Ok. Based on the knowledge I found on this site, I think I will get a Poulan Pro 5020AV from Amazon, with case $197. I will wait a day, so let me know if there is something else in that price range that I should get.
Thanks again for your help!
If I was needing a decent saw for around $200, I'd do this.
Stihl 026 20" Bar Ready To Cut
Most any market in the country will turn up a pretty nice one for just about that. While the Poulan you mention has its fans, few will likely dispute the 026, 026 pro or 260, 260 pro are really much better. Better yet, which will be more valuable if you sold it after cutting one tree?
You could also pick up a much maligned 290 or 029 any day of the week for that price. It will cut lots of wood. Probably be all the saw you ever want or need. But you would be well advised to wait for a clean 026, 026 pro, 260, or 260 pro. Steer clear of the ms170 & 180 IMHO. They simply fetch more than they're worth if that makes sense. Maybe worth $100 clean, lightly used. But any of the others would be far better built saws.
If you insist on going new. An Echo cs400 would be a solid choice. $300 at retail, see em around $200 on ebay a while back. Haven't checked lately.
Just wanted to let all of the Quakeheads know that they are back up for sale. The price is not as good as when the thread started, but I think they are still a good deal. I had a lot of people admire my 38cc modded quake. When I saw these I found 3 other guys that wanted one. I contacted the seller, and they offered me the 45cc version for $45 a piece if I bought 4.
I can't wait for them to get here, and have another new Quake to play with!
OK. I'm in.... can't have too many chainsaws can you. less than $50!!! are you kidding me. I'll port and put a Nitrous fogger on mine and see how fast I can blow it up!
