62cc Gas Chainsaw 20in - Powerful 2-Cycle Petrol Chainsaw

Our review of the 62cc Gas Chainsaw finds it best suited to homeowners, ranchers and occasional pro users who need a robust, portable petrol saw for tree felling and heavy wood cutting. The single biggest reason to consider this saw is its combination of a high-power 62cc 2-stroke engine with practical safety features that keep it usable for demanding outdoor work without excessive complexity. In short, it is a capable, straightforward gas chainsaw for those who need raw cutting performance and automatic chain lubrication rather than a lightweight electric alternative.

Key Features

• 62cc 2-stroke engine: Delivers strong cutting power and up to 11800 rpm so it can handle tree felling and thick timber quickly.
• Dual throttle safety: Requires two switches pressed together to start, which helps prevent accidental engagement when carrying or servicing the saw.
• High-efficiency fuel use: The updated engine design claims lower specific fuel consumption versus older models, extending run time per tank.
• Automatic lubricating system: Keeps the chain and guide bar oiled during use, reducing wear and the need for frequent manual oiling.
• Spring-assist pull start: Simplifies cold starts with a pull-cord and choke arrangement so getting the saw running is less strenuous.
• Emergency brake baffle: Provides an extra layer of user protection by stopping the chain quickly in a kickback or emergency situation.

Who It's For

This chainsaw is ideal for landowners, small-scale loggers and ranch or farm users who need a portable petrol saw capable of felling trees and cutting firewood without relying on mains power. Its 20in bar and 62cc power are suited to medium and larger diameter work where battery saws may struggle.

It is less suited to users who prefer low-maintenance electric options or those needing a very lightweight saw for delicate pruning; buyers who want zero-emission operation for tight residential neighborhoods should consider corded or battery units instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Powerful 62cc engine that reaches high rpm for fast cutting of hardwoods.
• Built-in safety features like dual throttle switches and a brake baffle reduce accidental starts and help protect hands.
• Automatic oiling and an air filter system lower maintenance and prolong engine and chain life.
• Good fuel efficiency claims make it practical for longer jobs without constant refueling.

Cons

• As a 2-stroke petrol saw it requires mixing fuel and oil and produces exhaust emissions that some users will find undesirable.
• Some oil residue on the chain and clutch area is normal, which can require cleanup after heavy use.
