I just went through a 1 owner poulan 50cc recently that didn't run. Did a carb kit took caps off tuned it. Ran good cut strong and fired easy cold without use of primer bulb. The owner of that also has a new 461 and 390 something stihl both new saws and still swaps em out for the Poulan cause its lighter. Unlike the pp4620avx the 5020 runs a 3/8 chain not a .325
No sir you want the 5020

That is the 42 cc smaller saw.
The 50cc is the pp5020
The 5020 has more umph
Sportsmans guide also has it on sale today

I don't own the 50 cc but I do have a 46cc pp4620 avx and it served me well and still does. It's been broke inn nice and run hard still hasn't blown up
How's the anti vibe?
Yes the stihl easy start is easier but is also far more failure prone, expensive to repair when it does fail and has more components to fail

Northern Tool...
IMHO, the 420/421 is hands down the best choice at $300.

Dang, I'm dying here 
Every time i find something that sounds good, it is either out of my price range or unavailable. This is a good thing; being inundated with info. Keep it coming!

cs400 brand new is way under your budget,,, do a MM and trim limiters and it will be a good saw for many years,,,, i have put many many hours on the 370 and 400,, i sold all my saws but 1 and that is the cs400

I can suggest a homeowner saw that will work great for you. I own one. It was a gift from my father when I started heating with wood. Homelite 3816 from Home depot. $139 with a case. Go ahead and buy the Oregon 18" bar and chain combo and throw away the one that comes on the saw. You will have less than $200 in it and this saw really does cut well. I have been cutting oak with mine and it has no problem. The antivibe is very good for its class. It is also very easy to start. No it is not in the same league and a pro stihl or husqy or dolmar but I know from experience it punches above its weight and is a pleasure to run. The factory b&c are junk and the chain jumps off very easy. That is why I recommend getting the Oregon combo from the start. Just a budget friendly suggestion.
