       You can't knock-a Tanaka

       Interesting that Tanaka gets a forum of it's own here. I
       actually have one myself, a 320 top handle. And by virtue of the
       fact that it was my only top handle saw, it has always gotten
       some trigger time. Well built little machine.
       I remember that Tanaka did build a 60cc class saw. That would
       probably be an interesting find.

       My UPS driver has a Tanaka 60cc saw. He actually bought a 200$
       carbide rescue chain from me for it, he was using it to demolish
       a old cabin and needed the chain to cut through roofing.  He
       says it heavy but starts everytime.

       tanaka history

       In 1989, Tanaka’s USA assets and marketing rights were purchased
       by the Ariens Co. of Brillion, Wisconsin. Soon after, a new
       subsidiary company of Ariens, Tanaka Ltd., was established to
       continue marketing and support of Tanaka products. In 1990, a
       new line of Ariens brand 2-cycle handheld products (made by
       Tanaka) was introduced for Ariens Distributors and Dealers. In
       1992, Ariens discontinued its relationship with Tanaka and ISM
       was established by a five long-time Tanaka employees.
       In May of 2007, Hitachi Koki Co., Ltd from Japan acquired Tanaka
       and created two new companies- Nikko Tanaka Engineering Co.,
       Ltd. to conduct OPE manufacturing and domestic sales in Japan
       and then Nikko Tanaka Engineering USA Ltd., to conduct North
       American sales and support, based out of Auburn, WA.
       By January 2009, the business functions of Nikko Tanaka
       Engineering USA were fully absorbed as a brand within Hitachi
       Koki Co., Ltd’s North American division; Hitachi Koki USA Ltd
       (commonly referred to as Hitachi Power Tools) based out of
       Norcross, GA. The goal has been to create synergy between Tanaka
       Outdoor Power Equipment and the Hitachi Power Tool business
       resulting in improved business efficiencies, and the
       collaboration of product lines to benefit from technological
       innovations, as well as share in R&D endeavors going forward.
