Granted the Aldi saw had less displacement but just from observation I think it needed a good sharpening out of the box. It was throwing dust going into that hardwood, the BuKo was throwing nice heavy chips meaning a sharp chain.
I've had my 52cc Chinese chainsaw since 2009, it's used for about 4 months every year since then. I had to replace the coil 2 years ago and had to replace the intake boot last year and discovered a walbro carby on it too. Very surprising.
Parker in the UK does some pretty decent saws for around the same price, they have great customer service and full parts inventory availability. I've been really impressed with their 62cc model which I've now been using for about two years. Another point, chains make a big difference, often the cheap china OEM brands come with very soft cheap metal chains which hamper potential performance considerably. There is a reason why tool brands who dabble in chainsaws such as Ryobi, Dewalt and others ship with Oregon chains, which are great out the box and almost as good as Stihl
I have two Bu-Ko chain saws which get about 4 months use each year, I run one on the 16" bar the other on the 20" bar. I have run them against my friends £800 Husky and there is neglagable difference, Bu-Ko uses more fuel but again nothing major. Spares are available from the supplier in Cooksown Northern Ireland and usually get them in 2 days. I have since bought the Bu-ko Strimmer hedge cutter and saw, two years old, it's worked to death every year and never coughs. Love them.
Parker Brand sell cheap and cheerful chainsaws and have great after sales service and parts catalogue. I have the Parker 62cc, unit not had the chance to use it much, maybe it might be worth a review.
As a self employed gardener, I don't use chainsaws that much. I do need one from time to time, so bought myself a Husqvarna 455 Rancher. I find it does everything I need but wondered what your option of it was?
Keep it sharp and it'll be better than a manual saw. I'm an arborist and see people with big cc saws with wonky chains all the time. I'll do more work with a 455 than an amateur with a 90cc saw over a whole days work. 455 is nice because of dealer support, you can run that thing for half your life time.
455 Rancher is a great saw albeit a little heavy for its size. A 450 or 445 would do everything up to a landscaper level just as well. The Rancher is an awesome cross cutting saw for logging.
My brother just picked up the Scheppach 56cc one for £59 from Aldi. He was looking at it when it was £99 then I saw it was discounted so he snapped it up. Arrived yesterday, testing tomorrow.
Excellent review lads very well done !! The spare parts is what wouod get me im looking at the multi tool kit from buko but if its thwt hard to buy spares then i wouldnt invest !!
Bought my dad an Aldi saw 8 years ago so he’d stop wrecking my saws, when I say abused I mean it, bad mix, cutting roots, cutting nails, just mayhem with a saw. That saw starts every single time from cold within 6 pulls. The av system is shocking though so he usually stops cutting before he wears himself out too much which isn’t a bad thing either.
Just bought the buko chainsaw and I've had trouble with it flooding how many turns on the L and H should it be screwed out? I've tried the usual 1 to 1.5 rotations but still floods, also what should my throttle screw be turned to so I can start the saw. It's brand new but not tuned right at all
Still made by Dolmar so yes (assuming you mean gas) Sad news is.. makita/dolmar are ending the production of gas powered saws... so don't delay if you like that brand. Or come to the dark side and buy an Echo :-D
I found myself rooting for the Aldi I mean you just knew it was gonna be the dog in this race 😆For the home owner who uses it once or twice a year any of them will due , here we have Poulan ( crap ) but again if I use it👍 sparingly then yeh purchase crap 🤷
@@MachineryNation well there is something wrong with it then. I have that exact saw and I use it every weekend and it doesn't have the difficulty that one has and it's about two years old. Just listen to it when it's cutting it's not tuned.
@@diesel_man99 tuned by a very experienced 2-stroke technician 👍🏼 the trouble with these saws is you can have two identical saws bought at the same time and one will be perfect and the other rubbish. We think this one maybe drawing air through a crank seal. We may do a p&v test at some point to find out 👍🏼
Oh sorry James, why do you think it is unrealistic? We were not comparing engine size for engine size. We were showing the difference between one from @ALDI and one from @Amazon sorry for any confusion 👍🏼
@@MachineryNation sorry my wording was bad, i was trying to say that me comparing the weight of a 500i to the weight of both the saws in the video, sorry for my misunderstanding the video was class as always chaps

These very cheap shyyy. T chainshaws these not know cut 50 m3 woods trees. These only enough 1-2 m3 woods cut and drop rubish and need buy new. This very expensive!!! Becsuse every 1-2 m3 wood cut need vagy new Buco chainshaw not economy! Why not tested 8-10 m3 woods cut??? I think these chainsaws not know cut 8-10 m3 woods. I have Stihl 880 and Stihl 171 more better! I cuted 50 m3 woods with Stihl 880 and Stihl 171!
You get what you pay for. My guess is the Aldi saw wouldn’t last three years, take it back and get a new saw or money back. I wouldn’t buy either but I’m a saw snob 😁
Granted the Aldi saw had less displacement but just from observation I think it needed a good sharpening out of the box. It was throwing dust going into that hardwood, the BuKo was throwing nice heavy chips meaning a sharp chain.
Yeah, spares may be a problem. For the price, buy 2, one for spares! Aldi gives 3 years warranty, use an abuse then return at 2 years an 360 days.
Spare parts are very easy to get if you know what to look for. 45,52,58,62cc chinese saws are all pretty much the same and parts interchange.

Hi James & Josh Nice one Have a good weekend Thanks again
No antivibe on these. But i have one to hotrod. For the price they are decent. You open up the exhaust and do some measuring they are all around 58cc

I have the Parker 62cc, unit not had the chance to use it much, maybe it might be worth a review.
Chinese chainshaws Which Win?
That walk tho mate 😂🤟
You can herar the buko breathes better. Most likely less restricted exhaust and it screams better. But do they last can you get pistons, sleeves?

I think the Aldi saw needs the low jet open just a touch to give it more petrol …more power

I would love to see an battery chainsaw comparison with everything from 18v plus.
BU-KO baby! Might even get one on next day delivery from @amazon 😂
Last bit of this video is what matters….spares 😢
Great info, so what is the reasonable entry level for spares? also battery chainsaws?
We are going to feature this in a future video 😎

Great Video - Thanks
Thank you @BU-KO 🤩
James, I use that walk going into dealers too🤣 normally walk out disappointed or skint😬
I will be honest I don’t walk in like that every day 😂😂😂
@@MachineryNation 😅 nobody is that keen🤣nice vid tho....never pays to buy cheap in my opinion
Do you know they are using clips from this video on the Amazon listing for the Bu-ko?! You might want to get onto that.
Thanks mate, they have permission 👍🏼
@MachineryNation jolly good, just checking! Considering buying one as I don't do that much chainsaw work but need a but of grunt.
@@tomthetaletellerphillips they’re not bad and better than buying a used saw you know nothing about.
First all wasn't tuned very good with the off idle stumble and starving for fuel in the cut.
My Makita saw died this year it was about 12 years old but just wondered if the new ones are as well made ? thanks
Still made by Dolmar so yes (assuming you mean gas)
Sad news is.. makita/dolmar are ending the production of gas powered saws... so don't delay if you like that brand. Or come to the dark side and buy an Echo :-D
I found it much better to buy an old Husky then a new off brand saw. My 1985 Husqvarna 61 is a very good saw.
Is that a Tomos my father had one and cut acres of timber and it's still going strong.
Are you tuned carb?
A review on proyama chainsaw
Alright for a homeowner or casual user... but i like my stihl.
The good "pro" saws excluded..
The lower end stihls are imported trash too. You pay a lot of money for a made in china white saw.
Amazon have Bu ko parts
Can we port them?
Can't help but wonder if the Aldi saw was running a bit fat in the cut.
It was a bit sluggish to say the least
I found myself rooting for the Aldi I mean you just knew it was gonna be the dog in this race 😆For the home owner who uses it once or twice a year any of them will due , here we have Poulan ( crap ) but again if I use it👍 sparingly then yeh purchase crap 🤷
Aldi one needs to be turned up
It was tuned to its max, no more was available!
@@MachineryNation well there is something wrong with it then. I have that exact saw and I use it every weekend and it doesn't have the difficulty that one has and it's about two years old. Just listen to it when it's cutting it's not tuned.

@@MachineryNation well then it must be faulty so 👍👍👍
@@diesel_man99 I agree it's not tuned at all. They haven't a clue 🤣🤣🤣
Oleo chainsaws
The Aldi one is now £60 with code.
As a small saw I have the SCHEPPACH CSP2540 which is a nice well made saw for small tasks.
Perfect for the skateboard. More miles than electric.
The bukko wins hands down .
More mower tests
Screwfix do a corded chainsaw for £55 quid and a refurbed one for £44 that would be a good video. see if they melt 😆
Why do you want spare parts for a 99 chainsaw with 3 years guarantee? After 3 years, just buy another one.
Holzfforma ? 🙂
We will get one in the future 🤩🤩
@@MachineryNation 👍
@@MachineryNation tanaka ecv impressive lively smile saw
cheap battery chainsaw test
Aldi's great 3yr warranty vs the frustration of ignored emails and messages after buying faulty goods on Amazon.....?
No brainer..
completely unrealistic comparison but an ms500i is lighter than both thoes saws!
Oh sorry James, why do you think it is unrealistic? We were not comparing engine size for engine size. We were showing the difference between one from @ALDI and one from @Amazon sorry for any confusion 👍🏼

@@jameshancock18 I get you now haha. Yeah a 500i would be an unfair comparison to these. Simply due to completely rinsing them 😂
Not gonna lie that buko is cutting
o machado e a motosserra (the axe and the chainsaw)
eli silva & zé goiano
composição: moacir dos santos / zé goiano
o machado e a motosserra tiveram uma discussão
motosserra diz que é orgulho da evolução
machado pra mim já era pois vem do tempo de adão
você agora só serve pra fazer calo na mão motosserra dá um ronco relou o dente no tronco já se vê o pau no chão
a serra chamou o machado pra fazer uma porfia
machado aceitou na hora e quando chegou o dia
entraram junto no mato pra mostrar a serventia
a motosserra roncava machado velho tinia
e naquele matagal foi só cavaco de pau pó de serra que subia
e esse grande duelo deste jeito é que termina
na briga das ferramentas o machado é que domina
motosserra parou cedo ali no tronco da quina
machado seguiu cortando mata grossa e mata fina
motosserra impotente rebentou sua corrente acabou a gasolina
que isto sirva de exemplo para toda humanidade
e você que é tão jovem tem que saber a verdade
respeite bem os mais velhos não brinque com sua idade
uma pessoa idosa também tem utilidade
é um diamante valioso se não tivesse o idoso não teria mocidade

Yeah sure, which one?
