McCulloch Chainsaws

The History of McCulloch Chainsaws

In 1943, Robert McCulloch of  Milwaukee, Wisconsin founded McCullough Motors Corporation. The company had a name change in 1958, becoming McCulloch Corporation. For over fifty years, they have been the manufacturers, inventers and refiners of some of the world’s best chainsaws.  

The McCulloch chainsaw put in place a standard by which all other chainsaws are judged. McCulloch’s 5-49 two-man chainsaw was lighter in weight and had more horsepower than all other two-man saws out there. Electric chainsaws came along in 1972. Blowers, hedge trimmers, and string trimmers that were all gas powered followed in the 1980’s.  

Automatic oilers, chain breaks and electronic ignitions are all standard features in McCulloch chainsaws. Buyers also have the option of getting features such as anti-vibration handles, carry cases and smooth Pull starting systems. McCulloch offers a line of high quality electric chainsaws that are economical, lightweight, and designed to handle easily.  

Their powerful gas chainsaws are completely assembled and have several safety features to give your machine longevity, problem free performance, and handling that is easy and safe. From the primer carburetor to the electronic ignition down to the hard chrome cylinder, McCulloch chainsaws will be with you for the long haul.
