What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this chainsaw for powerful performance, reliable starting on the first or second pull, and effective cutting through thick branches and fallen trees. Many highlight impressive balance and reduced fatigue during extended use. However, a notable group reports persistent chain retention issues, with chains popping off during operation and requiring frequent adjustments or replacements. Additionally, several customers express frustration with warranty support and return policies, describing unhelpful service redirects and restrictive timeframes. Despite these drawbacks, most consider the core cutting performance strong enough to recommend.

Good power, a little heavy on the back end but handles well. Made with quality in mind.

It's ridiculous that you buy top of the line chainsaw, and they don't include a proper bar cover for storage.

Good saw but mislabeled

Would Recommend

When registering it I discovered that it is a Rancher II and not a Rancher. And the label next to the handle is different than the data plate. The salesperson should have been aware of the errors. I would probably bought the saw anyway but I nearly brought it back to the store because I thought it was the wrong saw. I contacted the company and they called to talk to me. I understand that the manager was getting some kind of points for selling it but I wish they had been more interested in my pu...
