For most firewood cutting, the Husqvarna 130 with its 16-inch bar is my best overall pick because a shorter bar is easier to handle for routine bucking and limbing. The 63cc saw with 20- and 18-inch bars stands out for buyers who want more engine capacity and a second bar option, while the 62cc saw with 20- and 24-inch bars suits occasional work on larger logs. The central tradeoff is reach and cutting capacity versus weight, maneuverability, and the effort of maintaining a larger gas saw. Several listings share similar 62cc engines and bar configurations, so brand support and the details of each setup matter when comparing them. Read on for the full breakdown and guidance on matching a saw to your woodpile.

Key Takeaways
- The Husqvarna 130 is the clearest choice for routine firewood tasks where a 16-inch bar’s lighter, more manageable reach matters more than cutting larger logs in one pass.
- The 63cc model with both 20- and 18-inch bars offers a useful setup choice for buyers who want extra engine capacity without committing to a single bar length.
- The 62cc models with 24-inch bars are aimed at larger-diameter wood, but that added reach can make ordinary bucking and limbing more tiring.
- Many entries cluster around 62cc and a 20-inch bar, so the engine number alone does little to distinguish them; bar options, brand support, and intended workload matter more.
- The 58cc Snoonwee and 62cc multi-bar listings give buyers alternatives to the common 62cc/20-inch setup, but a second bar is useful only if it matches the wood and chain setup the buyer actually needs.

More Details on Our Top Picks
62cc 2-Cycle Gas Chainsaw with 20-Inch Bar
The 62cc engine and 20-inch bar make this a practical match for splitting time between firewood rounds and occasional tree work. Its automatic oil supply helps keep the chain lubricated as you cut, while the emergency brake and dual throttle switches add safety-focused controls. Compared with the Husqvarna 130, this saw offers a longer bar and larger engine for tackling thicker wood, but it lacks the Husqvarna’s listed Air Injection cleaning and LowVib dampeners. The one-year warranty with technical support and replacement parts is a useful ownership detail. A tradeoff is the routine fuel and engine maintenance shared by gas saws, and residual chain oil may drip during storage, so I’d keep it on a protected surface.
Pros:- 62cc engine and 20-inch bar suit a range of firewood sizes
- Automatic lubrication helps reduce chain and guide bar wear
- Emergency brake and dual throttle switches provide safety-focused controls
- One-year warranty includes technical support and replacement parts
Cons:- Residual chain oil may drip during storage or after use
- Gas operation requires fuel and routine maintenance
Best for: Firewood cutters who want a 20-inch gas saw for regular home use and occasional larger cuts
Not ideal for: Buyers who prioritize a compact, lighter-handling saw or want to avoid fuel mixing and engine maintenance
- Engine:62cc two-stroke
- Bar length:20 inches
- Power source:Gasoline
- Lubrication:Automatic oil supply
- Safety features:Dual throttle switches and emergency brake
- Warranty:1 year
Our verdict“Choose this for a direct 20-inch firewood setup with automatic lubrication and warranty support, if you can manage gas-saw upkeep.”
63cc Gas Chainsaw with 20-Inch and 18-Inch Bars
The main reason to choose this saw is the included 20-inch and 18-inch bar setups: the longer bar reaches thicker firewood, while the shorter one is easier to manage for smaller cuts. Its listed 3.7 HP output, easy-start recoil system, shock-absorbing handles, and automatic oiler make it a flexible package on paper. Compared with the 62cc 2-Cycle Gas Chainsaw with 20-Inch Bar, it gives you another bar length and specified power and chain-speed figures, but the 14-pound weight may become tiring during long sessions. Replacement chains also need to match the separate specifications for each bar. I’d pick it for varied cutting jobs, while someone who wants a simpler single-bar setup may prefer the 62cc model.
Pros:- Includes 20-inch and 18-inch bar setups for different wood sizes
- Listed 3.7 HP output and 85 ft/s chain speed
- Automatic oiler feeds the bar and chain during use
- Easy-start recoil and shock-absorbing handles support usability
Cons:- At 14 lb, it may feel heavy during extended cutting
- Replacement chains must match the specifications for each bar
Best for: Firewood cutters who alternate between larger rounds and smaller limbs and want both bar setups included
Not ideal for: People who need a light saw for extended cutting sessions or prefer one chain setup to maintain
- Engine:63cc two-cycle
- Power:3.7 HP
- Engine speed:8,500 RPM
- Chain speed:85 ft/s
- Bar lengths:20 in and 18 in
- Weight:14 lb
- Automatic oiler capacity:0.26 L
- Starting system:Easy-start recoil
Our verdict“Choose this if switching between two bar lengths matters more than keeping weight and chain maintenance to a minimum.”
Husqvarna 130 Gas Chainsaw, 16-Inch
For homeowners cutting modest firewood loads, the Husqvarna 130’s 38cc engine and 16-inch bar favor manageable cuts over the reach of the larger saws in this group. The fuel pump and combined choke/stop control are intended to simplify starting, while LowVib dampeners address comfort and Air Injection helps keep larger debris out of the air filter. Compared with the 63cc Gas Chainsaw with 20-Inch and 18-Inch Bars, this is the more compact choice for routine yard work and smaller logs, but its 2 HP output and recommended 14–16-inch bar range make it less suited to thick rounds. I’d favor it when control and familiar home-and-garden use matter more than cutting capacity; frequent large-volume firewood work points toward a higher-displacement option.
Pros:- 16-inch bar and 38cc engine suit smaller home firewood tasks
- Fuel pump and combined choke/stop control support easier starting
- Inertia-activated chain brake is a listed safety feature
- Air Injection and LowVib dampeners address engine cleanliness and handling
Cons:- Recommended bar length is limited to 14–16 inches
- Gas operation still requires fuel and routine upkeep
Best for: Homeowners cutting smaller logs and doing occasional yard cleanup who value starting aids and vibration reduction
Not ideal for: People processing large rounds or high volumes of firewood that benefit from a longer bar and more engine displacement
- Power source:Gas
- Engine displacement:38 cc
- Engine power:2 HP
- Bar length:16 inches
- Recommended bar length:14–16 inches
- Safety feature:Inertia-activated chain brake
- Air cleaning:Centrifugal Air Injection system
- Vibration reduction:LowVib dampeners
Our verdict“Choose the Husqvarna 130 for smaller firewood jobs and yard tasks, but step up to a larger saw for thick rounds.”
62cc Gas Chainsaw with 20- and 24-Inch Bars
This model stands out for its 20- and 24-inch bar options, giving firewood cutters more reach for larger wood than the single-bar 62cc 2-Cycle Gas Chainsaw with 20-Inch Bar. The forged magnesium crankcase is a build detail, and tool-free chain tensioning may make adjustments simpler between cuts. A winterized carburetor with pre-heating also gives it a cold-weather angle that the product data for the Husqvarna 130 does not list. The longer bar can be useful on larger stock, though it may be more saw than needed for routine small rounds; the provided information does not include weight or power output to help judge handling. I’d choose it when bar reach and cold-weather features lead the decision, while a simpler 20-inch saw is a more focused fit for ordinary firewood.
Pros:- Includes 20-inch and 24-inch bar options for differing wood sizes
- Forged magnesium crankcase is a specified construction feature
- Tool-free chain tensioning can simplify adjustments
- Winterized carburetor with pre-heating is suited to cold-weather operation
Cons:- A 24-inch bar may be cumbersome for smaller firewood and routine yard cuts
- Weight and power output are not specified in the supplied product data
Best for: Experienced firewood cutters who regularly handle larger rounds and work in cold conditions
Not ideal for: Occasional users cutting small logs who do not need a 24-inch bar or cold-weather carburetor features
- Engine displacement:62cc
- Bar lengths:20 and 24 inches
- Chain brake:3D anti-kickback
- Crankcase:Forged magnesium
- Chain tensioning:Tool-free
- Emissions compliance:EPA Phase III and CARB
- Carburetor:Winterized with pre-heating
Our verdict“Choose this for the added reach and cold-weather carburetor, if your firewood work justifies a 24-inch setup.”
Baococo 62cc 20-Inch Gas Chainsaw
The Baococo combines a 62cc, 3.5 hp engine with a 20-inch bar, then adds tool-free tensioning, quick-start technology, an anti-vibration system, and a winterized carburetor. That mix makes it a more feature-focused single-bar option than the 62cc 2-Cycle Gas Chainsaw with 20-Inch Bar, whose supplied details emphasize automatic lubrication and warranty support instead. Its 3D anti-kickback chain brake and stated EPA Phase III and CARB compliance are also useful points in the product data. The tradeoff is that weight and fuel capacity are not specified, leaving buyers without two practical details for planning longer firewood sessions. I’d shortlist it for someone who wants convenience and cold-weather features in a 20-inch saw, but who can verify fit and handling before committing.
Pros:- 62cc engine with listed 3.5 hp output and 20-inch bar
- Tool-free chain tensioning and quick-start technology
- Anti-vibration system and 3D anti-kickback chain brake
- Winterized carburetor and stated EPA Phase III and CARB compliance
Cons:- Product weight is not specified
- Fuel capacity is not specified
Best for: Firewood cutters seeking a 20-inch saw with tool-free tensioning, quick-start features, and cold-weather readiness
Not ideal for: Buyers who need confirmed weight and fuel capacity to assess handling or plan longer cutting sessions
- Brand:Baococo
- Model number:YYJ250692024
- Engine:62cc, 2-cycle
- Horsepower:3.5 hp
- Bar length:20 inches
- Chain tensioning:Tool-free
- Safety feature:3D anti-kickback chain brake
- Compliance:EPA Phase III and CARB compliant
Our verdict“Choose the Baococo for its convenience and cold-weather features in a 20-inch package, provided the missing weight and fuel details suit your needs.”
DOWILIN 62cc Gas Chainsaw with 18- and 22-Inch Bars
The DOWILIN 62cc pairs a substantial engine with 18- and 22-inch bars, giving firewood cutters a shorter setup for routine rounds and a longer option for larger wood. That range makes it more adaptable than the single-bar DOWILIN 62cc 20-Inch Gas Chainsaw elsewhere in the roundup. Its tool-free tensioning can simplify adjustments, while the anti-vibration system and quick-start technology address comfort and startup effort. The tradeoff is substantial weight: at 16.6 pounds, it may feel tiring during long cutting sessions or frequent repositioning. The forged magnesium crankcase and winterized carburetor add useful hardware, but buyers should weigh that feature set against the heft before choosing it for regular firewood work.
Pros:- Includes 18- and 22-inch bars for different wood sizes
- 62cc, 3.5 hp engine
- Tool-free chain tensioning
- Anti-vibration system and quick-start technology
Cons:- 16.6-pound weight can increase fatigue
- The longer bar setup may be cumbersome for routine smaller rounds
Best for: Firewood cutters who want one saw with shorter and longer bar options for mixed-size rounds
Not ideal for: Users who prioritize a lighter saw for extended sessions or frequent overhead handling
- Engine:62cc, 2-cycle
- Horsepower:3.5 hp
- Bar lengths:18 and 22 inches
- Weight:16.6 pounds
- Chain tensioning:Tool-free
- Safety feature:3D anti-kickback chain brake
- Crankcase:Forged magnesium
- Emissions compliance:EPA Phase III and CARB compliant
Our verdict“Choose this DOWILIN if bar flexibility matters more to your firewood routine than keeping saw weight down.”
DOWILIN 62cc 20-Inch Gas Chainsaw
For buyers who expect to cut in colder conditions, this DOWILIN 62cc has a specific advantage: its winterized carburetor with pre-heating. The 20-inch bar suits a range of firewood rounds, while the 3D anti-kickback brake, anti-vibration system, and quick-start technology add practical support during repeated cuts. Compared with the two-bar DOWILIN 62cc with 18- and 22-Inch Bars, this model gives up bar choice in favor of a straightforward single-bar setup. Its forged magnesium crankcase and tool-free tensioning round out a useful feature set, though the listing does not provide a weight or horsepower figure, making it harder to compare handling and output directly. This is a focused pick for cold-season work, not a proven lightweight option.
Pros:- Winterized carburetor with pre-heating
- 20-inch bar suits many firewood tasks
- 3D anti-kickback chain brake
- Tool-free chain tensioning and anti-vibration system
Cons:- Includes only one bar length
- Weight and horsepower are not listed in the provided product data
Best for: Rural homeowners who cut firewood in cold weather and want a single 20-inch setup
Not ideal for: Buyers who need multiple bar lengths or clear published weight and horsepower figures
- Engine displacement:62cc
- Engine type:2-cycle
- Bar length:20 inches
- Chain brake:3D anti-kickback system
- Crankcase:Forged magnesium
- Chain tensioning:Tool-free
- Carburetor:Winterized with pre-heating
- Emissions compliance:EPA Phase III and CARB
Our verdict“Pick this model for its cold-weather carburetor features if a single 20-inch bar fits your firewood needs.”
Snoonwee 58cc Gas Chainsaw with 20-Inch and 18-Inch Bars
The Snoonwee 58cc keeps the two-bar idea while weighing 14.5 pounds, two pounds less than the 62cc DOWILIN and Baococo bar-pair models listed here. For firewood batches that vary in size, its 18- and 20-inch bars offer a practical swap without the 22-inch reach of those alternatives. The included two chains and automatic oiling support a ready-to-switch setup, and the 550 ml fuel tank provides the listed capacity for work between refills. Its 58cc engine is smaller than the 62cc options, so buyers seeking the largest displacement in this group may prefer one of those models. This remains a gas saw that needs fuel and maintenance, and 14.5 pounds is still a substantial load for prolonged handling.
Pros:- Includes 18- and 20-inch bars with two chains
- 14.5-pound weight is lower than the 16.6-pound DOWILIN and Baococo models
- Automatic chain oiling
- Easy-start recoil system and quick-stop chain brake
Cons:- 58cc displacement is below the 62cc options in this batch
- Still heavy for extended handling
- Gas engine requires fuel and routine maintenance
Best for: Home firewood cutters who want two bar choices and a somewhat lighter saw than the 62cc alternatives
Not ideal for: Buyers who need a 22-inch bar or want to avoid gas engine upkeep
- Engine displacement:58cc
- Horsepower:3.6 hp
- Guide bars:20 and 18 inches
- Chain speed:91 ft/s
- Weight:14.5 pounds
- Fuel tank capacity:550 ml
- Oil capacity:260 ml
- Warranty:2 years
Our verdict“Choose the Snoonwee for two useful bar lengths and lower listed weight, provided 20 inches is enough reach.”
Baococo 62cc Gas Chainsaw with 18- and 22-Inch Bars
The Baococo 62cc combines 18- and 22-inch bars with a winterized carburetor, making it a fit for firewood cutters who want to switch bar lengths and work in colder weather. Its listed engine, weight, dimensions, and model number match the DOWILIN 62cc with 18- and 22-Inch Bars, so the choice between these two comes down to the product details provided: Baococo lists one year of spare-part availability, while DOWILIN calls out an anti-vibration system. Both are relatively heavy at 16.6 pounds. Quick-start technology, tool-free tensioning, and a 3D anti-kickback brake cover useful handling and safety features, but buyers should be comfortable managing a large gas saw for repeated rounds.
Pros:- Includes 18- and 22-inch bars
- 62cc, 3.5 hp engine
- Winterized carburetor with pre-heating
- Tool-free tensioning and 3D anti-kickback brake
Cons:- 16.6-pound weight may tire users during long sessions
- A 22-inch bar can be more saw than needed for smaller firewood
Best for: Firewood cutters who want 18- and 22-inch bar options plus cold-weather carburetor features
Not ideal for: People seeking a light saw, or buyers who prefer a simpler single-bar tool for small rounds
- Engine displacement:62cc
- Horsepower:3.5 hp
- Bar lengths:18 and 22 inches
- Weight:16.6 pounds
- Chain tensioning:Tool-free
- Safety feature:3D anti-kickback chain brake
- Carburetor:Winterized with pre-heating
- Spare-part availability:1 year
Our verdict“Choose Baococo if you want two bar lengths and cold-weather features in one 62cc saw and can handle its weight.”
62cc Gas-Powered Chainsaw with 20-Inch Guide Bar
This 62cc GTHAN STORE saw is the only option in this batch with a listed output of up to 4.2 hp, paired with a 20-inch guide bar for general firewood cutting. That stated output distinguishes it from the 62cc DOWILIN 20-Inch model, which highlights a forged magnesium crankcase and winterized carburetor instead. The included installation toolkit may help with setup, and the accessible controls and easy-start design aim to keep routine operation straightforward. The product data gives a chain speed of 8500 rpm/min, but does not list bar alternatives, automatic oiling, or a chain-brake feature. At 14 pounds, it is lighter than the two-bar 62cc saws here, yet still a considerable tool to manage through a long cutting session.
Pros:- 62cc two-cycle engine rated up to 4.2 hp
- 20-inch guide bar for common firewood work
- 14-pound listed weight is below the 16.6-pound two-bar models
- Installation toolkit included
Cons:- Only one guide bar length is listed
- Product data does not specify a chain brake or automatic chain oiling
- Gas engine needs routine fuel and maintenance
Best for: Firewood buyers who prioritize a stated 4.2 hp output and want a single 20-inch bar
Not ideal for: Users who want multiple bar options or documented chain-brake and automatic-oiling features
- Brand:GTHAN STORE
- Engine displacement:62cc
- Engine type:2-cycle gasoline
- Horsepower:Up to 4.2 hp
- Guide bar length:20 inches
- Chain speed:8500 rpm/min
- Weight:14 pounds
- Included component:Installation toolkit
Our verdict“Consider this GTHAN STORE saw if its listed power output and single 20-inch setup match your cutting needs.”
Baococo 62cc Gas Chainsaw with 20-Inch Bar
For buyers who cut firewood through colder months, this Baococo pairs a 62cc engine and 20-inch bar with a winterized carburetor and pre-heating. That cold-weather equipment gives it a more specific role than the SUPMIXTOOLS 62cc 20-Inch Gas Chainsaw, whose listed features focus on basic cutting and stopping controls. Quick-start technology and tool-free chain tensioning can also make routine setup less of a chore. The tradeoff is substantial heft: at 16.6 pounds, it may wear on the arms during long sessions, especially when bucking logs at shoulder height. I’d choose it for ground-level firewood work in cold conditions, but buyers prioritizing a lighter saw or extended overhead cutting should look elsewhere.
Pros:- 20-inch bar suits many firewood logs and general tree-cutting jobs
- Winterized carburetor with pre-heating is tailored to cold-weather operation
- Quick-start technology and tool-free chain tensioning simplify setup
- Anti-kickback chain brake and anti-vibration system add useful control features
Cons:- At 16.6 pounds, it can be tiring to maneuver over a long cutting session
- A 20-inch bar may be more saw than needed for small branches and light pruning
Best for: Firewood cutters who work through cold weather and want a 20-inch bar with a winterized carburetor
Not ideal for: Buyers who need a lighter saw for long sessions or frequent overhead cutting
- Engine:62cc, 2-cycle
- Bar length:20 inches
- Horsepower:3.5 hp
- Weight:16.6 pounds
- Chain tensioning:Tool-free
- Safety feature:3D anti-kickback chain brake
- Emissions compliance:EPA Phase III and CARB compliant
Our verdict“Choose this Baococo for cold-season firewood cutting if its weight is manageable for your workload.”
SUPMIXTOOLS 62cc 20-Inch Gas Chainsaw
The SUPMIXTOOLS keeps its firewood setup focused: a 62cc two-stroke engine, 20-inch bar, low-kickback chain, safety switch, and quick-stop chain brake. Those listed controls give it a clear practical case against the more cold-weather-focused Baococo 62cc Gas Chainsaw with 20-Inch Bar, which adds a winterized carburetor and anti-vibration system. The SUPMIXTOOLS description instead emphasizes an ergonomic design and includes an installation toolkit, so it may suit someone assembling and using a saw for ordinary log and branch work. There’s a meaningful information gap, though: weight and noise figures aren’t provided, making it harder to judge comfort for a full day of bucking. Its two-stroke engine also calls for fuel mixing and ongoing maintenance.
Pros:- 20-inch guide bar is suited to larger firewood logs and branches
- Low-kickback chain is specified for the cutting setup
- Safety switch and quick-stop chain brake provide clear control features
- Installation toolkit is included
Cons:- Two-stroke operation requires fuel mixing and regular engine maintenance
- No weight or noise information is provided for judging handling and comfort
- Does not list cold-weather carburetor features like the Baococo 20-inch option
Best for: Firewood cutters seeking a 20-inch saw with a low-kickback chain and basic stopping controls
Not ideal for: Buyers who need published weight and noise figures to compare comfort or plan extended sessions
- Engine:62cc, 2-stroke
- Guide bar:20 inches
- Chain:Low-kickback
- Safety features:Safety switch and quick-stop chain brake
- Design:Ergonomic
- Included component:Installation toolkit
Our verdict“Pick the SUPMIXTOOLS for general firewood jobs if its undisclosed weight and noise level are acceptable to you.”
DOWILIN 62cc Gas Chainsaw with 20-Inch Bar
When firewood work means repeated cuts and occasional chain adjustments, the DOWILIN’s tool-free tensioning is its clearest practical advantage. Its 62cc, 3.5 hp engine and 20-inch bar put it in the same broad cutting class as the Baococo 62cc Gas Chainsaw with 20-Inch Bar, and both list quick-start, anti-vibration, and 3D anti-kickback features. That overlap makes the DOWILIN a close alternative rather than a different size of saw; the listed weight is 16.5 pounds, just below the Baococo’s 16.6. Neither figure suggests an easy carry for a long day, and this model’s long bar may feel unwieldy on smaller logs. I’d shortlist it for substantial firewood batches where straightforward chain adjustment matters, then compare the two on handling and included support.
Pros:- 62cc, 3.5 hp engine and 20-inch bar suit larger firewood tasks
- Tool-free chain tensioning makes adjustments simpler
- Quick-start technology and anti-vibration system are specified
- Lists a 3D anti-kickback chain brake
Cons:- At 16.5 pounds, it can be tiring to carry and control for long periods
- 20-inch bar can be cumbersome for small logs and pruning
- Its listed features closely overlap with the Baococo 20-inch model, leaving few clear differentiators
Best for: Owners processing substantial firewood batches who want tool-free chain adjustments on a 20-inch saw
Not ideal for: Occasional cutters handling small logs who would be better served by a lighter, shorter saw
- Engine:62cc, 2-cycle
- Horsepower:3.5 hp
- Bar length:20 inches
- Chain length:24 inches
- Weight:16.5 pounds
- Chain tensioning:Tool-free
- Emissions compliance:EPA Phase III and CARB compliant
Our verdict“Choose the DOWILIN for larger firewood batches if you value tool-free tensioning and can handle its weight.”
Baococo 62cc Gas Chainsaw with 20- and 24-Inch Bars
For firewood buyers who regularly face thick logs, this Baococo lists 20- and 24-inch bar lengths, giving it more reach than the single-bar DOWILIN 62cc Gas Chainsaw with 20-Inch Bar. The 62cc engine, quick-start technology, anti-vibration system, and tool-free tensioning cover the needs of general cutting, while the longer listed bar may help with larger stock. But its 19-pound weight is a serious handling cost compared with the 16.5-pound DOWILIN, and the product description does not clearly say whether both bars are included. That ambiguity matters because the size flexibility is the main reason to choose this version. I’d favor it only if the bar configuration is confirmed and your firewood pile includes logs that regularly challenge a 20-inch setup.
Pros:- Lists both 20- and 24-inch bar lengths for different log sizes
- 62cc, 3.5 hp engine is specified
- Tool-free chain tensioning can simplify routine adjustments

VEVOR 62cc Gas-Powered Chainsaw with 20-Inch Guide Bar
The VEVOR makes its case with a 62cc, 3.8 HP engine and a stated maximum cutting diameter of 18 inches, giving buyers a more explicit capacity target than the SUPMIXTOOLS 62cc 20-Inch Gas Chainsaw, which does not publish a cutting diameter. Hot and cold start options support changing conditions, while the emergency stop and protective guard add practical control features. Its 550 ml fuel tank and 260 ml chain oil tank provide useful capacity details for planning a session, though they don’t remove the need to manage refills. The main ownership tradeoff is the 40:1 fuel mixture, and the product data flags startup issues that may require customer service assistance. I’d choose it for thicker firewood when its stated capacity fits the logs at hand, but not for a buyer who wants a low-maintenance start-up routine.
Pros:- 3.8 HP engine and 20-inch guide bar are specified for substantial cutting
- Maximum cutting diameter is stated as 18 inches
- Hot and cold start options address different operating conditions
- Fuel and chain oil tank capacities are provided
Cons:- Requires a 40:1 fuel mixture
- Startup issues may require customer service assistance
- Tank capacity details do not eliminate refills during extended cutting
Best for: Firewood cutters whose logs approach 18 inches in diameter and who want explicit tank and cutting-capacity figures
Not ideal for: Buyers who want to avoid fuel mixing or are unwilling to troubleshoot possible startup issues
- Engine displacement:62cc
- Engine power:3.8 HP (2.8 kW)
- Maximum speed:12,000 rpm
- Guide bar length:20 inches (508 mm)
- Maximum cutting diameter:18 inches (455 mm)
- Fuel tank capacity:550 ml (0.14 gal)
- Chain oil tank capacity:260 ml (0.07 gal)
- Fuel mixture ratio:40:1
- Body material:PA6+30% glass-fiber composite
Our verdict“Choose the VEVOR for thick logs within its stated 18-inch capacity if you are comfortable mixing fuel and handling possible startup troubleshooting.”
How We Picked
I compared these saws for the work implied by firewood cutting: felling or sectioning trees when needed, bucking logs into stove lengths, and handling the smaller cuts around a woodpile. The criteria were engine capacity, included bar lengths, likely handling demands, versatility, brand identity, and the practical upkeep expected from a gas saw. Bar length matters because longer reach can help with larger logs, while shorter bars are generally easier to control through repeated cuts and limbing.
The ranking favors a balanced fit for common firewood routines over the biggest stated engine or longest bar. The Husqvarna 130 leads for manageable everyday use; multi-bar options rank well when their flexibility fits a specific workload; and long-bar setups are better suited to buyers who regularly face larger wood. Many products provide sparse distinguishing details and repeat similar 62cc/20-inch specifications, so I avoid treating those shared numbers as proof of equal build quality or support. Buyers should verify chain pitch, replacement parts availability, warranty terms, and the included accessories before choosing among close listings.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Gas Chainsaws For Firewood
Choosing a firewood saw starts with the wood you cut most often and how long you work at a time. The following factors help translate a listing’s specifications into a setup that fits your routine.
Match Bar Length to Typical Log Diameter
Think about the logs you handle regularly, not the largest one you might encounter once a year. A bar that reaches across typical rounds can reduce repositioning, while an unnecessarily long bar adds leverage and can feel cumbersome during repeated cuts. A longer bar also does not guarantee a clean cut through wood wider than its usable reach; safe cutting technique and access to the far side still matter. For mixed-size wood, a shorter everyday bar can be easier to manage than using a long bar for every task. Check the saw maker’s approved bar range before buying a different length later.
Choose Engine Capacity for Workload, Not the Headline Number
Engine displacement gives a rough sense of the saw’s class, but it cannot tell you the whole story about cutting speed or balance. Chain condition, bar length, power delivery, and maintenance all affect how the saw performs in wood. A larger engine can help when making sustained cuts in demanding material, yet it usually comes with more weight and fuel use. For a modest seasonal woodpile, a manageable saw may let you work longer with less fatigue. Compare complete saw details and published weight rather than treating a cc figure as a performance guarantee.
Treat Multi-Bar Packages as a Setup Choice
A package with two bars can be useful if you genuinely switch between smaller limbing jobs and larger rounds. It can also add parts that need compatible chains, storage, and occasional replacement. Confirm that both bars are approved for the saw and identify the chain pitch, gauge, and drive-link count required for each setup. A second bar does not automatically make a saw more versatile if changing it is inconvenient or the needed chain is hard to source. Buyers with one consistent kind of firewood may be better served by a single well-matched bar.
Plan for Fuel, Chain Care, and Seasonal Storage
Gas saw ownership includes more than filling the tank: the chain needs sharpening, tension checks, and lubrication, and the air filter and spark plug need attention over time. Follow the manufacturer’s fuel mix and storage instructions, since stale or incorrect fuel can cause starting and running problems. If the saw will sit between cutting seasons, learn how the manufacturer recommends draining or storing fuel. Before choosing a lesser-known listing, check whether replacement chains, filters, and other routine parts are easy to obtain. A saw that is straightforward to maintain can be a better long-term fit than one with a longer bar and uncertain parts support.
Account for Weight and Cutting Position
Firewood work often means repeating the same cut many times, so handling affects the whole day. Consider the saw’s weight with bar and chain installed, along with how you will move rounds and position the wood. A long bar can improve reach but also changes balance and may increase fatigue, especially during limbing or cuts near the ground. Avoid choosing a larger setup just because it appears more capable on paper. If you are new to chainsaws, training and protective equipment are part of the purchase decision, not optional extras.
Check Support Before Comparing Similar Listings
When several saws share a 62cc engine and 20-inch bar, the listing headline may reveal little about their day-to-day differences. Look for clear warranty terms, a manual with usable maintenance guidance, and a reliable way to obtain compatible chains and service parts. Confirm exactly what comes in the box, since accessories and bar configurations can vary between listings that sound alike. Brand recognition can help identify an established support network, though it does not replace checking the terms for the specific model. These details matter most when the saw is expected to work every season.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 16-inch bar enough for cutting firewood?
For many household firewood routines, a 16-inch bar is enough for bucking modest-diameter logs and handling limbing. It is easier to maneuver than a longer setup, which can help when cuts are frequent or take place around a woodpile. Large rounds may require repositioning or a different saw, so compare the bar length with the diameter of the wood you actually process. The Husqvarna 130 is the roundup’s clearest option for buyers who prioritize manageable everyday cuts. A shorter bar does not remove the need for safe handling or proper support under the log.
Should I choose a 20-inch bar or a 24-inch bar for firewood?
A 20-inch bar is a more versatile starting point for mixed firewood duties, while a 24-inch bar makes more sense when large-diameter logs are a regular part of the workload. The longer bar can be heavier and less convenient for routine limbing and smaller cuts. It also needs a saw approved to run that bar and a correctly matched chain. In this roundup, the 62cc models offered with 24-inch bars are specialized choices rather than automatic upgrades. Let your typical wood size and handling comfort decide.
Does a 62cc chainsaw cut faster than a 58cc model?
Displacement alone cannot predict which saw will cut faster in a given log. Chain sharpness, bar setup, engine condition, wood species, and how the saw is maintained all affect cutting progress. A 62cc engine may suit demanding work, but it can also bring extra weight and fuel demands. The 58cc Snoonwee is a distinct alternative in this group, though the available specifications do not establish a head-to-head cutting advantage. Compare verified performance information and handling details before treating a small difference in cc as decisive.
Are two included bars worth choosing over one bar?
Two bars are useful when you regularly move between different kinds of work and will actually change the setup. For example, a shorter bar may be preferable for limbing, while a longer one can help with larger rounds. Each bar may require its own compatible chain, and changing setups adds storage and maintenance tasks. Check that the saw supports both lengths and that replacement chains are readily available. If nearly all your cutting involves similar-sized logs, one well-chosen bar is often simpler.
What should I check before buying a less familiar gas chainsaw brand?
Check the warranty process, manual quality, parts availability, and the exact chain and bar specifications before deciding. Ask whether routine parts such as filters, chains, and starter components can be sourced for the particular model. Read the package details closely to confirm which bars and accessories are included. The roundup includes several similar 62cc listings, so the headline engine and bar sizes alone are weak ways to judge long-term ownership. If you depend on the saw every season, service access should carry real weight in your choice.
Conclusion
For the broadest fit among these options, I recommend the Husqvarna 130 as best overall for routine firewood work where a manageable 16-inch bar is an advantage. The best value direction is a straightforward 62cc/20-inch listing that provides clear warranty and parts information; the similar models make support details more useful than small spec differences. For a best premium-style setup, choose a 62cc model supplied with a 24-inch bar only if larger logs are a regular job and the saw is approved for that configuration. The best choice for beginners is the 16-inch Husqvarna for its more approachable bar length, paired with proper training and protective gear. For buyers with varied log sizes, the 63cc model with 20- and 18-inch bars is the best specific-use pick for switching between two practical cutting setups. Match the saw to your usual wood and confirm parts support before settling on a near-identical listing.
