Not really Pro quality,
September 22, 2008
By ralph4444

"I have used this off and on for about two years now. I also have a Stihl of the same size. Yes the Stihl costs twice as much but believe me it is worth it. The Poulan is always needing repairs, throws chains, and is very difficult to adjust the chain tension properly because the tensioning device will not hold until you can tighten the nuts. Also the fuel and oil caps need pliers to remove. The chain needs resharpening almost continously compared with the Sthil. It is also hard to start much of the time and wore out the starting spindle."

Second Time's a charm!,

"Received chain saw and couldn't get it to stay running. Found out the engine was blown before we got it. Poulan replaced the engine in it at their cost and now it runs like a dream! It is great for intermediate cutting, nothing too large though. After the rough start we had, it was worth the money."

For light-duty only...,

"Thought this might be a reasonably priced alternative for slabbing out lumber. Unfortunately the plastic case isn't stout enought to handle the weight of the attachment."

Poulan lemon,
January 10, 2008
By Obed
from houston texas
|
"I purchased this saw for light work around my 40 acre farm.... the saw runs great and has plenty of power... but.. you can not keep it in working order.. the problem is a very poor chain adjustment design... in very short order the tab that moves the chain breaks... I have had it break on me twice... I took it to the factory rep here in Houston and they tell me that this is one saw they will not sell as they all break... it is a flimsy mechanism. If the factory rep won't sell it, that ought to tell you something... I do not blame this on northern tool, they have been great in helping me on this, but they can not fix the problem.... spend a little more money and get one of their better quality saws...."

great deal for the pirce,
May 21, 2007
By whiteknight

"We use this saw in our lawn care business for fallen limbs and occasional fallen tree due to storms. Came with it's own case and guide.
We used it right off the bat to cut a 16" round tree 50' or so high and cut the tree complete and removed debri in 1 1/2 hours. Had to stop once to sharpen the chain, and 3 times to tighten the chain. The chain oiled great automatically and it was super easy to tighten up the chain.
This saw was a good deal for the buck. Starts fairly easy, good cutting if you keep your chain sharp, but you should do that anyway.
Good smooth cutting, RPMs aren't as high as some of the higher priced chain saws but it still gives you a comfortable handling while in use.
We would recommend this to anyone but loggers that cut for a living. Good all around saw for the buck."

Poulan Pro,
December 8, 2006
By danimal
from Chicago suburbs
|
"I would rate this as a pretty good saw for the price. Came with case, instructions, oil and bar tool. Does not rev as high as some of the more expensive brands but has a nice steady cut. The 20" bar is great for limbing. saw is fairly light, starts well. I would recommend this for part time users, around the yard or small farm enviroments. The case with the saw is a good deal."
