If money's tight and you want to save some coin don't be afraid to order a good name brand saw from the US. I've done it with Dolmar saws a few times and the current exchange rate is pretty handy. We get positively ripped in Australia on most things chainsaw related...

Onya Faarmgirl. You sound like a good sport.
Matt's suggestion is a good idea.
The Aussie dollar is on the way up.
Spose to be 90c toward the end of the year, so keep a close eye on it.
As Rick and Matt will attest, Makita/Dolmar will supply the goods at the right price.
Any further help needed, just ask.

If money is really tight and you only need a really light duty saw. (ie. one for cutting 6" limbs) a Ryobi from Bunnings is better than a Raiden, even a McCulloch is 1000x better. Just don't buy your spares from Bunnings, geez they're exxy compared to the specialist dealers.
At least the Ryobi uses a Komatsu/Zenoah engine, and the Mc's at least come out of a factory owned by Husqvarna.
I'm amazed at the size of Box a customer of mine struggles through with his Mc (and one chain ) for his combustion heater. He even drop starts it, just like a real saw :monkey:

If you are fencing and cutting real firewood, you'll need a bigger saw than Bunnings sell so either off to the saw dealer or order from OS like the boys have suggested, unless of course you are very patient like Greg the Motel owner with his Mc......

and I was only joshing about your shout, we wouldn't do that to you first up

Thanks for all your help guys! Your time is most appreciated. I'll do more research & looking around for a good deal.

Have a great weekend! :yourock: I'm gonna open & close a gate all day! Woohooo!!

Whos computer is not made in China?

locally here (Richmond) theres a night market and there is tons and tons of vendors selling Chinese crap, and we go every other year and it's still crap, I wish my $6 LED flashlight works without having to bang it.

I have a Chinese generator, after the 3rd use it has to have quick start (ether) to get it going or I get tired of pulling all 82 PSI of compression.

 

[Faarmgirl]

Nah... Western show. Can't ride my bloke at the mo so just helping out.

Has anyone used one of these Raiden Chainsaws? I am thinking of buying one as I don't have much moola to spend. I know Stihls, etc are best, but no bucks!

if i can get one of them homelites i have running i may be able to help you out on it
