Great review of the Proyama Chainsaw. I’ve often wondered about the “efficiency “ of these off brand chainsaws, and you answered some of my questions/concerns. As always, great video and “real life” review. Thanks.
Thanks for that! Great saw to run so far .... I guess time will tell how it holds up
These lower price point saws have a place. For some folks just starting out these saws are not to bad to learn on . I would love to see one of these 68 cc with full skip 325 20 inch bar and chain to see if it improves cutting power,Forester sells 325 full skip. That little climber is impressive. A bit of grease on the air filter base helps keeps fines out. K095 Husky bar mount I beleive.
I just picked up a full skip chain for the saw thinking it might be good ... so we'll have to see how it performs. Thanks for the tip on grease on the filter. I didn't know that trick!
Nice Job you are the best at this!
thanks buddy!
Video like you say, it’s nice to see it on the job just daily use obviously from somebody who uses sauce a lot. Nothing wrong with the backyard lawyer but it’s nice to get a review. Someone’s got his hands on one all the time. Thanks a lot great review.
Thank you, very helpful 😊
Very good review... I'll be purchasing and see how they go..
Good luck with it buddy!
Great review. I was looking at that in the video before & wondered “what it that”. Looks like she was eating everything you put in front of her.
Great work as usual.
Stay safe sir
Yep, so far so good ... a real ripper!
for the price of a $250 saw they got a $1000 r&d assessment... That was pretty sneaky of them...
Funny! Yeah I think you're right
Anything better then a handsaw. Lol awesome job. Bsafe Spencer.
Absolutely! cut that chip!
Hey Man, nice review! I am looking to replace an old Husky I had forever. I used the saw a dozen times a year, maybe less. What do you think about these Proyama's for those purposes? I won't be putting it through the rigors of regular work, and i wonder if its viable option for just getting the odd job done around the property from time to time. The savings are huge, its hard to ignore when you arent relying on it for daily use
I think what you describe is a great scenario for a cheaper saw. I have a video I dropped yesterday about a NeoTec clone and their saws might be an option for you as well. I'm not saying they'll be perfect and mine have used a bit of tuning to run just right, but sure beats the pricetag of a Husqvarna these days
Thanks for the review. It will be interesting to see how long it lasts.
time will tell for sure
Nice work
Thanks buddy!
Ya sold me... I've only got a few trees to cut down and not planning on starting a tree business so I think this will do the trick.
Gets the job done for sure ... may take a little TLC and tuning, but rips
Really appreciate this video! I’ve been looking for a good chainsaw with a bigger blade than just an 18”. I might pick this saw up with your referral code. Thanks!
It’s not perfect but lots to like
soap , water , clean happy saw
Please do a review of the gar winner as well as the three largest neotec saws.
I'd love to have those saws to test them out! maybe some day I'll get my hands on them. I did test out one Garwiner saw in this video a few years ago: ruclips.net/video/sWcW89oUBjM/видео.htmlsi=jk0w-C1_9bLwx1OK
What do you use for premix oil? Excellent video.
I tend to use Husky oil, sometimes Oregon or stihl. I use 50:1 in all my saws, non-ethanol gas. Some of these saws call for more oil in the mix but I haven't had any trouble running 50:1 .... some guys will advise 40:1 though and they may be right
That looks like a Husky large mount bar to me. All the husky bars use those small bar nuts, even the 3120. I've found that for the most part - Stihl uses Stihl bars, and everyone else uses Husqvarna.
i think you got it... that looks similar... the two holes on the oregon or husky bar is slighlty more biased to the back of the bar and not perfectly centered like this one... but I doubt that would make too much of a difference - it would probably work
Makes sense ... I'll pick up a husky bar for backup
@@metaspencer your rant about bar nuts had me laughing. My on-the-job saws have included a ported Echo 355T. Stihl 044, 046, and a 661C. Huskies are a 372XP and 395XP.
Not one of them features captive bar nuts. 😂
That said? THIS is a product review done right. “I got this free but there’s a long list of thinfs that suck, to go along with the things China got right.”
It does look like it takes a Husky tail. Which means it will be easy to adapt to Stihl bars with a $10 Amazon adapter. Grind the slot in your Stihl bars longer at the front, and run Stihl bar & chain. My Huskys (and the Echo 800P I sold) have all been adapted to take Stihl gear. I only need a few spare chains snd one spare bar on the truck.
@@WildAcresFarms I've never done that bar adapting ... I've gotta try it out! Thanks for the tip!
@@metaspencer the husky uses smaller studs. So a Stihl bar would have a metric ton of up/down slop. The spacer takes up that space. Oiler lines up so you CAN slap the adapter in and go… but you need a chain with one extra drive link. I prefer to take a carbide burr and cut the forward edge of the slot in the bar longer, so the tensioner can fully retract it.
As soon as you slap it on the saw & play with it? This will make total sense. $15 adapter plus a minute with a carbide burr and stihl bars run on husky and echo. 😎
Question.. when you remove a tree from a yard, do you clean all the wood ash? Or jus leave it? Reason i ask is because i spend too much time after with the leaf blower. Others don't use leaf blowers at the end. Just curious.
Most of the time I clean everything up and leave it looking great, but there is always some sawdust left behind that I don't worry about. Leaving things look great in the end is always a good way to do business! :)
@@metaspencer thanks.. I'll keep cleaning...
Hello greatly appreciate your video review, I have a question 40:1 on the mix but it premium or regular gas?. I know my stihl preferred premium gas.
I only run premium no ethanol just to give the saw a fighting chance
@metaspencer
That is good to know, made the mistake once with running my stihl on regular, never again.
If the air filter itself is capable of not allowing dust and particles to get through then maybe it isn’t sealing well at the plastic housing base. If it’s the latter then perhaps coating the sealing surfaces with grease will remedy the issue.
That saw may benefit from having the muffler guts removed.
I think you're right about that grease! And the muffler could be slowing things down, too, as you describe. Thanks buddy
I have the same top handle chainsaw that has the clear gas and oil tank and I have no problem with it runs great and starts first pull every time even in sub zero temperature
sounds excellent! ya got a good one!
@@metaspencer so far it is.. I had it over a year now I cut over 10 cord of wood so far and I done nothing to them I just ran it out of the box but I did get a better spark plug and give it a great cleaning so it's ready for the next firewood season... I got it because for years I cut branches right to the main part of the tree then I have to go back to pick up everything that I just cut. Now that I am way older this top handle chainsaw is a game changer because I can cut with one hand and hold the other end and I never have to pick up anything and I looked at every part for the chainsaw and it very cheap...
just be DANG CAREFUL! in the arborist world we see a lot of accidents from people one-handing top-handle saws ... so don't let it get ya!!! @@oldrust601
Good review. You get what you pay for.....in most instances. A1
yeah, you said it ... the "deal" often has some reasons why it's cheaper
I notice that there was some fine dust stuck to the bottom gasket of the air filter which makes me wonder if the wing nut holding the filter was tight.
Or could use some grease to capture that dust. Good eye!
The tale end of the proyama bar is different to bar tension holes on a Husqvarna bar there alot smaller
it's too bad they're not compatible
You could take a round file and open the bar tension holes up a bit on a husky bar
@@woodloveoutdoors yah that might be the way to do it ... or die grinder
You can drill the bar to match the sthil oil hole.
Good advice! thanks mate
Must admit I go for secondhand saws. Picked up a Husky 562 for £250, but then went mad and put a new £180 bar and chain on it, and did some repairs to the carb.
the second-hand saw club! sounds like ya got a goodie
do you think your able to put a 28” bar on this chainsaw? just wondering before i buy it
Yeah I think it could handle a 28" -- especially skip toothed. But I think saws have a happy bar length and this one feels like closer to 20" or 24"
The price of the air filters is what I base for buying a saw now 😊
Cheap saw has reasonable prices for air filters which I can change more often 😊
Interesting perspective! I can see your point
Yeah like how easy it starts , dose it idle , will it restart after you refuel it .
Yeah it's been pretty reliable once I tuned the carb a bit with the adjustment screws
I mean...I don't NEED one...but I kinda want one. Would be a fun saw to tune on and not worry about losing a grand if I messed something up...
That's the thing: ya pay less, so you feel like you can tune on it and not stress
$259! wow. If I needed another saw right now I 'd give one a try.
Yeah there are definitely some good deals out there ...
Good video
thanks buddy!
It sounds legit
So far so good
I’m in no hurry and the poulan 42 &50 gets its done every weekend for 6 to 8 hours a day for cheap 😊
Excellent. Sounds like ya found a good one
Please give us updates on ho a its holding up!
It's been a good saw to date -- I was out cutting with it at the woodpile yesterday and it was ripping. I still prefer my Stihl 500i as it's just more predictable and I think powerful. But this saw has worked for me well. One problem I had early on was with the chain tensioner getting loose all of a sudden but I think I've ironed that out
If they would advertise the actual cc they’d sell better and get better reviews people don’t expect a 50cc saw to be like a 68.
These saws are either 45, 50, or 54.5cc.
If you get the 54.5 they run pretty good if they send you the 45 it’s gutless and all 3 sizes look identical lol.
Great points man. Thanks for the perspective
Yeah, it look's like a husky bar!
How come nobody mention that the saw require 40:1 mix ( mine arrived with a warning sticker)
Yeah I've seen those stickers on various saws from China and always run high grade gas and good oil at 50:1 ... never had a problem.
❤️👍👍👍
The air filter...at least it's not like stihls where I had to buy 200 dollars of after market filters per each saw ..stihl needs to be charged for their REDICULOUS stock filters ..I mean I wouldn't run my sthils without oil filters .one thing I did like about husky the filters...I liked my old 488 shindiawa. Was 10 pounds and it ripped.had a junk carb that only had one jet to tune. But was sweet .
I've shifted over to oil filters on my 500 and should probably do the same with the rest: that dang filter catches A LOT more stuff. thanks for the tip man
@@metaspencer I forgot to tell you get the velocity stack from Gordy and also the max flow the velocity stack is far better and easy to maintain over the max flow but you can't run it in the rain it runs without the cover. But man is sweet .have simaler set up from west coast on 462 those are best filters made can go all week on one sometimes
@@Sethhaun78 thanks man ... I've got the max flow ... will check out the velocity stack
@@metaspencer yes I seen it your videos.
Did you ever confirm to see what bar it will use husky or stihl
Runs it's own proprietary Proyama bar but it's dang close to Husky ... just takes a bit of drilling/grinding to make it work
@@metaspencer that’s a bummer guess I’m getting the 372 holzfforma clone then thanks for the info!
@@briankinzer4175 I've heard good things about those saws!
@@metaspencer I own a 272 clone it’s got a step piston in it that’s it everything else is stock it’s lasted 2 years built so far and I dog tf out of it now I’m gonna upgrade to the better 372xp or 395xp I just wanted to see about these saws since they are $250 and the holzfformas are $300
Man that saw isn’t even in the same galaxy as that 500i lol
You might want to warm up a chainsaw before plunging into wood. It might last a little bit longer.
Yup!
Looks like a husky... I run Stihl I want a saw like this but that interchanges with Stihl
I think Farmertec saws might be what you're looking for
@@metaspencer Thanks! I just bought the MS440 Knock off. Actually I heard they actually buy the old Sthil/Husky patents after they run out so it should be fairly legit. Anyway, I also bought an engine kit to convert my dads old 029 super into a 039 with much more cc. Thanks for the tip.
@@CrossroadToCountry That engine kit sounds pretty cool
Holzffrma(Farmertec) or Neotec/Farmmac Both offer high end Stihl and Husqvarna clones at affordable prices.
all those cheap amazon saws are all copies of a saw from a japneese companie called zenoah and zenoah is owned by husky so husky K095 mount bars will go on that saw
oh dang, I've never even heard of Zenoah! interesting and thanks for the info. I've tried the Husky bar on this saw since posting and you're definitely right about the fit
Where's Proyama made at.
China, kinda like a lot of Stihl stuff but of lower quality in my opinion
Whoops don’t use voice to txt LOL saws not sauce warrior not Lawyer haha too funny but thanks again great video
Sauce warrior! I kinda like that phrase haha ... Thanks for checking it out man. I keep going back to that saw because the dang thing just rips. By no means perfect but rips well
they dont hAVE the 68 cc anymore its 62 i wonder if its the same
they have a lot of different versions for sure ... I've also run a 62cc saw of their's and it ran pretty well. There are a bunch of 62cc clones on AMazon these days that are similar, too
I’ve Got a few off brand saws! To be honest not that good. I only use them for roots & small stumps.
Yeah I've got some sucky ones too ... dirt saws!
Shocked............ I cut 15 cords of hardwoods this year with nothing but Off Brand saws. then again, I/m retired and not in a rush.
*the majority was cut with an 18" 49cc 4 stroke Senix. the Big stuff saw the Salem Master 6220H with a 22" bar and full chisel chain.
@@crxess You've been workin' hard man! gonna be a warm winter with all the wood socked away
@@metaspencerI just turned 70 and not in great health. Gathering while I can. If I go at least the wife can stay warm for a while - lol. * I also give face cords to the needier neighbors. Times are getting tougher.
@@crxess 70! You've got a few years on me but cutting firewood will keep ya young!
Proyama Made in .....?
China like with so much these days
Hi sir i am from pakistan and i repair chainsaw for 14 year and looking for job please help me
Good luck to you! I'm sure you'll find work
It's not a 68cc saw, lets measure the cylinder 😂
You might be right ... but it still rips pretty dang hard
Want a chainsaw for a pick up. A Husky Or a high Stihl will attract thieves. A Proyama not so much
Yeah and get it real dirty :)
The more Chinese products we buy, the faster the better product prices will drop - And many products made in China today are perfectly fine for the average person at 1/3 the cost of the greedy rip-off brand names. We need to but MORE Chinese, not less - that’s the ONLY way to drop regular prices which have gone insane because of greed.
interesting perspective! thanks for throwing your thoughts into the mix
Chinese saws are a short term solution.........longevity is not on the radar when they manufacture these.
I can definitely see that perspective ... I've had a few fail on me at weird times
ZMC5967 clone
you run one?
That's a clone of a Komatsu Zenoah 😅
@@MrUzminiNu thanks for the tip!
Yes, but Zomax garden machinery produces this saw.@@MrUzminiNu
