I learned something today. A Poulan 4200 absolutely smokes a 245A, even a ported one. They're not even in the same ballpark. Those 4200s just hod RPMs in the wood like CRAZY. Nice saws Mike!!! Those saws turned some heads today.
I could have told you that! There 2 completly different saws. But the 245 is about 2.5 lbs lighter.
If you like a 4200, just wait till you run a 5200.
