Chainsaws you had to use and didn't like.

[Sabertooth]

I've used a Husky 51,55, Poulan Wild Thing :msp_sleep:,a few poulan 33ccs and Stihl 250. I've use more 55 ranchers than anything, and I hate em. They feel cheap, and half are beat to crap. They're decent for Joe, but hard work isn't em. They may work fair, but close to junk after good long work.

Poulan is not a shock. I would rather buy some old @ss non-running Dolmar or STIHL that parts are hard to find, than those.

Poulans haven't always been the plastic box-store brand for the great Husqvarna mother ship. They made fantastic pro level saws before they were bought by Electrolux. Homelite and McCulloch had similar fates....

 

[lumberjackchef]

One of the first saws I ever owned. POS! I did a muffler mod on one for a guy last year and that woke that little saw up pretty good but I hate the way they feel.

 

[RandyMac]

Almost all of the orange and white saws I owned were disappointing.

A husky 455 it felt like it was about to come apart...

 

[bucknfeller]

I don't like any of them. Chainsaws are over rated.

 

[Mr. Bow Saw]

Never liked the Homelite 410 or the mac 6.

The trash man gave me a looking like new Mini Mac 10.

Real piece of crap. Terrible balance and feel

As soon as it gets warm is acts like it is running out of gas.

It still looks like new

The big Poulan Countervibes are rubbish. Bunch of guys here promoting them just so's they can sell theirs at higher prices and buy good Stihl saws.

Rubbish are they Al ?, I was going to send you a couple more mag case poulan's but if you don't want them?

Mac 15. What a poor excuse for a noisemaker. A handicapped beaver could put wood on the ground faster.

First saw I ever ran. Its a wonder I ever picked up another one.

 

[AUSSIE1]

4 month old MS460.

It was the logging company's and it felt so outdated compared to my 12 year old 371XP!

 

[gmax]

A MS362 useless air filter setup for cutting dry hardwood.

Ugly huh?

 

[abikerboy]

An old plastic case Montgomery Ward (I think was made by Remington). I watched part of the case melt right before my eyes! That being said, the guy that owned it used that saw for many years even after that! It always started for him (though it was always a dog to start), seemed to run like a banshee, and I've watched it cut up many of tree, though I refused to ever touch it again!

 

[arborealbuffoon]

Hands down it has to be an old 031 that was a ground saw for a tree service I worked for. That thing was beaten half to death before I ever had the misfortune of trying to use it. It was a sputtering, smoking nightmare that barely had the balls to even spin 18 inches of chain. As a bonus, it was ugly, overweight, and smelled funny......which reminds me of a couple......oh never mind...
