Looks like it, there is a local dealer and that is what the saws he keeps looks like,

says they are not a good saw. He keeps Echo too.

I had one of those ama top handles as a back up for my 200t, about 12 years ago, it was pretty poorly made but very cheap, I only ever climbed with it once and really only used it for odd bits here and there on shrubs etc. I thought they were an Italian company but obviously a Chinese chainsaw

Yes, I thought in the past they had their saws built by Efco / Emak,

looks like they go to the cheapest supplier, can't be good for spare

parts when you need them.

Nope...emak, have never produced that saw.....they used to rebadge a few of thier efco saws for john deere, some time ago, just like echo did, but definitely not that generic chinese saw in your pic. That saw is produced as a blank canvas machine in china by the chinese, to their design and to their quality and is then bought in bulk to be re badged and generally sold to the unsuspecting online

Efco / Emak did produce some of the older AMA model saws, I seen them.

I know that saw in the image is not produced by Efco / Emak, I think as someone

said it looks like a model from the Zomax brand, with an AMA badge.

I would be interested for further information on this. I have been an emak main dealer for nearly 30 years and have never come across an AMA branded efco/emak saw.

 

If you can post link pics etc would be useful.

 

Cheers

The one I saw was 15 years ago, no hope of finding it now to take a picture.

The guy that bought it only did so because it was identical to his Oleo Mac,

and on comparison it sure seemed to be.

 

Its sad how so many of the saw manufacturers legged it to China, and now produce

worse products than they did 30 years ago.
