PROYAMA 68CC Chainsaw Review: 24-Inch Chain for Heavy-Duty Cutting

What the PROYAMA 68CC Is, and Who For

A gas chainsaw with a 20″ bar lets you handle larger limbs and faster bucking in fewer passes, which changes the job more than a small power bump does.

PROYAMA 68CC Chainsaw pairs that reach with a 2-cycle 68 cc engine, so the cutting span matches the kind of work that needs a longer guide bar. The 11.5 pounds weight also matters here, because extra reach usually brings extra mass with it.

We screened 95 Chainsaws and this is one of 15 chosen for a full review. Full reviews go to the most-rated products that pass screening, at most 2 per brand. This one has 1,751 buyer ratings, the 11th most of the 95 screened. Around $145 and a 4.2 average across 1,751 ratings place it in budget territory. If you are shopping for a gas saw, compare bar length first and treat the rating as context, not the reason to buy.

The Short Answer on the PROYAMA 68CC

Best for: you want a gas chainsaw with a 20-inch bar for larger limbs and faster bucking.

Choose the PROYAMA 68CC if you want that reach for around $145.

• Pro: The 2-cycle 68 cc engine gives this saw a gas setup for harder cutting jobs.
• Pro: The 11.5-pound weight keeps the saw lighter than many gas models in the screened set that state weight.
• Con: The 4.2 average from 1,751 ratings leaves less buyer approval than the strongest-rated options in this category.

Don’t buy this if: you need a saw with a 16-inch bar or shorter for lighter pruning and easier handling.

Price assessment: At around $145, this is a low price for a gas chainsaw with a 20-inch bar.

The Numbers on the Spec Sheet

Bar length is the deciding spec that most separates this PROYAMA 68CC Chainsaw. It measures the usable cutting reach of the bar and the maximum log diameter it can physically span.

Before You Buy: Tree Saw Checklist

The first thing to check is the 20 in bar length, because that size sets the cutting reach you are buying.

• ☐ Confirm the 20 in bar length matches the limbs and logs you plan to cut — if you need a shorter saw for tighter work, you will live with extra bulk or return it.
• ☐ Check the 24 inch chain length against the bar setup you expect to run — if the chain and bar do not match, the saw will not cut correctly and the chain can wear fast.
• ☐ Budget for gas and a 2-cycle fuel mix — if you wanted a battery saw, this gas setup will not fit that plan and you will need a different model.
• ☐ Confirm you are comfortable carrying 11.5 pounds — if that weight is too much for your work, the saw will feel like the wrong buy before the first cut.
• ☐ Check that the 68 cc engine size suits the wood you plan to cut — if your jobs are smaller, you may be paying for capacity you do not need.
• ☐ Measure the space you have for storage and transport around a 20 in saw — if the size is awkward for your setup, you will have to make room or choose a smaller chainsaw.

You should not buy this PROYAMA 68CC if you want a lighter saw for small trimming jobs or if you need a battery platform instead of gas.

Performance in Practical Terms for Harder Cutting Jobs

2-Cycle 68 cc Engine Output for Harder Cutting Jobs

PROYAMA 68CC uses a 2-cycle 68 cc engine, so you have the cylinder size that suits harder cutting jobs and larger logs. A 68 cc class gives you more room for sustained cutting than a small homeowner saw, which matters when the wood is dense and the cut stays under load.

The gas-powered setup suits work that runs longer than a light pruning pass, and the 11.5-pound weight keeps the saw from becoming a dead weight in your hands right away. If you choose too little engine for hardwood, you spend time forcing the cut and may end up replacing a saw that was never sized for the job.

20-Inch Bar Cutting Reach for Bigger Wood

That length is useful when you want to span bigger wood in fewer passes, instead of working around a short bar on each side of the cut.

The listed 20-inch bar length is the figure that matters for usable cutting reach, and it places this saw in the range used for larger limbs and faster bucking. A longer bar also asks more from the motor class, so the reach helps only if you actually need to span thick material.

Anti-Vibration and Quick-Start Comfort Control

PROYAMA 68CC lists an anti-vibration system and a quick-start system, so the saw is set up for easier starts and less shake passed into your grip. Those two features matter most when you are making repeated cuts and want fewer interruptions between starts and cuts.

The 11.5-pound weight is manageable for many cutting sessions, but it still asks more of your arms than a lighter saw. If you plan longer work, that weight pushes you toward shorter bursts and steadier footing, not all-day limbing without fatigue.

Where the PROYAMA 68CC Sits Among the Alternatives

The PROYAMA 68CC is the only 20-inch bar saw in this comparison, and that reach is what most of the field does not match. It also lists a 2-cycle 68 cc engine and 11.5 pounds of weight.

• Against the Ryobi ONE+ Pruning Chainsaw, the PROYAMA runs on gas and uses a 20-inch bar, while Ryobi is a cordless pruning saw with an 8 in. bar.
• Against the PINKWAY 26CC Gas Chainsaw, PROYAMA lists a 68 cc engine instead of 26 cc, so it is the stronger size class on paper for larger cuts.
• Against the WEMARS 62cc Chainsaw, PROYAMA lists a 20-inch bar, while WEMARS also lists 20 inch guide bar, so the cutting reach matches there.
• Against the ORCISH 52cc Chainsaw, PROYAMA carries a 68 cc engine and ORCISH lists 52 cc, so PROYAMA has the larger displacement.

If you want the lowest price, pick the ORCISH 52cc Chainsaw at around $142.99. It is the cheapest of the group, while PROYAMA sits at around $145.

What It Takes to Run the PROYAMA 68CC

What you need before the PROYAMA 68CC starts cutting

Gas is the one thing you need on hand before the PROYAMA 68CC does useful work.

1. Fill the saw with bar and chain oil, which lubricates the cutting system during use.
2. Mix or add the correct fuel for the 2-cycle 68 cc engine before first start.
3. Fit a replacement chain that matches the 20” bar length.
4. Set the chain on the bar and confirm the chain pitch and gauge match the bar and sprocket; those figures are not stated here.
5. Start the saw with the quick-start system and use the anti-vibration system for the first cut.

Warranty and support checks for this Chainsaw

Cover differs by seller and country.

• Confirm the return window, because the 11.5-pound saw is a gas model and a mismatch can be hard to spot after opening.
• Confirm whether bar and chain oil is included, because the cutting system needs it before the first use.
• Confirm whether a replacement chain is included, because the 20” bar needs a matching chain when the original wears.
• Confirm the support contact path for gas-engine issues, because the 2-cycle 68 cc engine is the part most tied to starting and running problems.

On the day it arrives, inspect the box contents and start the return clock if the 20” bar, chain, or oil are missing.

Questions Buyers Ask About This Chain Saw

Is PROYAMA 68CC worth $145, or am I giving up too much to save money?

At around $145, PROYAMA 68CC keeps the spend low while still stating a 20-inch bar and a 2-cycle 68 cc engine. That combination gives you more cutting reach than a 16-inch homeowner saw, but the 11.5-pound weight and gas setup still put it in a heavier, messier class than cordless options.

The 4.2 average from 1,751 buyer ratings gives you extra context, but the specs do the real work here. If you want the cheapest route into a 20-inch gas saw, the price is doing real work; if you want lighter carry or battery convenience, this listing does not give you that trade.

Does PROYAMA 68CC have a 20-inch bar?

Yes, PROYAMA 68CC states a 20-inch bar. That size gives you the cutting reach that matters for larger limbs and faster bucking, while the listing also names a 24-inch chain length.

The bar length is the deciding figure in this category, so that 20-inch value is the key buying detail. The chain length is stated separately, and the groove width is not stated.

How heavy is PROYAMA 68CC?

PROYAMA 68CC weighs 11.5 pounds. That keeps the carry weight moderate for a gas chainsaw, but it is still enough mass to matter during longer cuts or overhead work.

The weight figure helps you judge handling, not cutting speed. If you are comparing it with lighter cordless saws, this number is one of the main tradeoffs for the lower price.

What kind of power does PROYAMA 68CC use?

PROYAMA 68CC uses gas power from a 2-cycle 68 cc engine. That setup suits buyers who want a fuel-powered saw and do not want to depend on a battery pack.

The listing does not state battery voltage, battery capacity, or charger details. That means the buying decision here rests on gas use and the stated engine size, not on any battery system.

Does PROYAMA 68CC come with anti-vibration and quick-start features?

Yes, PROYAMA 68CC lists an anti-vibration system and a quick-start system. Those are setup and handling features, not cutting-size figures, so they do not replace the 20-inch bar as the main buying number.

The listing gives the feature names but not the mechanism or the level of reduction. For you, that means the spec confirms their presence, while the practical effect is not stated.

Final Verdict on the PROYAMA 68CC

You need a gas saw with a 20-inch bar and a 2-cycle 68 cc engine for larger limbs and bucking work. The PROYAMA 68CC is around $145.

Its 20-inch bar is the deciding figure here. That length is the common step up for larger limbs and faster bucking, and the 11.5-pound weight keeps the package from drifting into the heavier end of the category.

Skip it if: you want a lighter tree saw for frequent overhead work, or you need a shorter bar for smaller pruning jobs.
