I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO BUY A SAW FOR GENERAL FARM USE,AND WONDER IF ANYONE HAS EXPERIENCE OF MITOX SAWS AS THEY ARE ROUGHLY HALF THE PRICE OF HUSKIES.

Why are you shouting ?

Failure to use hearing protection in the past ?

A mate has one. It's not bad and cuts well but has been in for service quite a bit. This may be down to poor fuel as the guy is not great with machinery. Got a Mitox leaf blower myself nothing fancy but it starts and runs OK. Probably the best of the cheaper Chinese kit out there. Mind you if I was wanting a cheap saw would probably get a SH Husky.

Never used one, but seen a few in skips.

I've got a little 40cc mitox, it's been fine, infact better than fine as i've been able to resurrect it twice after being dropped in the river. It's never had heavy use, just limbing and small bits of firewood, which really is all it's up to, so probably not ideal for heavier farm use. Would get a husky 365 fro FR Jones, they have a good deal on at present.

A used/not abused Pro saw would be a better bang for your buck
