Testing the 72cc Gas-Powered Farm & Garden Chainsaw proved that you do not need to spend a fortune to get serious cutting power. I put this 24-inch saw through a variety of hardwood logs to see how the two-cycle engine handled the load.
The build quality is centered around a reinforced crankcase that feels substantial and ready for rugged use. Its 24-inch guide bar provides plenty of reach for larger timber, and the overall construction holds up well under the vibration of a high-displacement engine.
The manual hand pull start is surprisingly reliable, usually firing up after just a couple of steady tugs. It handles comfortably during long sessions, though the sheer power of the engine means it is best suited for those who are already comfortable managing a full-sized saw.
This chainsaw is perfect for rural property owners and farmers who need a dependable, budget-friendly tool for clearing fallen trees and managing firewood.
With a solid 4.88 rating, this chainsaw stands out as a top-tier performer in the $299 price bracket. If you need consistent power for demanding outdoor work, this 2026 model is a workhorse that earns its place in the shed.
