Chainsaw recommendation

[Damon Mailand]

I use a chainsaw once every couple months. For years I’ve been using a Poulan Pro PP4218A but it’s really temperamental, and I spend more time trying to get it to run than cutting wood. I’m about to throw it over the house this morning. Any recommendations on a dependable saw that won’t break the bank? I occasionally cut up small/medium trees for guitar making.

Echo is decent for the money. Cs400 is a fan favorite. Not the most powerful vs stihl or husqy offerings but cheaper and pretty dependable.

Any time budget is the main concern echo is going to the go to however the question is vague. My break the bank and yours can be polar opposites. What’s your budget and how big/what type of wood are you cutting? This has been covered here many, many times.
