    Good Points: Lightweight, easy to start.


    Bad Points: Can't think of any. Maybe a bit pricey?


    General comments: This John Deere CS40 saw is over 5 years old and I haven't had a single problem. I've put 1 spark plug in it. Used it to help trim about 300 oak trees on our 26 acres. Have gone through about 10-15 chains and 1 bar, and it keeps on trucking. We also have a CS56, and a Shindaiwa which I'd also highly recommend. JD saws are made by Efco in Italy and Northern Tool sells Efco's with the most warranty I've ever seen in a chain saw.

    So far, my John Deere CS40 started and ran well, but the chain wasn't getting enough oil. Took the recoil, and fly wheel off and discovered the oil tank had been cracked and had tried to be repaired

    I bought the John Deere CS40 because I trusted the name John Deere.I purchased new. I have cut up about 5 trees with it. I can't bet it to rev up. Will maybe rev up to mid range but it is inconsistent to get it any higherI should have bought a Husqvarna.

    The John Deere CS40 Chainsaw has good power to weight ratio.However, the air filter clogs constantly, and the oiler does not work well. The bad points outweighs the good points on this chainsaw, I would not recommend it.

    I have had the John Deere CS40 for 2 years with limited use. The air filter clogs quickly. I have a problem with high speed and have narrowed the problem to the carb. The local dealer had no ideas and had no rebuild parts for it. I finally found a kit over the net but this failed to solve the problem.
