Ryobi RCS5145B 51cc Petrol Chainsaw

Product Information

I did have a few issues with the pin that holds the handle together falling out, but a little persuasion with a hammer was enough to knock it into place. If you’re using a chainsaw professionally or for heavy-duty forestry clearances, a bar of around 50 cm (20”) is required . It’s not a brand that I’ve personally heard of before, let alone used, so I was curious to see how their 62CC 20” Petrol Chainsaw would compare to some of its big-name competitors. For cutting smaller trunks and logs below 64 cm (25”) , choose a chainsaw with a bar around 36 cm (14”) . However, since I was cutting large and dense trunks, this took the runtime down to about 20 minutes.

Alina Jumabhoy has spent several years learning about, and experimenting with, different organic growing techniques at various gardens and farms around the country.Not only was this a little frustrating, but it could also be considered a safety hazard, making it a disappointing oversight on Einhell’s part. After this, fill the machine with oil (it comes with a small amount of chainsaw oil), and you’re good to go! However, if you’re willing to spend just a little bit more on a reliable and trustworthy brand, then the Hyundai is more than worth it.

The Ryobi RCS514B 51cc 18in power XT petrol chainsaw is a well-engineered durable piece of machinery.This versatility is what really sets it apart from the rest – if you’re looking to purchase a petrol chainsaw for both light work around your garden and occasional heavy-duty tasks, I would highly recommend going with P1PE. It’s extremely powerful and performed well at whatever task I set it to, whether this was slicing up huge tree trunks or chopping up smaller branches. Petrol chainsaws will need to have their engine maintained more regularly, and they are also noisier. Safety features are pretty standard when it comes to petrol chainsaws, and the Husqvarna has them all. Many other chainsaws boast easy-start features, but this one actually works – the Husqy started up first time, every time, from both cold or hot.

Fortunately, Hyundai has taken this into account and has included a number of safety features focused on protecting the user from kickbacks and chain breakages – something that I always appreciate! Derek Smith has been farming all of his life, and is an professional landscape gardener with over 22 years experience. Our electric chainsaws are durable yet lightweight and user friendly with an emphasis on comfort, however these machines are powerful enough to take on even the most arduous tasks.

Oregon chainsaw parts are very high-performance and are known for lasting the years, so it’s great that this machine is fitted with them. It’s the best petrol chainsaw if you need something with a slightly smaller bar and it’s perfect for light DIY work around the home and garden.

Chainsaws with a shorter bar can be used to cut large pieces of wood, but it’ll take more than one pass to get through it. Without proof of postage we may not be able to process your refund or replacement in the rare event that your item is lost in transit. This was the most expensive of the five chainsaws that I tested, even though it was the smallest both in terms of bar size and engine power. I have to admit that I was a little disappointed with the runtime – there’s only so much that you can do in 20 minutes! The fact that ParkerBrand has included a comprehensive tool kit with this machine makes the assembly process much faster.

It’s aimed at people who need to carry out both small clearance jobs as well as heavy-duty tree felling, making it seem like the ideal machine to help me tidy up all of the damage that Storm Arwen had caused around my farm. Petrol chainsaws are heavier and bulkier, but you have the freedom to move anywhere around the garden without worrying about the cord. What this chainsaw lacks in power and size is made up for by how easy it is to handle and use this machine.
