I have the 18" one, got it about 4 years ago. It's a trooper and has accompanied me along on professional tree work gigs as well as general home use. Only issue I have was with continually ripping the starter cord out but I've still had to put less effort into maintenance than the Stihls I've used. Can't complain for the price and reliability.
Bought a Dereal to use for ripping logs. Didnt wanna burn up my still. It starts easy and runs good. Have used it a couple years for making lumber and so far so good! might wanna buy a bigger one at some point. I agree with your thoughts.
I bought the same saw on Ebay last year ~ french design/engineering outsourced to China to manufacture. I have the 5820 with a 460 rancher too. Great saw. Dereal sells a 62cc as well ~ I'm now on the hunt to add one of those to the line-up. Great vid btw ~ God bless.
@@RanchinOnMission I think it will be fine. Other people have run it at that with no problems. I just run 40:01 in my craftsman chainsaw and got tired of having to mix two different mixes.
That was a concern of mine. But honestly, all of the normal wear parts… bar, chain, clutch sprocket, fuel filter, fuel line, switch are no different than any other and I can buy local. Even if there’s an engine failure, I can buy several Dereals for the cost of a Husky of Stihl. Im over eight months in and this is my go to saw and it bounces all around the Ranch and butts all my sawmill logs so it’s paid for itself.
@@RanchinOnMission According to the Novice Lumberjack here in YT, this style of Chinese clone is a clone of a Japanese Zenoah 5200/5800. So just like the Chinese Husky & Stihl clones OE parts should be interchangeable. I've been shopping around for a much bigger saw myself for the past three weeks. I priced out a Stihl MS400C and for the $1,000 price tag it's a total waste of money. Stihl cheaped out in places they shouldn't be cheaping out on a $1,000 supposed "Pro Grade" saw. I might either go for an ECHO or possibly one of the NEOTEC Stihl clones. We will have to see, I actually really want to try both. I'm already familiar with Stihl's because of my MS251 so the NEOTEC's should be familiar. But I'd really like to try an ECHO. :)

I enjoyed your video on the Dereal chainsaw. I have been in the chainsaw business for many years and thought I would clear up a common misconception about 2 cycle mix ratios. When you see a listed ratio such as 25 to 1, 40 to 1 etc. the difference is not the machine (in most cases) it's the oil being used or recommended. Stihl, Husqvarna and most of the others, have some oil company make the oil with their name on it. It works something like this: the higher the oil quality the higher the ratio, in other words, the better the oil, the less you have to use. If you have a 25 to 1 oil you can't use at a higher ratio without causing yourself some problems. Your best outcome is to buy high end 2 cycle oil and mix it yourself and use it in all your 2 cycle equipment. Most quality equipment companies (Stihl, Echo, Husqvarna & some others) only use the best 2 cycle oils available, if you use one of these, mix it yourself, you will have good results always. Hope this helps
Thanks for the nice reply, after writing you about this topic, I remembered back when Homelite had three different ratio oils (16 to 1, 32 to 1 & 40 to 1) all for the same chainsaws they produced at the time. Confused a lot of folks. Also ratios higher than 40 to 1 should be avoided, because there is a push from the EPA to do away with 2 cycle engines completely and the manufactures are raising the ratios to try to reduce emissions to satisfy them, but causing overheating problems because of this. Ratios above 40 to 1 don't have enough oil film around the piston causing excess blowby and eventually piston galling and engine failure. Even when these higher ratios don't kill the engine (it will eventually) they cause other problems such as overheating which makes some saws hard to restart (gas boiling, vapor lock etc) but also destroys electronic ignition modules and related parts along with crankshaft seals and anything rubber. One last note to consider, when adjusting your carburetor, adjust the high speed mix a little on the rich side, the additional fuel with act as a governor at wide open throttle and remember, since the fuel contains the oil, leaning out the fuel is leaning out the oil.
Just run 40:1 in all saws the 50:1 saws will last way longer and even on breaking 65cc and under is fine at 40:1 bigger cc saws should run 32:1 tell broke in then 40:1 good quality FD rating mix oil.
Lots of features of that look the same as a BU-KO even down to the toggle switch and hole that goes nowhere as well as the twin bolt bar securing bolts. Great saws no money. God bless and keep you.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a cheap saw but its went from my back up to being my go to for months. It cranks and runs so good. May Gods blessings be evident to you as well. Thank you.
These chainsaw are called Chinese clones. They are being sold under hundreds of different names. If you want to see where the chinses copied it from search for "Komatsu Zenoah G500".
I have this saw. Bought it on ebay for 115 dollars. Original listing is now gone, and on amazon it says unavailable. looks like they may no longer be making this exact saw. However they have a blue model I see on walmart. Not sure how different it is.
God bless yall, I'm thankful for your video.
Thank you. We’re glad it was a blessing.

Thank you for commenting, mine has become my go to saw.
i have had one for 2 years tuned carb and custom exhaust runs like a beast alot better saw than alot of people think

Thank you. I’d love to add another one as well.
I have one I’ve used for the last two years and I love it. I broke it in at 25 to 1 but now just use 40:1 and it seems fine.
Good to know on the mix. Thanks.
@@RanchinOnMission I think it will be fine. Other people have run it at that with no problems. I just run 40:01 in my craftsman chainsaw and got tired of having to mix two different mixes.
Nice demo, thanks.
Thank you for watching.
Thanks for your knowledge ✔️
I 100 percent agree about the mixing bottle. Maybe put a piece of cut rubberized cork in the cap.
THANKS FOR THE GREAT VIDEO, IM THINKING ABOUT ADDING ONE TO THE CUTTING GROUP
It’s been good for me so far. Hoping parts can be found when it does go down.
You cam easily put a side tensioner in it
I bought a Dereal 6220. Going to try it out tomorrow. Hopefully I have as good of luck as you
I hope that you do. I used mine yesterday. It fired right up and worked great.
Good luck finding spare parts for it.^^

@@Slane583an echo 7310 would be a good purchase for an alternative that’s got good quality. Right there at $1,000 where I live
Do you have an update on the dereal chainsaw
Still my go to saw. Still running good.
Do you have a link as to where you bought it I think I found one the same but it’s completely a different color
@@austinobrien2724 I think they are a different color now. I’ll look on my eBay account and see if my purchase is still on there.

Can you get a smaller/shorter bar for this saw?
Yes, pretty much anywhere that they sell chainsaw parts.
are you sure the hole on the side cover isnt for adjusting the bar oil flow
Yes, the hole goes no where. No purpose for it.
Just run 40:1 in all saws the 50:1 saws will last way longer and even on breaking 65cc and under is fine at 40:1 bigger cc saws should run 32:1 tell broke in then 40:1 good quality FD rating mix oil.

I cant find one online. Do you know a good vendor?
I just googled Dereal Chainsaw and several options came up.
I have this saw. Bought it on ebay for 115 dollars. Original listing is now gone, and on amazon it says unavailable. looks like they may no longer be making this exact saw. However they have a blue model I see on walmart. Not sure how different it is.
How’s the saw holding up after a couple months there?
So far so good. I’ve been butting all my logs at the mill and used it in the woods some too. Cranks cold better than my husky too.
Instead of people criticizing the Chinese clone saws, they should be criticizing the name brand saws for not being better.
Not being better and charging as much as my first car for a damn chainsaw haha
I wouldn't have a 455 rancher up my arse if I had room for the factory
I’ve never owned a a 455 Rancher, so I can’t attest to them. God bless.
Redneck Republican giving his best
THERE is NO "UH" in Husk Varna , Liked the Dereal
Some of us dumb southerners don’t know no better
Its just annoying being a Husqvarna dealer and hearing it Mispronounced @@RanchinOnMission
