It finally arrived, my new Makita EA3201SR 32cc chainsaw. $310 AUD delivered.

I could have gotten a teal version for an extra $29 at another dealer. The teal model is EA3201S.

Yea it is really cool, I’d take that over the teal any day, I like stuff that is slightly out of the ordinary

Ok, I finally got a chance to go cutting today.

Before you read on, I’m not very experienced or knowledgeable about chainsaws.

However, it seems great! Lots of power and I really noticed how lightweight it is after using it for a while (~4.2kg). Revs well and starting seems easy. The tool free chain tensioner is adjustable with gloves on, so it’s great to have.

I am using Echo power blend oil and castrol bar oil and I believe I was cutting Iron Bark.

It also comes with an Oregon chain.

Have fun with it 😀
