Tanaka Junk?

[Andy Collins]

I had one of those several years ago when I was on line clearance, cheap little saw at the time not aas powerful as the Stihls, but good enough when in a bucket for pruning. when everyones kit got stolen it was the only saw left behind, which showed it popularity!! BUT I was the only one who was able to go and earn some money, so I had the last laugh!

not very robust as climbing saws,plastic sarround,the chain break with much use will break!

i find it badly balanced,good engine ,slower revs than Husky or Stihl.

You may wish to keep is as back up,but you probably wouldnt want tp be seen with it!

I've had a couple of Tanaka hedge trimmer's in the past and still do excellent machine's dont get used all winter, fresh fuel in the summer and they alway's started no problem.

 

But i've had the misfortune to use their top handled saw, complete waste of money fecking useless!

Chain break used to bend before it came on, bloody dangerous thing wouldn't use one if it was given to me, or even if i was paid to use it which in hindsight i was when i started out!
