Makita EA6100PREG
Built for demanding professional applications, this gas-powered chainsaw from Makita's EA series combines robust power with refined engineering. Its 61cc two-stroke engine generates an impressive 4.6 horsepower at 13,800 rpm, delivering the muscle needed for heavy-duty cutting tasks while maintaining the precision expected from Japanese manufacturing.
Designed with the professional user in mind, this model accommodates an 18-inch (45.72cm) guide bar with 3/8-inch chain pitch, making it well-suited for medium to large tree work, firewood processing, and construction applications. At 5.99 kg without bar and chain, it strikes a practical balance between power and maneuverability. The generous 0.8-liter fuel tank paired with a 0.47-liter oil reservoir ensures extended operation periods, while the 50:1 fuel mixture requirement aligns with modern two-stroke standards for optimal performance and emissions.

Frequently asked questions
How long can the Makita EA6100PREG work between refills?
The Makita EA6100PREG carries 0.8 litres of fuel and 0.47 litres of chain oil, both generous for a 61 cc saw. Larger tanks mean fewer stops across a working day, which is much of the point of this model. Fill both together so the bar keeps getting oil for as long as the engine has fuel.
What is the Makita EA6100PREG built for?
Makita lists the EA6100PREG as a professional saw and the numbers agree: 61 cc producing 3.4 kW, or 4.6 hp. That is felling and bucking territory, sustained work in larger timber rather than tidying a garden. Output at this level rewards an operator already used to handling a full-size machine safely.
What bar does the Makita EA6100PREG use?
The Makita EA6100PREG is specified with a 45.72 cm bar and 3/8 inch pitch chain. That is a fairly short bar for a 61 cc engine, and deliberately so: 3.4 kW pushing only 45.72 cm gives fast, unhurried cutting, because the engine is never stretched by the length it has to drive.
How heavy is the Makita EA6100PREG?
The Makita EA6100PREG weighs 5.99 kg without bar and chain. Filled with 0.8 litres of fuel and 0.47 litres of oil, plus the 45.72 cm bar and its chain, the working weight is appreciably higher. It is squarely a two-handed ground saw, and the extra mass is the price of those larger tanks.
How fast does the Makita EA6100PREG engine turn?
Makita gives a maximum speed of 13,800 rpm for the EA6100PREG, which lets the 61 cc engine hold chain speed under load. Makita does not publish an idle speed, a chain speed, or noise and vibration figures for this saw, so those cannot be compared directly against brands that do list them.
What fuel mix does the Makita EA6100PREG take?
The Makita EA6100PREG runs on a 50:1 mix of petrol and two-stroke oil, never straight petrol. With a 0.8 litre tank, a full fill takes a measurable dose of oil, so mix by measure rather than by eye. Chain oil is separate, going into its own 0.47 litre tank, and never into the fuel.
