    well i cheaped out and bought a $175 61.5cc 18" "Perla Barb" off ebay

    why ? i couldn't justify the cost of a good quality saw at the moment and this unit uses the same bar and chains as the husky did.

    how did it go?

    comes with a carry case, spare spark plug and air filter, chain, bar, oil mix bottle and some c grade safety gear for the princely some of $175 landed at your door.

    took fifteen minutes to put it all together as per the easy to follow directions.

    oiled up and fueled up, primed it and three light pulls on the cord and it was howling like a good 2 stroke should...

    cut up some 15" diameter logs i had laying around and stopped the saw.

    hmmmm blue oil running down side of the crankcase.....

    on closer inspection i found the chain oil reservoir wasn't up to the job

    dam

    sent off an email to the seller and next morning i had an email back with a free post label to send the power head back

    played that game and two days later a new power head landed on my door step

    played the assembly game again and fired it up and did a little bit of work with it and it came up well.

    next day i did about an hours work with it including about 5 mtrs of slabbing cuts on a silky oak log i had laying around..

    gotta say, it's one hell of a unit for the money honey...

    and the backup from the seller was superb

    Looks to be the big brother of a 16" Ross branded saw I bought from M10 maybe 10 years ago.

    Colour, air cleaner, function layout, etc all look identical but a little bigger.

    Mine has done a massive amount of work and still starts and runs fine. Does not like hot starts............. have posted about that, but not a huge issue.

    Have a Stihl chisel chain on it now and it just flies through stuff.

    Couple of things to watch...........

    The black spiked thing on the front of the body that grips for leverage needs loctite on the 2 retaining screws or it will disappear.

    The nuts and studs that secure the bar are made from a grade of hard cheese......... do not over tighten or get the nuts cross threaded. I'm down to one usable.

    Have fun with it, DL
