 Power-to-weight ratio Jan 18, 2010
By Mikethevike
This is a very powerful saw for the weight. A comparable Stihl is about 50% heavier and when you have a lot of wood to cut the lighter weight is worth the extra money. The saw has served me well cutting up many > 30" oak, maple and ash trunks and lots of smaller trees and fallen timber. The chain oil dispenser is leaking a bit but the saw has also been used extremely hard for several seasons. I have worn out 4 or 5 chains already and I have switched to a carbide tip chain (Really worth its hefty price!)
The saw looks really beat up but still starts on the first pull and runs like a champ. Only complaint: woodchips and sawdust packs inside the safety brake housing and can interfere with smooth running so it needs to be taken apart and cleaned out regularly.
This saw is a serious tool in the class of the midsize Husqvarna and Stihl.

 Great Saw May 06, 2009
By Jason G. Godin
"Dog lover"
I did alot of research before buying a saw. I looked at alot of different modles. I chose this saw without looking at it but only from the reviews that I read(if you look long enough online you will find some). I am really glad that I went with this saw. It is well made and runs great. Just make sure you buy the right saw for your needs. This may be big for some people. if it is bigger that what you are looking for try the Makita modle a little smaller that this with the 18" Blade and 50cc's. You will not regret buying this saw. My best purchase in years.

Making Lumber with Makita 6401 in Alaska on M5 Logosol Mill Dec 06, 2010
By D. Wightman
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RZF0YP0YMI9OF Video of my stock Makita 6401 cutting lumber this winter in Alaska at -18 degrees on my Logosol M5 sawmill. Very nice saw with plenty of power for cutting. I had to double the speed of the video to fit in Amazon review specs so its 2x speed. Its been a great powerhead for my sawmill, have a Stihl ms660 but prefer to use the Makita.

Great chain saw Nov 16, 2009
By Boston Pete

From the reviews that I read, I was concerned about my ability to operate this chain saw safely. When I read the owners manual, I was even more concerned. However having used it now for a few days taking down 4 large Ash trees and cutting them into 18" rounds, I am happy to say that while it certainly is a lot more saw than my old Craftsman 18" 46cc saw, it is no more difficult to handle and control. While it is not Makita's fault, I did spend a bit of time looking for fully synthetic 2 cycle oil for the 50 to 1 mix, but I was able to locate a supply nearby. Using 91 octane gas is also a new twist that caused me to buy an additional gas can. However, I think it is worth it as the saw seems to run really clean. I definitely think it was worth the money.

Great saw Oct 23, 2008
By A. Bates

Well constructed, started easily, didn't leak, smart placement of everything and really cuts. The only thing holding it back from 5 stars is that I haven't used it long enough to talk about longevity (though the fact that home depot fills its rental fleets with these speaks well to their lifespan) and I though the chain loosens too easily. However, the the price, you are in the area of the big boys...
