Those that have both brands (there have been about three so far), there reviews carry the most weight. They are not dealers nor brand loyal, they just tell it like it is.

For me its the bets tool for the job. If poulan was the best that's what i would have. If i'm spending my money its on the best product no matter what color it is or who makes it.
If it was a fact that the husky 395xp lasted twice as long as the 660 i would have bought it but iv had best luck with stihl.
my .02 for what it's worth

Just a couple

026 bit tough but a good runner.
660 Magpie brand new and no wood to chop. Gettin me a bit disgruntled. Got some covert operation wood cutting LZ fence row clearing. And cant get to it. I dont want to paint my saw black.

Has anyone got a SAW "Ghillie"? For those late night operations.

Maybe my PowerMac with 14" Bread Cutter. Its black. Its awesome. If you have the means I highly recommend picking one up. Its so, how should I say "Chic". All the cool kids are doing it.

Dubbsy

Oh yeah, in Canada we add a sy to everything. Sorta like Franks Hot Sauce. We put that **** on everything.

Yeah we say "Eh". I dont know why. Its just something we do. I dont really use it much but it came to common terminology when Bob and Doug Mackenzie made it a household word. Bob and Doug are Canadian Heroes. If you have a chance look them up.

They were a savior to us in the 80's.

And the "sy" as in "Dubbsy" or "Coxy" well its more like a "y" to end of your name. But if the "y" doesnt work you try and fit what is most close. Like "sy".

Go ahead give it a try. "Mattsy". And you have to say it like Matttttyyyy. Thats Canadian. Its a hockey thing. And yes. This Kentucky Bourbon is not bad at all.
