I have been burning wood for forty years. In 1980 I bought a Craftsman Model 358.356070 chainsaw, a re-branded Poulan 3000, 49 cc chainsaw. It is still my best chainsaw with an eighteen inch bar. Twenty years ago I bought a Wildthing for $99.00 and I bought another one about ten years ago. Four years ago I bought a PoulanPro 5020 ($230.00) and all of these saws still run great. Two weeks ago I bought a Craftsman (Poulan) 36 cc chainsaw at auction for $7.00 and it runs like new. The clutch was hardly worn. I know people like Stihl chainsaws. I do too as I used them when I worked for the city, but for the money, and considering they will last just about forever if you take care of them, (and I know how to work on them), I am sold on Poulan chainsaws. Any thoughts?
