I wanted to get my own saw. I was tired of buying used equipment so I decided to watch how much I spent so I bought this clone of a Husqvarna 450 rancher. It is also basically the same as a blue max chainsaw and the old Husqvarna 55. Paid $77.66 shipped to my door. I put it together.
Mixed the gas. Put gas and oil in it. She started right up. It took a while the first time because it had to pull all the gas thru lines and into the carb.
Once warm it started on the first pull. Cold it took about 7 pulls. I tried it out on a big maple tree. Sorry I didn't have anything that was fresh to cut.
This tree was one job that I didn't finish cleaning up years ago so I wanted to finish this before I cut down another tree and making another big mess. Lol.
I can not speak of the longevity of the saw because I haven't had it for that long. I'm not a professional but do know a thing or two about chainsaws and chainsaw maintenance. It takes 25 to 1 fuel/oil mixture. I am pleased with the saw as of now. That may change if something goes wrong with it. I will have more videos of this saw to come.
