A beast that just keeps going
By Thomas S.
Lake City, Florida
Review Posted 09/03/2016

I bought this saw from TSC with the 20" bar, and it is a beast. Even through live oak, it worked its way through without much trouble.
I've cut 5 trees with it (about 18" to 24" across each) in the month that I've owned it, and have no complaints at all.

I had a2 husky 455 great overachiever sws,but hustbdont handle like the jonsered, so after owning one and running 4 days a week logging ,and couple days cutting firewood,i prefer the jonsred with the turbo, thisstars right up and cuts fast, handle better than the 455 and fells better in my hand exspecialy when limbing, so I boughtanother 20 in 2255im down to just husky-jonsred and echo, you cant go wrong with any of them,dolmar-mackita -are very good but dealer support is much better foor the first 3,i have 2 cs400 echo-older stihlsI wouldn't buy a new stihl unless they are half pricenone of my saws get used a lot because ihave so many,

I've owned this saw since 2013. Still starts on 2 to 3 pulls. Cuts super fast with a lot of bite. Will cut as long as you can. Great saw for the price.

Review Posted 12/16/2014
Bought one of these for my acreage. With the compression relief, I am able to start this on cold days with minimal effort. I use a 1/32 gas/oil ratio. It cuts fast, so make sure you have proper protective gear. Also, with the aggressive bite of the teeth... be very... very careful when cutting brush/trees out of a fence.
I bought protective chaps, after the first time I used this because this sure isn't one of those cheap toys they call saws you can buy at the big box stores. The speed of the cut impressed me... and gave me a healthy respect for having good protective gear.
On softer woods, you'll feel almost like you are cutting butter. So, when you cut hardwoods like Oak and Wild Black Cherry... you will notice a slowdown cutting through. I keep a round file on hand and when I refuel and fill the bar oil, I touch up one side of the chain. Then switch and do the other the next time.
That way I maintain some reasonable sharpness to let this beast chew the logs. Make sure you use a lighter Oil in the bar chamber when it gets colder so the chain. I keep some used 5w30 around from changing the car oil for when the weather is cold.
This saw is for people who have experience with chainsaws.... IF this is your first saw, do very easy stuff first, and I emphasize, have safety gear. I've been sawing for years, and have used my brothers DOLMAR. If you have Cowboy chaps around they work as protective gear... but the chainsaw chaps have fiber material in them designed to stop the saw.
