Thank you Brock for having me over for another great day on the Rockhill Far! It sure is fun to do these little chainsaw comparisons and help people save big money sometimes!

Just got the proyama today, pretty impressive nice cutting little saw.

The echo top handles are great saws also that come with 5 year warranties.

@Dan-oz4qb 3 ай бұрын

I'm not a big Stihl (or Husky) fan. My best and favorite saw is an Echo but it a little big to carry even up a ladder or in a basket. That cheap top handle is worth looking into.

@MartyHenderson-ie9sp 3 ай бұрын

I bought the Neotech version of the cheap saw for basically having a "disposible" saw with me in my side by side UTV. It has now become my go to saw in my yard and land. It starts on the first pull time after time and has more power than my Echo professional top handle saw. I own three Stihl saws as well.

@oakiewoodsman 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for sharing! The Neotec is nice as well. For those looking, this saw comes in at a similar price and has an extra chain and even a zipper bag to store the saw in.

If you buy the economy line of a name brand, a large percentage of your money is going towards the name. If you buy the top tier product from a name brand, you're getting the benefit of using a product that was engineered by a multi billion dollar company trying to making the best product it could. If you want cheap, buy cheap. If you want good buy good. Don't go to the cheap guy and expect something good and definitely don't go to the good guy expecting something cheap.

Well fellers…. I bought the same saw… it’s cheap, but it’s my most reliable saw… it starts easy, never dies till out of gas… yes I have expensive saws to… but my cheap one sure impressed me. I have zero complaints with it and have had it for 3 years…. I burn fire wood all winter long and that cheap saw does as much work as the expensive ones. I don’t baby it… I work it. It’s holding its own to this day.

Great video! I just picked up the Neotech version of the Proyama and it's been a great little saw. Starts on the 1st pull almost every time and runs awesome. Perfect for limbing since it won't tire you out at all.

Brock - I just had my Stihl 291 tuned up because it wouldn't hold an idle on start up JUST LIKE yours is doing.....the GOLD Stihl Tech (40 yrs worth) told me it was the carburetor system he cleaned up and replaced a few parts that he says "the alcohol in all the fuels these days" wears those parts out faster. I told him I never run ethanol fuel through my saws, he said "Exactly" even in the TruFuel or Stihl Fuel they are putting alcohols in there and while it's much better to run those vs ethanol, he's seeing the impact and strongly suggest running Stabil in everything that will help but not entirely eliminate carburetor issues eventually

I inherited a 194 after my FIL passed away. It takes a bit to get used to the 2nd choke/starting sequence, but once you do it’s as good as my other saws. Wonderful saw for limbing and general yard clean-up. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

@frankdrahos8569 3 ай бұрын

I also wanted to mention that I think the 194 comes with a 10” bar. It looks like you are asking it to pull way more chain?

@RockhillfarmYT 3 ай бұрын

That is the bar and chain that came on mine

Brock. Very good comparison. Joe that saw of yours I feel would be more than enough for most home owners and I bet there are some professional arborist out there trying those saws out. I was actually suprised by the time comparison. Great job proyama

I had a chainsaw expert come over yesterday and kind of tune and do maintenance on all of my chainsaws. He made some adjustments to that saw and it runs even better The performance is worth the price. The only question is longevity, and how do any of us know that

@EnderlePropertyService 18 күн бұрын

One comment because it’s pretty obvious. Not saying it worth the extra but to be fair…that Stihl is in dire need of some carb tuning.

@petep7227 3 ай бұрын

My solution for small stuff is MS180 with 14” bar and full chisel chain. Cuts small stuff super fast and was under $200 when I bought it a few years ago. You give up the top handle but how often do you really need that?

Stihl’s chain was dull. Cheap saw was brand new. No fair comparison. Stihl needs speed nano chain. And the right gas mixture. Knowing little about stihl saws will definitely affect the running of the saws.

@timsimon6595 3 ай бұрын

@oakiewoodsman I noticed the stihl has a 16inch bar. Brock said not a new chain. So how sharp was chain, more importantly the shape of the bar ? I'd say if they has same bar's and chain then it's apples to apples. We run that saw and echo top handle. Like them both. Stihl is over-priced a agree. They used to be worth it. We do love our 261 for a mid size saw.
