Hi Matt, I recently got one of those German Rotenbach 13 HP Circular saws from Ebay.

I wanted something I could fire up from time to time without the hassle of hitching and unhitching my Posch PTO saw bench.

It was delivered by tail lift truck, on a pallet, from Germany. Build quality was adequate and more or less what I expected.

So far have cut some billets, sticks and odd roundwood, it has plenty poke and it has gone well so far.

Still to give it a proper days work, hopefully once my billets have dried over the summer.

Instructions were all in German but the Engine manual is in Chinglish.

I think it will cope with 8"-9" diameter and any length of stick you want.

It cost me £650 including 19%VAT and delivery.

Hope this helps,

Callum.

Hi Matt, The Chonda motor starts first time, every time. with either method, E-Start or Pull cord, hot or cold, just like a Honda. Motor looks like a GX390 copy so spares hopefully not a problem. Early days yet though.

I bought a mower on strength of the saw deal, it has a branded Loncin motor with E- start. It's a real bugger to start again after stopping to empty the grassbox.

The saw fortunately not effected by this issue.
