I bought this a couple years ago at the same price. For $100, you can't go wrong. I don't do anything fancy with mine, just make sure you run non-ethanol gas in it. Always starts right up. Learn how to sharpen the chain and it will serve you well. I've since upgraded to a larger, used Stihl pro saw. But I've done a decent amount of standard homeowner type stuff with my Troy-Bilt. Wouldn't hesitate going with this one.

Seems like a very good deal. But for the little use I put to these, I prefer my Worx plugin 18 inch that always starts up and don't have to worry about stale gas or gummed up carb

Quote from Loudog504 :
Honestly, for home owners, the battery chainsaws are a lot less hassle. But they will cost more than this. This is a good deal for the price for sure.
The electric saw doesn't cost that much more when you factor in the price someone is going to charge you to get this thing running again after you let it sit in a shelf for 18 months with bad gas in it.

Unless you regularly need to cut large diameter wood, dealing with a gas motor just seems like a hassle. If you're just using it at home and not going out to harvest firewood, you usually don't need to do that much cutting (and even a hand saw can do a lot). Small engines like to be used, they don't like to sit on a shelf for months at a time.

Sure, if you live on a big forested property where there's a risk that a storm knocks out power and blowdown blocks your road and traps you at home, it might make sense to have a big saw stored dry so you can fuel it and go...but for most people just pick an electric on a battery system you already own.

Good advice most deal hunters won't take. Which is why I will eventually pick mine up on Marketplace for peanuts.

Teryl Would say the brand (MTD), stands for " Made To Die". Briggs is no longer a American company either. I forget who bought MTD ( Briggs and Scrapthem, Crapsman, tron built, Scrub cdfette ect..) are now chinal companies.. Your not getting a knock off of a Stihl either. What I am trying to say, I would bett anything, this is a couple houndred hour tool at tops..

I lost all faith in MTD years ago.. Plastic cam gears? really?

26 pounds?!!!
Typo, Troy-Bilt's site has the TB4218 as 12.2 lbs. They also sell it for $219 so this is slick. In for one, thanks OP.
