This has got to be one of the best chainsaws I have purchased in such a price range. I use several saws from, Stihl, Homelite, Poulan and McCulloch. By far this McCulloch saw for the money is great. It is powerful and does not bog down easily.

I would recommend this saw to anyone who is considering purchasing a fine chainsaw. Powerful, Easy to handle, and quite affordable considering quality of saw.

Receiving the new 50cc Chainsaw was a pleasent experience. Owning another chainsaw manufactured by McCullah assured me that this product would have the same great qualities as the one prior, and I was right. You cannot go wrong with this Chainsaw.

Works better for me than a Husquavarna... Usually starts on the very first pull and I'm at 9150' elevation... No altitude adjustment was necessary... I can cut trees 3" to 30" diameter (10' - 150' tall)with ease... The anti-vibration system works great... The on/off switch is on the handle and ocassionally gets inadvertantly switched off when using heavy duty cutting gloves.... Nice balance and lots of power... I'd recommend this to anyone who doesn't need a professional timberman's chainsaw....

I like this chain saw and ues it a lot it was a good buy

The Good:
*Starts easily
*anti-vibration handle
*plenty of power for around the yard

The Bad:
*This saw worked great for about 1 hour, then it started to have problems. It would not start, and I had to bring it in for a warranty repair. The shop had to replace a major engine part. They had some choice words for the McCulloch brand since they have been taken over by MTD. They said they now get numerous problems with these saws.

*The Bar oil also leaks out of its tank unless you vent it after every use by opening the cap and closing it again.

*Now the bar is not getting oiled properly, and yes I have the adjuster screw set properly.

Overall, I would never buy another MC saw again. Maybe I just got a defective unit, but my 1 year warranty is now up, and I am stuck with a problem ridden piece of junk. Total hours of use: maybe 2

I have had three other chain saws, a craftsman, a poulan and another unnamed. I thought by the reviews that this would be much better than the ones I have had in the past as I was looking to step up to a much better saw. Iwas very disappointed as this is no better than the previous ones I have had. I am also not happy because it keeps throwing the chain, a problem I have never had before. Not worth the extra money.
