Great Saw - Love the 18" & 22" Bars. I purchased this to take down a dying ash tree. It ran flawlessly and had all the power I needed. Would Highly recommend. I thought I only needed the 18" bar, but when it came to the trunk of the tree, 18" was too small. I quickly switched it to the 22" (took less than 10 min). Cut through that tree trunk like butter!MY ONE COMPLAINT - the instructions said to initially start the saw prime the bulb 3-4 times. I initially could'nt get it to start and went online to watch some videos. They said to prime 10 times, so in total I primed the closer to 15 times. Started right up. Other then that, the saw is a great value

Hands down, this saw doesn’t disappoint! The saw fired up straight out of the box. This is a powerful saw and I often prefer using it over my other name brand saws. You WILL need ears and eye safety protection because it’s a bit noisy. The chains that come with it are super sharp. It really functions as nicely as my other saws. It’s a bit on the heavy side but once you get used to it, you will prefer it over other saws depending on the size of the cut.

Well, the saw finally arrived yesterday and I can honestly say that the wait was well worth it. I mounted the 24” bar, set chain tension, filled gas and oil and the saw started with just a few pulls. I let it warm up for a minute or so and then tested it on some hardwood firewood, it pulled really nice with lots of power and no sense of stalling. I then mounted it in the Alaskan mill and ripped a 12” hardwood log into slabs to make cutting boards, the saw worked really well. I really like that the chain stops almost instantly once the throttle is released, feels much safer than saws where the chain still rotates when the saw is at low RPM. The brake is also excellent, setting instantly as expected.The instructions were very well written and easy to follow. I had to laugh about the numerous comments of “do not touch” in the starting instructions as my instinct was to set throttle as well. Anyhow, I obeyed the instructions and the saw started with ease. When warm the saw would start on the first pull which is something that my Husqvarna’s and Stih's don’t normally do…My only thought is that the chain for the 24” bar should be a ripping chain. From watching Youtube I have a sense that many people buy this saw for use in an Alaskan mill and so including a chain specifically for that purpose would be a nice sellable feature. I will use a Dremel bit to shape the teeth of this chain for ripping but it would be a great if the supplied chain were a ripping chain.I am very happy with this saw and will definitely recommend it to my friends….

Was debating buying a similar sized and power Stihl saw... but I could not justify the price they are asking. For a hobby wood processor and/or around the acreage type use, this saw rocks. I am using the larger bar and chain and it has no problem eating through very large rounds (20 to 30" rounds). Chain was sharp and quality. Assembling out of the box was easy, and it comes with a lot of cheap extras (ear pro, eye guard, fuel/oil mixer bottle, etc). I'm excited to put this saw through the works and see how long it will last. Best bang for your buck IMO. Although it is an overseas-made saw, this is worth the money on initial impressions.

We had to buy this to try it out just to see if the reviews really were as good as they are.I don’t recommend this for a logger/arborist for their day to day operations.This is for your weekend warrior on the trails, the occasional day to buck wood and climb a tree. Or use for ATV trips!Understand - I put this through its paces the last few days. I’m not overly gentle on my stuff.This little saw impressed me.The pictures speak for themselvesthis little saw can rip and tear like the best of themUnderstand however, the plastic is fairly cheap. It will crack, and the plastic around the exhaust will melt off eventually. It’s purely aesthetic anyways.This cut through a bush cord of Elm and Ash then bucked up for firewood.The saw is extremely simple to use, and the adjustments work great. Sips fuel.Yes, it is made of a lesser quality plastic from big names like Sthil and Husqvarna - but if you’re looking for a cheap top handle saw that cuts with a good 25 cc engine this is definitely something you should have. I should also add the saw is going to become my primary saw in my ATV, and as well whenever I go, Overlanding this saw will be in the back of my truck.Not a bad purchase for $200.For all you arborists out there - I’m one of you - just had some fun with this and it’s a great little saw! Buy a big name top handle ;-)

This saw is light weight and very powerful. The chains it comes with would dull very fast. Swapped it with a husky chain and this thing eats! The issues I’ve had. Do not leave it outside in the weather. If it gets wet it will not run you’ll have to let it dry out a few days. No idea on what that was about. And the bar oil pump quit working. Ordered a new one for $7 shipped you can’t beat that. Turns out the pump wasn’t bad at all just had a small fixable issue internally. Out of all my flagship saws this one is my go to saw. Yes it’s built cheaper but it holds up well. Parts you can find all the parts easy online. Just look up Chinese chain saw parts. Just about all these cheaper saws are built the same. Liked it so much I bought the weedeater trimmer set as well.

It slices, it dices and it'll fold your laundry! Jokes aside this thing puts in work, runs really well and starts every time on the 2nd pull. I ran it at 50:1 with non ethanol gasoline. The only tiny issue I had with it was the spark plug wire wasn't seated properly causing it to spit and sputter under load and high rpm. Once I figured that out it was smooth sailing. I've ran echo, stihl and husqvarna saws and this thing is damn close to these, too close! We were really happy with it! Chain tensioner was easy to use, adjustment of the oiler was easy, and it's nice it came with 2 bars and 2 chains. I stuck with the 22" bar as I was mostly cutting larger stuff. I'm sure 16" would really zip through things a bit faster though. I just really like the design and ease of use. It's a little loud, but aren't they all!

This saw runs and cuts great, especially for the price point. This was primarily purchased for my wife to use to cut branches. It works great on anything under 10” and I’ve used it on a trunk 18” and had no issues. It’s lightweight and comes with a powerful motor. I have a brush cutter and 18-22” saw and I’m continually impressed with Proyama’ items. Great prices, great products and quality, easy to start engines, and their customer service is top tier. I do highly recommend any Proyama product to anybody.

I bought a Proyama PCS68 chainsaw in May. After receiving it, everything was as described. I started it without any problems. After a few hours of work, the clutch stopped working, it turned out that the spring broke. I had problems contacting Proyama, but after receiving the correct email for Proyama, which is; customerservice@proyamatools.com. Then everything went very smoothly and I am waiting for the new clutch. So far, the saw is working well, I hope it stays that way. I think it is a good product.

I'm a homeowner that burns 5-8 cords of wood per winter. When I was young I worked in logging and used only STIHL 36" chainsaws. I'm 59 years old now and dont have the strength or stamina I did when I was younger!This saw is HEAVY compared to smaller ones. Most importantly? IT CAN POWER THROUGH BIG PIECES OF WOOD QUICKLY! I have tree removal companies dump off wood in 6' lengths, which they do for free. I then slice it into 18" pieces and use a 30 ton log splitter to break them up and then a smaller 5 ton splitter to make fire wood.In the picture you see the logs from both tree company 'dumps' in my driveway. I used the 24" bar and the 24" chain that came with the saw. It made quick work of these 36" diameter logs.Others had problems:1. Reported not to start after first time or wouldn't start after sitting for a while. I didn't experience this. I'm also smart so after I was done cutting up one load I'd pour the gas out of the saw and put it back in my gas can, then I'd start the saw and just let it die from not having any gas. When the next load came it started right up - no problems (see starting procedures below).2. It EATS bar oil! Well the setting for the amount of bar oil is explained in the (rather lame) directions. USE THAT SMALL SCREW TO ADJUST! I've ALWAYS used old oil that came from my car's oil changes for bar oil - it works great! After adjusting that screw - it ate oil about the same as I remember my Stihl's back in the day.3. Darnit folks - CLEAN the air filter after each day of cutting!4. The 'gas container'. Yeah - it's worthless for gas. Get a 1 gallon red gas can at your local store and use it. The new ones have a cut-off and the nozzle fits the hole of the gas on the saw. I use the gas container they sent for chain oil. (yeah - I use oil from my car's oil changes so I need a container for that)5. YES - holes for gas and chain oil are small. Buy a few small funnels and have some paper towels or rags around to wipe up because you WILL spill!Problems I had:1. The jagged piece of metal that you put on to help you 'dig' into the wood and get leverage - the screws kept coming lose. I replaced the factory screws (which were hex - I freaking HATE hex) with two stainless screws from the hardware store using lock-washers to keep them tight. I'd recommend putting lock washers on your factory hex screws and DONT misplace the hex driver that came with the saw.2. The tool to tighten the saw. It broke straight away. I'm using a ratchet and deep well socket now - it works great. The screwdriver they give to you is also useless - use a real one!3. Chainsaw chains. Folks - regardless of what powerful motor you use, if the chain is dull it wont cut! I had largely forgotten about sharpening, bar lubrication, and chains all together since I was young.4. Chainsaw chains get HOT when cutting through very thick wood especially when the chain isn't very sharp.STARTING COLD:*With gas in it already: Push the fuel bulb once, pull the choke out, put your foot on the bottom of the handle and pull the cord. It should 'sputter' after 2 or 3 pulls - when it does, push the choke back in and pull the cord - it'll start after 3-4 pulls.*With NO gas in it: Push the fuel bulb 2-3 times - follow above directions.It's a darn good saw with plenty of power and a GREAT price-point that I'm HAPPY to own and I'm sure it will last! As I said above, I'm 59 years old - but I'm still VERY strong. I can use this saw for a few hours before I get worn out.p.s. The 'safety gear'?? Yeah - useless! Ear muffs aren't bad - I dont use them as my hearing is shot already.There's an old saying, "You get what you pay for". Well folks, this isn't a STIHL or HUSQ but DARN it's got power and if you keep your chain sharp it'll cut though some massive wood.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!UPDATE: I've got through the two loads of wood in the pictures above - the latest load was red oak. The base of the tree was about 30 inches. In all I'm guessing I've ran this saw for about 50 hours so I have a bit more to say.Oak is considerably denser than pine. This saw, with a new chain, powered through the 30 inch diameter with no problems (one cut from each side - about 90 seconds total).THE CARDBOARDWhat in God's green earth is the cardboard for? What purpose does it serve? It says in the manual, "do not let the cardboard get oily. Well darnit - it's right where the chain gets oil. By the third chain replacement, the cardboard was soaked with oil and disintegrating.THE BARAt the front is a sprocket. I forgot about lubricating that. My saw just couldn't cut straight. The sprocket was overheating. There's a very small hole near the center of the sprocket on either side. Either use a grease gun or just push grease down that hole with your finger, spin the sprocket and more grease. I also turn the bar upside down every time I sharpen the chain - that way the sprocket spins in the opposite direction and wears more even.CHAINSI cut my wood on my concrete driveway so that once a piece is cut off, I use a furniture dolly to move it. (work smarter not harder). DO NOT dig your chain into dirt EVER or let it hit stones or metal. If you do, it will dull your chain. I had to relearn about chain sharpening. Trust me on this - buy a set of chainsaw files and use them - DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON ANYTHING ELSE (I did). What kind of chain you should use is up to what you're cutting. My 'end product' is cord-wood that I burn so I dont care if there's teeth marks in the wood I cut. After sharpening and using the chain that came with this saw, it was taking me about 3-4 minutes to make two cuts in the 30" oak. I bought a full chisel skip tooth chain.See, the chain that comes with the saw is a 'safety' chain and helps the saw from 'bucking' back. While it's probably a good thing for the 'new' chainsaw user, it doesn't cut as fast. The full chisel skip tooth chain allowed me to cut that same slice in about 90 seconds. I'm very strong so I'm able to handle it occasionally 'bucking' on me.Summary: VERY NICE SAW THAT IS AFFORDABLE!1. If you are comfortable with chainsaws - get a full chisel skip tooth chain for this saw - you'll thank me!2. Keep it clean.3. Keep your bar's sprocket lubricated! (if your cuts dont go straight no matter what - your sprocket needs lubricated - do so then turn the bar upside down)4. Buy this kit and USE IT!www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082PJ4CP5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1But - whenever your sharpen your chain, run the flat file over the top of each 'raker' (or 'follower')on the chain - just ONE pull!5. Starting - if you cant start yours, let it sit for an hour and try my directions above (cold start).
