Finally wore out the old Mc 38cc saw and decided that $$ versus what I use it for my best bet would be the 50cc Poulan Pro. Brought home, filled it fired it up and packed it to take to elk camp. I am a happy camper so far. Felled and processed 4 trees (standing dead Englemann Spruce) with a quickness. Not only was the saw nice and powerful but the chain was a great compliment as well. Gonna cut a couple more cords on post (Ft Carson) here in a couple of weeks and the saw will have paid for itself. Love that!!
