ole saw/strimmer/hedge trimmer set, and it seemed to be pretty well made and reliable. Anyway, this turned up and seemed to be well built, too. However, it refused to start. Now I'm not exactly a stranger to small 2-stroke motors, but this one defeated me for 4 days. Not even the tiniest splutter to indicate it wanted to run, so I contacted the seller to request a return. I got an almost immediate response, including a video (about which I was skeptical) and a request for a phone number and a convenient time for an engineer to call me if the video didn't help. OK, OK, it started almost immediately, so I feel a bit of a prat, but it almost doesn't need choke at all to start and floods as soon as you look at it. Anyway, 10 out of 10 for customer service.
The saw runs really well, and was getting easier and easier to start during the weekend as it started to get run in. Second tank of fuel, and it was running sweetly. (Note: the manual says 25:1 and the saw says 40:1 for fuel/oil, and I checked with Burrowmount to see which was correct - turns out the first tank or two at 25:1 is fine for running in, then back to 40:1). One last log to chop and we're done for the weekend - the recoil starter handle comes away in my hand. OK, so the knot probably came undone, so I took the cover off and no, the cord had been cut through (presumably by the spring) and the starter had sort of self destructed. Anyway, another email to Burrowmount and a very quick reply to say that they were escalating it to their engineers. Three days later and a complete new starter arrived in the post.
So what can we conclude? For the price, don't expect Stihl quality and reliability, but that goes without saying. Chinese QA still seems to be a bit of a lottery, but these guys have the back-up to make up for any quality issues in the products. The other kit from the same supplier is fine, and having sorted it out, I have no reason to think I should have any more problems with this one. Overall, a great set-up with absolutely superb back-up and customer service.

It's a love/hate relationship with this product.
Love the brush cutters. No issues with them at all...

. Cuts very well.
The hedge trimmer attachment has broken twice on me. The first one was replaced no questions asked which was very nice. I haven't bothered going back on the second time. It seems to be a fault in the gear box. I think it's due to changing the angle of the blade; something weakens and breaks within the housing. Annoying that it's hedge cutting season and I can't do a whole lot.
I'll continue to use it for the brush cutting, strimming and chainsaw.

nd have found it excellent for the work. I have felled small trees and cut up for logs for my wood burner stove. The saw starts easily and is easy to handle. Not as heavy as some I have used. I note that the seller now offers an upgraded set with two sizes of blade with two of each chains.
BU-KO 62cc Petrol Chainsaw 3.4HP 20" Bar with 2 Chains and 16" Bar with 2 Chains - Cover bag and Full Safety Gear
This appears to be even better value than the one I purchased. The after sales service is excellent. My saw has been upgraded to the newer version at no cost. This is service beyond expectations. The recent storms felled several trees, a couple of them quite large, which I have been able to make good use of thanks to the saw which made short work of them. Strongly recommended.As a follow up, nearly a year later, I had problems starting the saw after not using it for a few months. Several failed suggestions by the seller later, the saw was collected and replaced. What about that for service?

es the job well.The instructions are vague and best and require some common sense. Instructions for attaching the harness are absent so need a little more common sense and looking at the picture online helps.....The harness is difficult to adjust once worn. It would be helpful to have a buckle release on one or both straps to make it easier to put on and take off.

d value for money.The machine is a bit on a heavy side but for the price can definitely live with the extra weight vs much pricier machines.It's cutting/trimming well sometimes it is not so smooth tho.

bulous and gives out just the right amount of heat to keep us warm when we get out of the hot tub. We will get lots of use out of this, not just by the hot tub but also on the patio - it’s portable (needs 2 people) - has lockable wheels. Fast delivery and I made some enquiries with the seller - received very fast and efficient responses. Don’t look any further!
