Im a massive fan of quality chainsaws, Personally I run a Husquarvana 455 rancher for most of my cutting, runs so sweet every time and starts easy as EVERY time. I found the latest still stuff to be targeted at a different and much bigger market than what they were previously known for, the non proffesional market wich has made them cheeper and evolved them into a light duty pile of cr@p.... Husky are headed down the same path with thier smaller saws now but thier motors are still top notch...... not a fan of quick release bars, dont like the way stills run and have seen new ones fail more than once.
But..... I did go out of my way to buy a el cheep o saw,
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-Baumr-AG ... 1e717b12ae had it for 2 years now, It's so compact, used it heaps, and I ca'nt kill it... for a laugh I ran it and tuned it on 15% nitro hobby fuel, it needed a heap of enrichment on both low speed needle and high speed needle to get it to run well, and when it did !!!!! sounded like an extra 50 % rpm and easly dobble the power and twice the cutting speed. I could'nt stall it out ! The plume of eye watering, utube worthy white smoke was amazing and it killed a massive patch of lawn where I was cutting !
Anyhow As far as a cheep, small, pack it away and forget about it, dilligaf saw goes that one is great, my only advice is take the chain off before you use it and have 2 quality ones made to suit at a chainsaw / mower shop then throw the original in the bin... the links on the el cheep o are likley to break when you least need one to.
I also tuned my el cheep o saw to run on 50:1 instead of the recomended 20:1........ 20:1 is way too much oil and makes small 2 bangers run hot and dirty.
But what ever saw you get, keep it in the back of your 4x4 with no bar oil or fuel in to stop it making a mess and fuming out your buss, keep a kit with fuel, 2 stroke oil bar oil and bar / plug wrench and sharpening kit.
Familiarise your self with how to tune a 2 stroke saw, and give it a propper " heat cycle " run in.... it will reward you with great engine life.
I dont like using old pre mix fuel so I always mix it fresh witch means I keep a 1 ltr container of fuel, a measured amount of 2 stroke oil ready to go in a Flashlube bottle and a bottle of bar oil.
