I had one of the 435's for awhile. Ran a 16 inch and 17 inch b&c on it. No problems with it. My brother was needing a small saw and bought it from me. Full of bar oil and fuel it was 2 lbs lighter than my 346xp ne. Also, liked the side adjuster screw on it better than the small tiny one on the 346. The on/off/choke switch all built into the one control is easy to operate. This 435 always started easy and quick. Also, I liked the quality better in its finish and fit of parts compared to a lot of other plastic case competing saws. The 435 also has a metal clutch cover and separate metal chain catcher. This is not seen much anymore on the plastic case small saws.

435 is a nice little runner, the 235 is a Poulan model AFAIK

In my opinion best POulan 36-38cc saw was the S25DA or CVA. Powerful saws that run extremely well with a 14-16 in bar. I muffler modded one of mine and its a bear!
