You have got to check out this good quality clone saw with the Proyama 26CC Top Handle Chainsaw. As I have mentioned before, there are good manufactures and there are poor quality manufacturers. So far my initial impressions are fantastic on this particular unit. Stay tuned for more information as time goes on.

Great video Joe. I've still been eyeballing some different top handles to use around the property. This saw looks very handy and a great value.
Sure can be a good tool to have. Though I primarily used the last one I had in climbing, when I wanted one again, I sure wanted one. The right tool for the job is important. Many people really have very good luck with these saws. There are quite a few people that have replied in the comments on this particular video about their experience. It just takes getting to know what company to purchase from. I look forward to seeing how this saw does in the long run.
The bag does seem great for storage or to protect it in a truck tool box. The double chains are a nice bonus and I agree that the double bar studs are a must! Was definitely a deciding factor when I purchased my Neotec ncs2500. Seems like a great little saw on first impression👍🏻
Thank you AP! It is amazing how these can vary wildly from supplier to supplier. I am pretty impressed with the Proyama so far. I have had some VERY poor quality clone saws in past. Unless you have had your hands on one, it is hard to comprehend.
Impressed by the saw coming with full chisel chain. Good review👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Doug! Appreciate you stopping on by. I am fairly happy with this setup so far. Time will tell but I am sure it will be fine for my needs
I have a similar rear handle saw I bought about 5 or 6 years ago. I love it. It still runs great. It's a little lighter than my other saws of similar size, so I tend to grab it first. The only issue is, like yours, hitting the off switch on accident. The other issue was the gears turned with the chain tensioner screw stripped. I just ordered another one that I'm waiting to arrive.
Well, I sure appreciate the feedback and anyone else reading it does too. I like that you can pick something up, get a good service life out of it and maintain it affordably. What better saw to loan the friend with lesser experience right? Again, thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice little saw. I believe the storage bag is a bonus. Good content 🙏🏿🇺🇸🪓
Thank you James!
👍👍That is real respectable performance from a stock saw of that size.
I was thinking so my friend. These are fun to run. Have you done any mods on one of these before?
No, haven’t. Don’t really have enough use for one, but that hasn’t stopped me before!!
hahahaha...... this is pretty spicy for a 25cc saw. Would be interesting to compare it to a 2511T. I know the ECHO is really small and light but stock, I am not sure it would have much of an advantage. I have never run one so I really cannot accurately make that assumption. Thank you again@@crazyfeller5704
This saw is a little beast i have one for over a year ported the muffler and put 14 inch bar i love that saw
Is yours a Proyama? You just opened up the muffler and it helped it out a but huh? Thank you for being here and letting us know!
I have the dirt cheap chainsaw chainsaw, it always starts and cuts but I dont recommend it unless you want to fix a bunch of small issues, the proyama is a lot nicer.
I like the little top handles for clearing brush off the atv trails, you can cut with one hand and toss the brush with the other.
Yes sir! In really small limbs and brush standing up where it is helpful to hold on to the brand to toss it, they definitely work well in that scenario. Isn't it funny that regionally people have different uses for chainsaws because the trees are different? Some places really lend themselves to standing up and bucking/limbing with a long bar and some places just don't. Like I said, in my use cases, I typically don't run across a time when I prefer a top hand unless I am working aloft. Thank you for watching and taking the time to share your experience and how you use the saw.
I was impressed with the bag. I have to wrap up my saw in a blanket because of the dust from the sidexside. Seems like a decent deal for the proyama top saw.
Thank you much! I never really thought about that because I don't deal with too much dust where I am. We have so much rock but I can imagine in looser mineral type soil when it is dry, stuff would get obliterated in the SideXSide. Some dirt roads do it really bad but I am not on em much anymore. Thank you again friend
Few years back I bought a cheap chinese top handle to have a small saw to carry everywhere. Came with bar and 3 chains for 95.00. I haven't been able to kill it yet. But after a couple years I realized just how much I did use the saw a broke down and bought a T540. Still can't kill the China saw though.
They used to be very cheap! I also have noticed though that the quality seems to have improved with the price increases. I bought a supposed 58cc saw one time and it ran fantastic. The plastic however was about as brittle as can be. The kind that you bend slightly and it breaks! Thanks again and appreciate you sharing with all of us your experience.
Looks like a really nice saw hope you video climbing the tree and cutting have a great weekend
Will do sir! Thanks again Dave
@@oakiewoodsman I just wish I had more time to video. I guess I should buy a tripod and try to video my own self.
@dmalloy96 totally sir! In my video I post the equipment I use below. The specific tripods are very inexpensive on Amazon. Even my mics and cymbal are located there as well. Get out there and do it sir!
Awesome video buddy an wow that saws seems like a runner
you know, for what it is for, I am ecstatic about the performance. If this one ends up being as good as my last one, I have a real winner here because this one is much nicer. Thank you for watching!
Yeah Oakie, I couldn't justify the money for a brand name top handle saw so I bought a clone off the jungle website too. I've had it for a couple of years now and it runs well. They really seem to respond well to muffler & intake mods. 😉😉
I am going to need to check into that for this one. I have no skin in the game and the saw would be an animal with even more power. Question for you? Is this a 3/8 LP chain setup? It says 3/8 but the teeth are smaller looking. I bet you know what I don't. Thanks again buddy!
@@oakiewoodsman Yes Sir, mine came with a 3/8" LP chain - says Oulerma on it. Seems to hold a 1/2 decent edge.
Now I know! Thank you
Absolutely hit that like button on this video, I like what I saw in the Proyama. Also, it looked like you were having a good bit of fun with that bad ass
baby saw.
Cheers,
Chris over n out
I sure was sir! I find that these like 25/26 cc top handles are pretty good and so far, this one is the nicest I have had my hands on. I sure do like the double bar nuts and the extra bit of foam in the filter. Small details that count to me. Also, plastic quality is dare I say 90% of OEM stuff. I have had some that were more like 50% one small impact they shattered like sugar. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Thanks Joe. I am going to get me one of these Proyama Top handle saws. You convinced me I want one. LOL. I mean, cannot have too many saws right?
If you use the link in the description it will take your right there! Thank you much!
what a nice working saw!. im curious about your thoughts of it compared to the joncutter. btw...i changed my name from skidboot to gary...love your videos....thumbs up !!
Thanks for letting me know on the name change! It is sure getting difficult to remember everyones stories but I absolutely love it! When I get more time on this saw, I will address my thoughts on the comparison. I wish I still had the joncutter because going off of memory, these one seems to be a step or two up in fit/finish/features. I want to say that the filter was pretty poor on the joncutter and I did not like the single bar nut. Thank you again!
I have the 58 cc Proyama. I honestly love it. Starts much easier than my Husqvarna.
Thanks for the feedback! That is good for people to know. Sometimes products just need awareness because there are some very big names out there and some of them are just not very good. Can I ask how long you have had yours?
@@oakiewoodsman I’ve had mine for about 3 months now and haven’t had a single issue.
very good! Thanks for writing back
I've got a 60cc GTHAN "Amazon special" chainsaw. It's loud and uses a ton of oil and goes through a tank of gas like gas is still under a $2 a gallon. But it cuts great and works fine for someone who will use it a dozen or so times a year. $125 shipped.
Thanks for sharing your experience with the clone. I have used the lesser experience ones and with how good they operated, I think to have a nicer saw it may worth a little more to put yourself closer in quality to OEM but still very affordable. Thanks for watching
@@oakiewoodsman yeah I mean I wish I was rocking a big sthil ms 661 but as little as I use it, works great. After I had it for over 2 years, a plastic (lots of plastic) part that let the throttle pivot fell out. Told Amazon. They sent a new saw. Now I will say the steel teeth on the chain were terrible. Hundred dollar saw.... pretty sure they didn't put $45 of that into a chain. Lol
yes, that is the thing, this little saw has VERY good chain on it as it appears. I know what you are talking about thought. Getting the cheap saw with a really cruddy semi chisel chain. They even look cheap
Very impressive for $150 especially with everything that comes with it ! the comparison against the echo was a Noticeable difference in cutting speed 👍
What is even better, is I think it is less than that Tom! Thanks for watching through there buddy to that part of the video. Have a good one!
I learned that it's important to do the high idle for a bit with my Stihl.
You know, each displacement engine, carb/choke setup is a bit different. You just have to get familiar with each of the similar but different procedures. I have a blower that always works very well and starts the same every time. The only thing is, if you mess up the sequence, it is ALL OVER! I am not a fan of that for sure but it has lasted for years and even has had an aftermarket carb put on it. It is an old Craftsman and basically works like new. Thank you for watching and taking the time to share!
@@oakiewoodsman What I've learned with my Stihl (and later confirmed when reviewing the manual) is if it dies in half-choke or when given throttle, start over with full choke.
Awesome! I think that is what I have noticed myself in many situations. Thank you@@karlrovey
1st to comment. Greetings from Western North Carolina
Well thanks for watching and commenting! You live in a beautiful state and hope you have a nice weekend!
I got the Jon Cutter version, and carving bar for my brother in law. He loves it for carving. Much lighter than his Husqvarna 440 for carving. Having an actual carving bar helps too.
Excellent buddy! I sure used mine quite a bit. Does yours have the single bar stud? Mine did and it never really was an issue I just prefer the double setup on saws. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!
@@oakiewoodsman The little Jon Cutter has a single bar stud.
I wasn't sure if they had updated it to match yet.
Are they 40/1 now? All I have seen of these small saws call for 25/1.
I think if the manufacturer knows it's only going to be sold in the North American market, they spec different. We have much better actual 2t oil than many third-world countries! Have a couple "clone" saws that specify 50:1. Heck, even Husqvarna and Stihl recommend more oil in some countries for the same models that are available to us in the US.
You know, I think this comment below helps quite a bit. I will tell you this. I used to run 25:1 Stihl Ultra in all my clones. I then tried running 50:1 and it seemed just fine. I think that 25:1 is likely too much oil and IMO 50:1 is cutting it close. That is why I liked they put a realistic 40:1 on the saw because that is what I do mix and will continue to mix for ALL of my saws. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this@@aaronpowell4885 You always bring relevant good information to the the discussion. I actually did not know what you brought up here friend!
@@oakiewoodsman I'm not a fan of 50:1 in high rpm, high heat engines such as chainsaws either. Some countries still mix regular engine oil (sae30, 10w30 etc) with their fuel for 2 strokes.
@aaronpowell4885 I knew about the straight 30wt oil but didn't know about the conflicting mix ratios on the same saw being marked on the saw.
Seems like a good purchase for the price point.. but idk about it beating echo top handles. The 2511 is a great saw (ported) but it seems for use around the property a 355t would be more fit, as it actually has quite a bit of balls stock for a top handle (id say it would smoke the echo in the vid), just a bit heavier than 2511, but also cheaper and doesn't need to be ported for some grunt. Throw an egan pipe on there for another 50 bucks and they REALLY wake up and you are roughly around 450 bucks in a saw that is quite capable and dependable, in my opinion its the best bang for your buck as far as price and performance/quality. They kind of get overlooked it seems. It was my first top handle and i chose the 355 as it could do a lot more work than the 2511 until i could upgrade and add to my arsenal of saws, and i still love that saw, maybe its sentimental 😂. Id like a bag like that too, pretty nifty! Wonder if an egan pipe would be compatible w this saw..? Would like to see it run with some mods! Stay safe out there brother
Great information! One of my subscribers and I are planning on getting together and he has a muffler modded 355t I do believe. I am interested in it if it is a similar weight to this Proyama. Thanks for watching and for the well wishes.
@@oakiewoodsman check out August's video from like 3 years ago, "echo 355t chainsaw mod" he shows one in the first clip of the vid in some decent size wood. They are nice lil saws with really decent power for 35cc. But his IS converted to 1/4 pitch and had timing work
thank you!

Your orange pocket knife on video is Gerber?
Nope, USA made buck knife. Very good price on Amazon amzn.to/3V1kfjR
Thanks for watching
Just watched this video i was going to buy an echo top handle have to take down a couple trees but for 200 bucks IM going to buy this instead thx.
Click the link and see, I am pretty sure it is well below $200. Appreciate you letting me know. This saw is pretty darn rowdy and good for the money. Especially if you are going to use it here and there. Lots of testimonials on this platform for sure. Have a good one and be safe!
@@oakiewoodsman thx yes im up here in Canada so the price is a bit more. The echo is over 600 here thx again 👌
gotcha
Can you buy parts for it? Or is it a throwaway
I believe it is similar to all the other top handles. When I needed parts before, I was able to source them easily on Amazon or eBay. Now, I do not know if there are any specific parts that are truly one off on this saw. I would love feedback from people regarding this. Great question Mark.
proyama chainsaw with all spare parts you can buy directlyfrom them
For all the time you wasted cutting cookies, you could have cut a nice wheelbarrow load of firewood. Saw seems to be a great little runner
Not sure having fun and being able to compare better is a waste of time 😉Thanks for watching and commenting
CARBURETOR !!! ....The real difference is Chinese carburetors are junk and wont stay in tune. Hope it version is better.
I have the little Echo top handle, its still running flawless after 2 years of professional use.
3/8 chain is actually too big better to have a 1/4 pico chain.
I have the CS 310 so long as the chain is razor sharp I love it.
Thanks for watching. The non Oem carbs can be hit or miss. I have had just as good as Oem and I have had non functioning ones as well. Have you seen my ported cs-310?
Here is the ported one LIAR! You Said - Long Bar Power on a 30CC Chainsaw
