    Well last I looked, patience was a virtue.

    No hurry anyway, last post in this thread was in January, so nobody was waiting with bated breath for this

    Still no names, and no physical or email address, just a phone number. This always worries me when I see this.

    Default Baumr AG Saws are just rubbish

    I have bought two of these saws. The first was the 52cc model and it ran okay for around 10 hours but I felt it was underpowered. So I bought the 72cc model with the 24" bar and found it to be okay as well but still felt underdone.

    Anyway, I've just inherited a 026 Stihl and just cannot believe the difference in power and sheer guts. The Stihl kills the Baumr AG by a very long way and it’s an old saw that's done loads of work.

    On the weekend I pulled out the large Baumr AG because the chain on the 026 was blunt and I had a big lump to cut up - the saw lasted for 20 minutes and suddenly stopped - turns out (after half and hour of mucking around after checking fuel etc. that the electric kill switch had failed) – this saw has only done 4 or 5 hours since new.

    Both the 52cc and 72cc Baumr saws are rubbishy and cheaply made garbage – the 52cc model won’t even start no matter what I try – new plug, new switch, start ya b**stard etc. etc. – so don't waste your time or money on this junk - by a Stihl or similar quality saw - even buying a used one you'll be better off...

    Default Buy a Makita 7903

    I have read through this thread with some interest given my recent purchase of a chainsaw.

    No doubt you get what you paid for but here in Oz we always seem to pay a little more for no reason. The big "two" if I can call them that, shaft us for a full 100% on top of what they sell to the yanks for. Why? Simply because most people are like sheep and simply buy the Stihl or Husky on reputation. Don't get me wrong, they make good gear. I just bought a Stihl in the US and it is being shipped out here with my cousin who is coming home.

    My BIL just bought a Makita/Dolmar 7903 for $1,000 here in Oz from Sydney Tools. I did the research for him and it is a very good German chainsaw. Funny thing is that in the US this saw is $849, so only a $150 difference.

    What am I saying. Avoid the crap, avoid the shafting and buy a decent chainsaw that will outlast you. In this case, look at the Makita/Dolmar and you won't be dissappointed. They are a pro saw, just not as well known as the big 2. This is from a bloke who owns both a Stihl and a Husky.

    As to the quality of the Makita 2 stroke gear, I have both the hedge trimmer and leaf blower, both of which get a very good workout on our 250m plus of hedges. In the four years I've had the hedge trimmer, it has been trouble free and easy starting, even after long breaks. It is the equal of my Stihl kombi which I use as an extended hedge trimmer.

    I hate fixing things when I should be working with it instead. Worse still is fixing something that you know will fail in short time. But each to their own!

    Here is the Makita 7901 in action. If you want more info, it can be found on an arborist's forum called arboristsite.com . Those guys know a thing or two about chainsaws! I dare say that the 50cc (DSC500/45) version at $650 would leave the BUMRAG for dead.

    Default Baumr...not a Bummer

    I have to admit to a mixed experience with Chinese chainsaws. My fake 070 failed mainly because of quality control issues in the assembly....the flywheel/magneto had not been seated properly and eventually chewed out the crank shaft. (I'm still hopeful of rebuilding it). About the same time I bought the fake 070 I acquired a Baumr 45cc model to leave at my property in the Snowies...mainly so a relo would not have to experiment with my shiny new Husky. That was in 2008. About the only things that looked dodgy were the plastic clutch cover assembly which had (and still has) a warp in it and the plastic mesh air filter. I was worried that the cover wasn't up to the task of housing the chain brake but in use it has been fine and despite the very simple filter the thing has run well. I was sceptical that anyone could actually sell a saw for $76 bucks but that's what I got it for on ebay. Four years later it is going strong without any major maintenance other than the chains, dressing of the bar and cleaning of the air filter.

    In fact I got to like it and often use it for lighter duty wood cutting in preference to my Husky 260. I may have been lucky but I guess if you get a good one they are fine. I saved the purchase price in cutting the first tonne of firewood. Since that tonne there have been a lot more cut without any sign of the little mongrel giving up.

    Default I Wont Use Baumr I Use The HOLZFALLER G372 A Way Better Chainsaw - As good As Stihl

    Dont Use Baumr I Use HOLZFALLER G372 A Way Better Chainsaw - As good As Stihl


    hey saw your post and thought i would add my experience on Baumr,

    i bought different Baumr models over a year and half time period hopping that the quality might improve and it didn't, the seller wouldn't back me up on warranty or supply me with any parts, so i went and paid a bit more and bought a Holzfaller G372 from eBay and i have to say 10 times the better chainsaw.

    For a start, quality finish, the body and pull start is Alloy Magnesium, the chain brake is built in, unlike the Baumr that has one of those assemblies that is built on the out side of the chainsaw having to push the steel strap over the clutch drum, rubbish and a cheap set up.

    The Holzfaller has the brake all built in, so you dont have to slip the strap over the clutch drum, not only that all the metal components are all stainless steel and not muck metal / white metal like baumr, all stainless and Oh yeah it comes with a Stihl chain.

    There's talk on the town that they are Chinese but i have to say i have never seen a Chinese saw like this one and if it is, i couldn't care, as it is top quality and that's what it is all about for me. Let's face it, china is making everything and they can make great stuff, as my daughters have a couple iphones from apple and we know how big that company is. I have being reading the Stihl have opened a couple factories in China making parts and components there now anyway, so it is all about who controls the quality, so if the quality is good, a good product, the Holzfaller is a good Chainsaw, 10 times better then Baumr, dont waste your time with Baumr, in the long run it will let you down, buy a Holzfaller G372

    here are some photo i grabed from eBay

Seems too good to be true I know but I couldn't find anyone bagging it out when I did a search moments leading up to the purchase. Says it complies with Australian safety standards which is always a good thing. I got tired of begging a friends dad to borrow his ancient (and blunt, hard to start and keep runing) stihl on the odd occasion.

    Just curious if anyone has owned one of these and can give me a heads up of any little gotcha's/tips to make the operation as smooth as possible. I plan to loctite the screws for a start but anything else?

    Opinions?

    Cheers
    PS: Yes I know stihl/husky would have been great and no comparison most likely but I'm short on cash and this thing will be used on the odd occassion to slice up some firewood. I'm not going into the loggin industry with it :lol:

    Edit:hmm perhaps this should have gone into powered handtools section. If a mod thinks that is a more appropriate place feel free to move it. You'll get no objections from me either way.

    Interesting that the manufacturer's website (http://holzfaller.com) and Aussie supplier's websites are both password protected?

    Thumbs up Baumr AG Stihl going

    Sorry to revive an old thread, But....
    I originally posted on this thread back in 2010 that I had brought a Baumr AG SX62 back then and thought I should give an update.
    I just went out today and filled the back of the landrover county with a load of Iron bark and then went out again and filled it with a load of stringy bark.
    It might not be the best, most powerfull saw on the market but it still starts easily and still cuts well.
    The only thing I have done is free up the exhaust and retune to suit.
    I religously run 25:1. And try to keep it as sharp as possible
    For my original $150 investment, Four years of firewood, I am very happy.

    Regards
    Dean

    And you say you DON'T work for them?? one post on the website and it is basically an ad for another one of these generic ripoff style chinese chainsaws, telling us in great depth how they are so much better than the others!

    My last comment on this thread EVER is this, if it is not one of reputable brands (stihl, dolmar/makita, husky, solo, Oleo mac or shindaiwa) I do not want to know about them I can show lots of failed baumr/raider bits and have thrown that many other complete other cheap chinese pieces of rubbish in the scrap metal at work they had to ask me to stop throwing them in, because there was not enough metal in them to recycle. It is only a matter of time before someone brings a holzfaller that has done the same thing. It is good to see that LforLearner has managed to get 4 years of firewood cutting out of his $150 saw, you must be one lucky son of a gun, or don't cut much firewood, But the one thing I can guarantee with a lot less care and tinkering, to keep running, my real saws will get handed down to my kids but my baumr ag will get handed to the scrap man.
    I am told that sharpening handsaws is a dying art.... this must mean I am an artisan.

    Get your handsaws sharpened properly to the highest possible standard, the only way they should be done, BY HAND, BY ME!!! I only accept perfection in any saw I sharpen.

    I have one of the 72cc baumrs, have had it since 2011 and it still goes strong. I love how easy it is to start, and how powerful it is...but I dont love how it rattles out the anti vibe mounts! You get what you pay for as they say...however the hassle of having to glue in the anti vibe mounts is made up for by not having to pay well over a thousand dollars for a reputable brand that is made in the same part of the world as the baumrs.

    My mate cuts wood as a side business of his property - he uses baumrs...this is his 5th season, god knows how many loads. First saw lasted 3 seasons and fried when he was slabbing with it. Second one is what he is on now, the 82cc one.
