Knowing the difference between a two-cycle engine and a four-cycle engine is crucial if you're looking to buy a gas chainsaw.
Almost all chainsaws are 2 cycle because it is more powerful and faster. Two-cycle gas chainsaws are also lighter than four-cycle gas chainsaws and can even be run upside down.
A two-cycle engine only needs one revolution to complete one stroke, while a four-cycle engine requires two revolutions. Two-cycle engines require a mixture of oil and air, while four-cycle engines have a separate oil and air tank. A two-cycle engine is also called a two-stroke engine.
There are many reasons why manufacturers and users prefer 2-strokes to 4-strokes:
A gas chainsaw that runs on a two-cycle engine has more power than a four-cycle engine.
Two-cycle engines are lighter than four-cycle engines.
2 cycle engine chainsaws are more versatile and faster than 4 cycle speedups.
2 cycle gas chainsaw motors are inexpensive to manufacture and maintain.
2 cycle gas chainsaws have other benefits too, like this gas chainsaw, powered by an impressive 42cc two-cycle engine, ideal for medium-duty storm clearing, log felling, and tree felling.
