OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Chainsaws and Concrete Cutters Petrol Chainsaws and Concrete Cutters Gardenline Brand Chainsaw

These are sold at Aldi... The brand is gardenline which is made by Aldi themselves. Does anyone know what brand of motor they have? My uncle has just bought one which i have to take down for him tomorrow.

I can take it back if it is no good just thought i should warn him if i have to. It has a 2 year warranty. A 37cc motor and an Oregon chain bar.

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers

Josh

Hi Josh, I expect it will be a cheap Chinese motor, do Aldi sell sprockets & air filters for it?.
What size wood does you uncle plan to cut?,anything over 8" it would struggle to cut.
Don't loose the receipt,those cheap saws are not made to repair(just throw away).

Cheers gmax

Hi Gmax

Its just for around the yard. I do agree that we will be holding onto the receipt. Couldn't see air filters etc there for sale. I'll tell him to try it for a month and let me know how it goes.. I might have a squiz at the motor to see if i can find a manufacturer on it.

Cheers

Josh

Josh, I would be surprised if you found a manufacturer on the motor
or carby, see how it goes.

Cheers Gmax

Josh,

Can you post a pic of the saw as most of the stuff coming out of China is usually a copy of a brand name product and I can only tell as would gmax if we see a pic.

Thats it there. Aldi ad

Josh,

Thats not a bad chainsaw for the price.
They are selling GMC chainsaws for $95,
but they're small at 25cc, 300mm bar and
only 12 mts warranty.

Your Aldi machine is a useful size for around
the backyard.
I will check them out myself at Aldi

But like the man said ... don't lose your receipt.

Cheers

ajay if you do check one out can you let me know what you think of it?

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Cheers

Josh, My current Aldi catalog shows a different
model to yours.
Still a Gardenline with 37cc motor, but a 'large
485mm Oregon guide bar and Walbro carb.'

I think its a slightly up market model,
but so is the price ... its $179.
No, I think yours is better value for backyard use.

I am checking them tomorrow Sat. at Aldi.
Let you know

Cheers
Ajay

Thats the one..Sorry got the wrong link.

Josh,

Yep there's hundreds in stock and here's
the info on the carton ..
405mm guide bar
Model YD-KU03-38A
Product 8583
Return within 60 days for full refund.
2 years warranty

They are not too bad, maybe a bit plasticy
but for the price and intended use ... probably OK.
There's some tools included eg. sharpening file,
tube spanner, etc.

Good luck and Cheers M8

Hi all,
I bought a talon blower from big w for $99 and I am quite happy with it. I mainly use it to clean out our gutters, and it performs well. The only problem with it is it has NO mixture adjustment screws. It starts well enough and has had allot of use.
Anyway I hope your chain saws are the same!
Regards Jay

Haven't heard if he has used it yet will be interesting to see how long it lasts and when it breaks i'll score it and fix it... Free chainsaw!!! haha...

Just punched the model number into google and this is what it bought up

After trying to hack down a couple of the small trees around the house here I gave in and bought a elcheapo chainsaw today.

By my figuring if it cuts down the 3 main trees I want gone it will have paid for itself.

62cc, 22" cut, etc.

If it lastes longer than I need it for I will take that as a bonus.

Joe, you should have kept the Dolmar 143, cut down the trees then sold it

Should have, it is long gone now

Ahhh yes Joe, but isn't hindsight such a wonderful thing?

The "Boss" decided she wanted thgis stuff removed afterI sold the dolmar.

I learnt very quickly that with a grumpy pregnant woman all you say is "yes dear".
