BU-KO 65cc Petrol Chainsaw, 20-inch & 16-inch Bars

The BU-KO 65cc petrol chainsaw is the eighth entry in this guide. It arrives as a kit rather than a bare saw: a 20 inch bar and a 16 inch bar, with two chains supplied for each, a carry bag, safety gear and a tool kit. The engine is a 65cc air-cooled two-stroke running a 25 to 1 fuel mix, and the listing states 3.89 HP from it.

That figure is the first thing to look at closely, because it is the largest horsepower claim in this guide's 62cc class while coming from an engine that is not in that class at all — it is 65cc. The specification table then disagrees with the product title in two places. The title and bullet points describe 20 inch and 16 inch bars; the spec table gives Chain Length as 10 Inches. The same table lists the saw's dimensions as 25 centimetres long, which cannot be right for a tool fitted with a 20 inch (roughly 51cm) bar. On the buyer side, 123 ratings average 4.1 out of 5, but 13 of those are one-star ratings and 62 are five-star. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing for this saw, not from a test of our own.
