I see that Poulan has a new chainsaw, 50cc. The model number is PP5020.
Anyone seen one or tried it?
Thanks,
Bill
"most power (50cc) for any consumer chainsaw on the market" huh? That souns kinda like "least stinky poo in the outhouse" to me.
I have one. Seems to run nicely. Have not cut with it though. I was surprised to find absolutely nothing inside the muffler. Gives it a nice sound. The clutch cover is metal and most of the plastic parts have the Husqvarna emblem molded into the backside.
I still wonder why they aren't listed on the official website though, just seems odd.

Looking forward to your review once you have broken it in and cut some wood with it. Is it a strato saw? 200 bucks for a brand new 50 cc saw...

It's not on their website, for whatever reason. They're not the only large company that cannot get their crap together and keep their website up to date. However, Poulan parts are very readily available for everything else, so I would not expect problems.The Poulan Weedeater website is a disaster. tough to get through to get parts. I understand they make consumer grade stuff, but you would think they would make it easy and appealing to consumers.
On what do you base this astute analysis? Must be junk because of the brand name? It's a plastic strato homeowner saw built pretty much like every other one from every other manufacturer, out of the same kinds of materials. It just costs less so you can't brag about it on AS.Another hunk of junk. Well atleast they left that stupid tool-less chain adjuster of it.

If I were to be looking for a new saw, this is the one I would most likely buy, probably the Craftsman version. I could walk into Sears and pick one up, parts are available from them too. Has everything I would want, and nothing I don't (like tool-less chain adjusters). And I would expect to modify the tuning and consider a muffler mod, like any other saw. Looks like it already has a decent chain.
LOL - Goin' after the case then, huh? Translation: You've never seen one.Yeah um you fight the power. Like many great companies, Poulan has become a shadow of their former selves. They cost $192 at Amazon and come with a case made in the finest Chicom Sweat Shops.
