Emak-EFCO chainsaws opions sought

ken koala

Hi
I currently own 2 Efco saws - *152(51.7cc) and #PTX2700(pole saw 27cc -5 position adjustable cutting unit). I also own Emak- **Zenoah G3200(30.1cc top handle).
*11/08 =385 - 400 hours mostly Aussie hardwoods never miss a beat
#08/10 = 30+ hours again excellent weight power output 2.6m to 3.8m and the adjustable pruner positions - very useful for safer cutting
**06/10 = 80-85 hours {other than a split oil feed hose on first day (replaced within 48hrs with an apology)} efficient easy economic ergonomic and powerful.
Whilst I only collect a 6X3 trailer load of personal firewood about 3 times a month - I have no complaints.

Anyways I was just seeking other people's experiences/opinions on this particular line/manufacturer of saw?

Thanks!

I've never tried them but have some questions.

How much do they cost?

Who makes them and where?

EMAK - Italy - Efco & Oleo-mac are their product.

2 year private use warranties

I paid at local (Ipswich- Griffiths Mowers) about $350 for the GS3200 or Efco 132s, PTX2700 $1150 and the 152 $675.

Other items 156(56.5cc) $990 MT8200(80.7cc) $1500

Efco is distributed by powerup lawncare products ph 1300 363 027.

if I win lotto I think about them or the husky 372xp or stihl ms460 to complete my little collection - also buy property with timber = it's a bugger chasing fwood in the ipswich area now days.

I have the Efco 165, 24"; there isn't a better saw for me.

I'm really surprised by it, but then, the Italians are great with small engines; it's no.3 seller in the EU.

If you have a dealer/supplier in your country, you're all set. Bailey's in the USA is letting go of the Efco's as well as the Solo line; too bad, both great saws.

In Canada, the Efco distributor isn't really doing a good job of selling; and taxes here kill any incentive to buy Canadian. Got both my Efco & Solo from Bailey's for lots less.
