I found they cut well, but broke a bunch of cutters in cleaning up fallen trees (dirty). Shame really as I thought that was the perfect use case for this system.

Looks like I'm just gonna pick up up a CS-590. The easy $400 solution. Thanks to all that responded.

As I keep cleaning up some of my property I realize I need something a tad bigger to finish off the project with a little more ease... So looking for a 60-70cc Saw, PHO is fine, Major brand preferred. Stihl, Hqvarna, Makita, Dolmar? Looks are secondary, It needs to run well tho obviously. Or at...

No big deal if it takes a while or doesn't sell here. Just putting it out there in case someone in my vicinity could use it. I don't need to sell it. It doesn't however see a whole lot of use around here so I figure just let it go.

Poulan Pro PP5020AV 16" Forester bar with 2 new spare chains and a spare air filter. In good shape, never used anything but Tru-Fuel. Runs and operates as it should. I simply don't use it enough and hate to see it just sitting there. $125 No shipping, Sorry. Located in area code 18042.

Just wanted to add: Bar is made in Norway, x-cut sp33g chain made in Sweden.

I just got a new X-force bar and a few loops of X-cut chain for my 340, looking forward to trying it out. https://www.husqvarna.com/us/forest/basics/x-force-chainsaw-bars/

looks like pole saw country to me.

Done, clamp came today and saw is up and running. Time will tell how my motoseal sealant holds up, I found it easier to just apply on the cylinder rather than the base so went with that /shrug Pretty easy job, Should I ever feel like doing a 346 conversion or w/e it shouldn't take too long.

There is no saying what the situation will be for gas powered OPE in 10 years either. Buy what you want to use now. Very hard to plan far ahead atm. Things are changing, and will accelerate. Maybe a $100 Zenoah clone tophandle would be prudent? Small investment and would do the job for pruning...

These might be of interest:

In my case it's a low hour saw that just needed the intake clamp fix, if anything i might open up the muffler a bit. Maybe later in the winter months I'll rethink things, when I got nothing better to do :)

Nah, it's a very low hour saw. Even tho it's old, I used it mostly for smallish jobs around here. As I'm taking on some clearing projects on my property that will most likely change tho, but I have other saws as well. It's a lovely slim lightweight with good power. Well designed IMHO.

Thanks man, I had it since new. 18 years maybe? It's certainly crossed my mind many times to go 346 or possibly bigger, but for some reason or other it has never left me disappointed as is. I might still do it one winter when I'm bored enough. But it seems a little much to throw $100+ on a Saw...

Finally getting around to replacing the plastic clamp on the intake of my 340, so cylinder is coming out. Straight forward job (man where the cylinder bolts loose tho...) but when researching sealant types for this I saw a youtube video where the man was slathering sealant...

I ignored that criteria on purpose as generally out of reach with current products, gas or electric. If the OP would settle for a good hand saw and a pair of loppers this would be much more in line with a 30 year lifetime expectation.

At this day and age wouldnt a battery saw make the most sense for light/pruning work? https://www.stihlusa.com/products/chain-saws/battery-saws/ https://www.husqvarna.com/us/products/chainsaws/536li-xp/966729174/ https://www.echocordless.com/products/chain-saw/
