For its price, it is flawless. It starts easily and is powerful. In some areas, the low build quality is evident, but in its operation, it is very good. There is no point in comparing it to much more expensive chainsaws. Good value for money purchase.
Review 1:
Purchased at the end of July. So far, it has cut about 300-400 kilograms of olives (medium and large size and whole trees) and almond trees (small and medium branches). It didn't get stuck anywhere and was fast and comfortable. However, since it is of course new, I will return with a newer review, which is why I am writing 1st... so far very Value For Money!
The chainsaw was purchased for clearing a plot of land, abandoned for 15 plus years. Large trees up to 40 centimeters trunk. Unexpectedly powerful. Very good value for money tool and I consider it suitable for professional use. Starts easily, satisfactory to exceptional consumption. Good mixing oil and does it all!
I give it a 5 because it is clearly value for money. I bought it to cut down a large pine tree. In the end, I used it for everyday cutting of 20 to 30 centimeters and I am extremely satisfied
I bought it thinking it would be a mediocre to bad chainsaw that would only withstand a little use. Maybe it's the best purchase I've ever made. Incredibly powerful, the lightest in its category by a huge margin, it cuts through anything easily. If you lubricate it properly, you won't cut too dry wood and you know how to cut (because when it has a large blade the pressures of the woods can easily twist it) then it's an amazing tool. It does lose chain lubrication oil if you store it upright but this is solved by storing it sideways. And if it breaks down again, I would buy the same one because it's simply unbeatable at this price.
For those who complain that it's hard to start, I think they're not following the steps correctly. If it doesn't start after 2 attempts, you need to wait 10 minutes for the gasoline to evaporate from the spark plug.
Difficult to start, but if you manage to get it, it is very good, at least in the beginning with a new chain. Let's see what it will produce in the future.
It is the worst purchase I have ever made. It only started once after a lot of difficulty, then it shut down and never started again. I tried to fix it but nothing worked, even changing the spark plug. The belt broke on the second pull and we tied it lower. The result is that I am about to break it out of frustration. Money wasted!
The PC3100 chainsaw is very good if you're lucky and get a good batch, otherwise it's a gift for someone you don't like to annoy them. It has several issues, especially with the carburetor. For the little cutting I did with this particular model, about 4-5 hours in total, it cuts well and is lightweight. The older series was more reliable
The only thing I can say "negative" is that after some time the chain loosens a bit and it continues to cut but it no longer has the perfect tension. Of course, it has only been tested so far on dry pine! I will come back when it is cut on green wood. (Of course, it does not affect your work and the cutting.)
For 100 euros, it's a very good value. Easy assembly. The first time it started almost immediately. The second and third time it gave me trouble because I probably left a little gasoline inside. The first time I cut olives and oranges very easily. The second time, I easily cut some lemon tree trunks in the field. The third time, it lasted for 12-13 minutes of continuous use. When the tank was almost empty, I would refill it and continue cutting so that it wouldn't run out of fuel again. That's when it became clear that it needs a better chain because I was cutting a 1.2-meter eucalyptus tree and it was going slowly. It definitely had to do with the hardness of the eucalyptus wood rather than the fact that it was green. Although I have sharpened the chain myself five times (I have the appropriate sharpening tools), I don't see much improvement, so I think it's time for a new one. The choice of a new chain shouldn't bother you because whatever you put on will be far better. The machine itself is flawless and didn't get stuck anywhere (although it was tested on small branches). Obviously, it has slightly lower quality in its plastics, but that's okay.
Very good value for money. It has cutting power. A bit heavy in one hand, I bought it for cutting thick branches and retailing on the ground. You have to leave it on its side so that the chain oil doesn't drip. However, for a total of 92 euros, it's worth it. I had the same one for 3 years as the main tool for semi-professional pruning and cutting wood for the house. The immediately better and lighter one, for example, the eco (2.3 kg), is 3.5 times more expensive.
It seems powerful but its chain is worthless. It's not even worth sharpening. I will put a good one and I will come back. In the end, I tried a 20 euro chain and it cuts fine.
I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because for the 150€ I bought it (2 tons of wood), I needed another chain... maybe it also needs a new blade because both the blade and the chain are useless (the blade got bent and the chain got worn out immediately). I will try to straighten the blade as much as possible, otherwise I will have to replace it. It has a lot of power in cutting... although at first it didn't lubricate the chain (the chain lubrication mechanism was stuck) and they replaced it, it had a warranty.
Good initial bedding and attention to the quantity of oil in the gasoline. A first acquaintance quite good so far. Almost 5 tons of dry wood. Value for money for amateur use
It worked for 10 uses, it's garbage. It's not worth even 10 euros. I bought it for my father thinking it was good, but I just gave him trouble. I'm talking about the one pictured.
More than 8 tons of wood so far in a short period of time (about 3 months). The switch (on/off) broke because a little gasoline spilled on it when I was filling it up, it dried out and broke. The chain is very bad, it needed replacement very early on and it didn't withstand much when I was cutting, so it was changed. It should be noted that I cut hard wood. Otherwise, it is a decent machine that costs a third of the well-known ones in its category, and this is important because if you spend the amount that a well-known one costs and get three, I think you will cut down half of the Amazon
I bought it yesterday to cut an olive tree, it gave me quite a hard time to start, sometimes it starts immediately, sometimes it doesn't, maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Nevertheless, it seems very well-built, powerful, and cuts very well.
Good evening
Compared to a similar Husqvarna, the following were observed.
Increased chain oil consumption even when adjusted to the minimum.
Increased gasoline consumption.
Increased weight for pruning.
The chain it comes with is disposable, as well as the Chinese spark plug, replace them.
It needs minor adjustments because it has a high idle and often stalls during acceleration.
So why would someone give it five stars??
If the above are done, I consider it to be a very good tool, don't forget that it is compared to another chainsaw that costs four times more
I used it for the first time today, 3/11/22, for cutting firewood.
Everything that is said about the screws that hold the chain tensioner is TRUE, they often loosen and need attention because the chain loosens in the middle of work. I am thinking of replacing the screws with ones of better quality or changing the mechanism if I find something that fits.
Definitely, additional washers on the screws on the cover to prevent the plastic from wearing out.
I cut about 1.5 tons of wood, and it was dry.
It cuts very well but the chain didn't last long. So I replaced the 50-inch blade with the 45-inch one from McCulloch (I didn't have a second 50-inch chain), with a chain from VISCO. I didn't need to replace or even sharpen it for all the remaining wood!!! (I didn't expect that).
I was impressed when I cut a double trunk of 50+ centimeters, the blade was almost completely submerged in the wood, and by making the classic up-down motion without much pressure, it did a great job.
I didn't face any problems even when I cut from bottom to top, cutting, I repeat, DRY WOOD (there is a difference), with a diameter ranging from a few centimeters to 30-40 centimeters.
It doesn't have any vibrations, it doesn't tire the hands at all. And with the 45-inch blade, it seems to take a big breath, so I will probably leave it permanently and keep the 50-inch for larger trunks... if needed.
At startup, due to the lack of "priming", it requires a few extra pulls until the mixture reaches the cylinder, but no problem. I didn't need to adjust the carburetor, AND it has a stable idle AND it works perfectly at full throttle!!!!!!!
Yes, it consumes a little gasoline but ALSO chain oil. When the gasoline tank was empty, I refilled it and also added chain oil because there was very little left. This doesn't bother me, as long as it withstands over time. After all, how much gasoline do you need to burn to cut 1-2 tons of wood? I consumed about 2.5-3 liters for 1.5 tons, if I remember correctly.
I use the best oil for the mixture, FD category, and I believe that this is important.
What can I say, I cut wood for my house, not professionally, so I can't compare it to professional models.
Only time will tell about its durability and any potential problems.
Finally, because I see a lot of negative reviews, I have to say that maybe due to Chinese manufacturing, there may be faulty parts, of course, this happens with all machines, I can't give an opinion, but mine seems very good from the first impression.
And of course, let's not forget about its.... price.
It starts difficultly even though I haven't experimented with jigsaws, it requires attention in terms of quality because the plastics on the cord may break. It is quite powerful but heavy for its size. It is convenient for cutting small pieces of wood - with caution - while holding it with one hand
After one hour of use, the chain breaks and needs sharpening, also it does not maintain a stable cutting trajectory, resulting in not being able to complete the task. The chain tensioning system is terrible because the screw loses turns. Overall, bad impressions.
High consumption of chain oil as well as fuel.
Very powerful machine...!
Of course, it's not meant to cut down an entire forest... but for amateur use, for the firewood in your fireplace or to easily cut down a tree, it's the best.
Like all two-stroke engines, it requires attention when mixing gasoline with oil
Purchase 02/21 for use on 15 trees (olives). This year my GOLGOTHAS started. After using two trees, it started losing oil, so I contacted the place where I bought it and they fixed it. The next day, while it was working fine, it started making a noise, stopped, and never started again. I will contact the store again. I would not buy it again.
Small but miraculous. It cuts incredibly well. It starts relatively easily. It has a small fuel tank (logical to be lighter). I would like it to be a little lighter to work more comfortably with one hand in high places. In low places, you can easily cut with one hand. I have worked with a similar chainsaw that was a little lighter and more comfortable. Of course, it was three times the price. So, for its price, it is the best.
After quite a bit of use, I can have a picture of the machine. It rolls very well and doesn't get stuck even in dry wood logs. It is very important that gasoline does not remain inside after cutting. IT'S WORTH THE MONEY!
