Reader Reviews
(My review is for the yellow Poulan Pro version that seems to have been discontinued, but upon inspection I believe it to be essentially the same saw.) I purchased this saw in the spring from one of the big-box stores and have used it several times. I've taken out two fairly large (14"+ diameter) trees on my property along with several small ones. Like one of the other reviewers, I found that the chain needs constant adjustment. I realize that a new saw needs this more than one that's broken in, but it's still too much. Also, the starter pulley kept sticking on me, leaving the cord hanging out, and it's a huge pain to fix (the pulley is cheap plastic). When it works, the saw cuts fine. It starts reasonably easily and has plenty of power. The saw is fairly easy to handle and has decent ergonomics for occasional use, even light firewood-cutting. However, it's cheaply made and evidently cannot stand up to even moderate use. Sure, it's less expensive than a Stihl or Husqvarna with similar specs and features, but it's MUCH less saw quality-wise. Also, buying from a chain store with no service makes it a major pain when yours breaks, as mine did. I ended up severely damaging the saw (my fault, not the saw's) and instead of fixing it, I decided to purchase a new one. This time around I'll spend the extra dough for a Stihl, from a dealership that can actually work on it.
