Hi All,
My Poulan Wildthing just died on me after 8 years of use and abuse, so I'm in the market for a new chainsaw. I need it for yard work, cutting firewood and felling a tree here and there. I would like to buy a stihl, husky or an echo but can't justify paying over $300. How are the newer poulan saws?
Thank you

You can get a "homeowner" type Stihl for less than $200 (I think) I haven't checked the local paper but I remember seeing deals for about $170. Like hrjrkr said, you won't be sorry with Stihl. That what I would buy.
Although I have a Husky as well and it is good, but I bought that used for $50.
Oh, and I wouldn't buy a Poulan saw with your money!

we would cut about five cords two times a year and every other month for the firepits. Poulan just can't handle cutting one cord of juniper, let alone oak. When you buy quality, you make an investment and a husky is worth every penny and will out last the other two, hands down.

Stihl, Husqvarna, Johnsered, all good.... Stihl is best for a little more. Poulan... entry level only, but they are inexpensive, and will work fine for very light duty and occasional use.
