Was in the middle of a project yesterday, and the chainsaw died.
Decided I was not going to mess with a 10 year old Poulan, which was purchased in an emergency, when the previous chain saw died under similar circumstances. Decided to shut down for the day and do some homework on hopefully a better quality replacement.
Due to dealer availability, I have decided that it will be one of the two brands named in the title.
In honor of the two pieces of Stihl equipment that I have in my shed, I have absolutely decided that the replacement will not be a Stihl under any circumstance.
I am looking for a decent quality lighter weight chainsaw of decent quality. Budget is $250 ish. Echo options are the: CS-310, CS-352, and the CS-3510.
The Husqvarna that I have noticed is the 120, which I can get for $192. Even though I can beef up the warranty to 4 years by buying 3 qts of premix, I'm not sure than it is much more of a saw than the higher end Poulan.
I really am leaning toward one of the Echo's when I go out to buy this PM; however, I wanted to get some feedback from those who have more chain saw experience as I, a homeowner, city type user that uses one on occasion. Thanks in advance.
