I collect saws from the dump, so I guess you could say I collect Poulans
I primarily collect Husky, but I have 40+ brands on the shelf.... LOL

Primarily Stihl, then Pioneer. Have a McCullough, Lombard, John Deere (Efco), Craftsman (70's) in the mix too, which came along as a package when I bought a Stihl or Pioneer from the seller lol...

Husqy, stihl, skill, mcculloch, pioneer, lancaster 60, echo, and I think I have a homelite as well. Mostly husqy at the moment. Stihl is second most, then my mac's. I'll take most anything that's cool, cheap, and or free.
Great question. I collect primarily Homelite's, Poulan's, and McCulloch's. I too have several "other" brands that include Stihl, Craftsman, Echo, Dayton, Skil, Husqvarna, and more. I started out with my Father's 1960's era Homelite XL-12 blue and white chainsaw and specialized in Homelite's for a good while. Poulan's are my second largest specialization as I wanted to learn why they were/are so popular. I now know and have no regrets as I truly enjoy them. I like variants and seek out hard to find items like full wrap handles and chain brakes for my saws. I'm to the point now I like larger cc saws for their power, value, and their ease of repair. Smaller saws are nice, but larger saws work better for me due to the size of my hands, fingers, and eyesight. There it is, Max.

I’ve been collecting Shindaiwa equipment for years. Got around 50 runners at the present time. I’ve got a few other saws but I’ve never had a Stihl or Husqvarna.

B-45. It was amazing when I first started collecting Shindaiwa the used saws and brush cutters could be had for around $100 - $150. The 757 is the biggest saw I have. I’ve run it with a 36” bar before but it does great with a 24”.

I’ve got several 500s but I’d never heard of a 510 before. I’ve cut a lot of fire wood with the 500 saws.

I don't collect saws and I never will. Too expensive and I only like users. However several saws have forced their way into my garage and hidden under all the other refugee junk that finds its way there. So now I have Homelites (1050S, XL925, 1130G), a McC (PM850). Stihl (075, 076S, 084, 090, (and a 090G that is trying to find its way in)).
So if any of you think I should own more old saws...go pound sand. I'm not a collector!

Got U One like this?
I also have a Robbins egg blue Wards, Remington 660 Bantam type.
I look for oddballs and big CCs. IEL, Mall, McCulloch, Wright (blade and chain), Homelite, and one Indian (see avatar). I like to explore the different engineering approaches in the different models.
