Title: need a saw
Post by: sawwood on August 24, 2016, 08:06:12 PM

I have been looking for a chainsaw in the 70 to 80 cc and I see on Craig's list a Efco MT8200. Have never heard of that type
of saw, so does any one know if they are good or have problems ? There was a Stihl 575 for $100 but sold real quick.

I have a Efco,won it right here on this forum.  8) a 152 model,3.15 cu inch,it's a small one,but I have used it alot. Saves my shoulder,I use it for a limbing saw. Yes,I would buy another one. This size does have alot of plastic,but I used it enough to know I like it. Had it about 3 years,use it in the winter too. Starts and runs fine.

Chainsawr did a write up on Efco:

I'd worry about parts availability for a used Efco.
