered Chain Saw (Lawn & Patio)
Video of my stock Makita 6401 cutting lumber this winter in Alaska at -18 degrees on my Logosol M5 sawmill. Very nice saw with plenty of power for cutting. I had to double the speed of the video to fit in Amazon review specs so its 2x speed. Its been a great powerhead for my sawmill, have a Stihl ms660 but prefer to use the Makita.
