Lol no I love the saw it's actually my favorite besides my 026 but that needs a coil right now
Got mine at Echo dealer with 16" bar. Comes either way.Echo cs-400. . . Nicely built but seems disappointingly heavy with the 18" I really want to slap a 14" on it and try it like i want to use it...
Stephen, Ouch, 330 bucks for that little Tanaka critter! Must be a great saw?
poulan been run hard and wont give up light 46cc pulls a 20 inch just fine.Earthquake CS38xx. It is a RedMax G3800 clone with a partial metal chassis - bar studs mount into the casting. Very light. Takes the same bars though I'm not sure about drive link count. Not worth much financially which is a benefit given the abuse it will get.
I suspect you will find that not much will hold up to that duty better than that Poulan.
Yes, I know. My ported 2775 is a blast, and you can convert them to 3/8 lo pro with a common Wild Thing sprocket.poulan been run hard and wont give up light 46cc pulls a 20 inch just fine.

No problem with mine. Loc tite once and this saw gets used tank after tank been trying to blow it up but wont let loose in the 5 years i been using it. The carlton chain was the ticket on this saw. Its all husky under the covers. Consumer grade husky but still runs like a champ.Yes, I know. My ported 2775 is a blast, and you can convert them to 3/8 lo pro with a common Wild Thing sprocket.
However, given the duty that was described in the OP I didn't think it was a good choice. mainly becasue the A/V springs are weak. If you don't beat on it they are fine, but it sounded like it was in for some rough service. Also, the engine mounting bolts tend to vibrate out.
Actually it's all Poulan, including the covers! I've fixed the bolt problem with mine too, but if you look on eBay you'll see many of them with bent A/V springs from being pulled when bound. The one that bolts to the upper right of the cylinder is commonly stretched, and the one at the rear where the handle attaches is at a right angle with screws that thread into plastic. It's inherently weak - I've replaced the screws with through bolts.No problem with mine.

Me too and a nyloc nut on the rear handle. To make av springs stiffer i have been thinking of putting a straw through them and filling the voids between straw and spring with rtv then heat shrink over them for better control for bore cutsActually it's all Poulan, including the covers!

Part in mine like the oiler and a few other parts have the husky brand casted in but i know my covers are poulan moldsActually it's all Poulan, including the covers!
