Built for demanding farm and ranch applications, this gas-powered chainsaw combines professional-grade performance with Japanese engineering reliability. Its robust 55.6cc engine generates an impressive 4.1 horsepower, spinning the chain at up to 13,800 rpm for efficient cutting through various wood types. The powerhead weighs just 5.8 kilograms without bar and chain, offering an excellent power-to-weight ratio that reduces operator fatigue during extended use.
Designed with a recommended 45.7cm (18-inch) bar and 3/8-inch chain pitch, this saw handles medium to large diameter logs with confidence. The fuel system features a generous 0.57-liter tank capacity paired with a 0.32-liter oil reservoir, providing extended runtime between refills. Operating on a standard 50:1 fuel mixture, it delivers the consistent performance that Makita's century-plus legacy in power tool manufacturing promises.
