Troy-Bilt TB4218CC 42cc 2-cycle Gas Engine 18" Chain Saw

 (10 customer reviews)

This chainsaw was purchased at Canadian Tire (Canada) and was made in Taiwan. I rated 2 stars simply because it can cut wood--when it works. Other than that, I find it frustrating to use. It is hard to start and once started, refuses to idle and dies, and then often floods when trying to restart. The chain bar oil leaks somewhere (can't find leak) so always keep newspapers stuffed in the bottom of the case to soak up the oil. I have about 10-15 hours time on this, but will probably replace it now with a GOOD North American-made brand.

This model has a bar that is disconnected but if you have a problem and need a replacement bar you can try ( Oregon 504322 ) i was able to make this bar fit my chain saw when the bar went bad. as far as the OEM bar good luck finding it because it is next to imposable. other then that this chain saw works pretty good for me. They quit making the chain that fits this unit and there is no chain to take it over according to them. they will not tell you that the (Oregon 504322 chain and bar kit) will fit this machine. hope this helps if you ever need a replacement bar.

I bought this at Lowe's thinking I was getting a quality machine that was made in Wisconsin .
I never paid attention to the small writing on the label until the thing fell apart in less than 2 months. Oiler broke, enginge would die after about 2 minutes at a time.Then finaly would never start again

This is not a Troy-Bilt but a cheap China made product that is the exact same saw as the McCulloch that was selling for $100.00 less. Just red instead of yellow

In today's market brand name no longer matters because there are companies like Troy-Bilt trying to deceive you into thinking you are buying a better product because of thier name.

I wound up buying an American made Poulan pro 20" It is a pleasure to run and can cut a cord of wood without even adjusting the blade.

I dont like being tricked and will avoid Troy-Bilt products forever
