Oregon 91 chainsaw?

[wbready]

I've seen this chainsaw but don't know the make? anybody heard of it and if so is it any good.I'll be using it just for lopping off overhanging branches and small trees obstructing telephone cables. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, is that glasgow UK your in? I have seen several saws on Ebay recently listed as a Oregon 91, as this is what it says on the bar. I think this is the low kick back chain and bar combo and not the actual make of the saw, if this is where you have seen them i would treat them with some caution.:deadhorse:

I think like most the posts on here it depends what you want to do with it and how often you will use it? if you just want it to saw small branches and logs on a very infrequent basis then it will "probably" be ok, just dont expect any parts availability or dealerships to be able to work on it. I have a friend who had a taurus of ebay and its a ok saw, but he had a local dealer service it and they had it set up completely wrong as its not what their used to.

If you plan to use the saw regularly i would possibly invest in something a bit more mainstream eg small husky or stihl,

I believe that they are chinese knock offs of some chainsaw. Beware!!!

These guys were doing that for a while(calling them Orgeon saws when it was just the bar)....Now I notice that they are "Easy Start" , last year they were selling the saw cheap and charging $100 for shipping, Ebay cracked down on them.. I haven't check their shipping for a while.

thats very cheap for a petrol saw in the UK the most basic ms170 cost the equivelent of 322.78 USD (£160) so its half the price, mind you i would never go and by either a ms170 or ms180 stihl as we have one on the farm as it :censored: !

Close, but not quite right.

What it is, is the Oregon "code" for .050 gauge 3/8" low profile stuff, not (only) low kickback stuff.

91VX...using VX probably gets me on a homeland security data mining list...oops! To me it looks like a knockoff of a Poulan Wildthing or Sears saw. Works good but not for real heavy duty cutting. Definitely an occaisonal use saw.
