pole saw

Check out this Poulan Pro chain/pole saw --great price, but does anyone have any experience with this?? The Stihl HT 75 has a 25cc eng this says 31cc.. I can't get over how cheap this is, the HT75 sells for $560.00, extends to 11ft, this is fixed at 12ft, and at $149. how can you go wrong??

I am not sure but it does not seem to be of commercial quality. Looks like homeowner quality.

It states it is compatable with Snapper, Craftsman, etc., I would be cautious of the quality again. For occasional LIGHT use it would probably be fine though.

I have had two HT 75's for the past 8 years or so and would never think about going out without them. Pd $650 each when they first came out.

Remember, you get what you pay for. Try it out and let us know how it works.

At the risk of being labeled a cynic (who, me?), I'll list three ways:

1) Its a Poulan

2) Its used

3) Its a Poulan


Other than that, its a great deal.. Go for it.

Pullin and pullin.

I know a guy looking to sell a couple of used Stihl stick saws. Some other saws too.

Actually that Poulan is a repackaged Ryobi. It isn't 12' long-it has a 12' working height. Definitley not in the class of the Stihl or the Echo (or the new Husky and Shindaiwa fixed length pruners). On the other hand I would have bought it had I seen it in time. I have the Ryobi powerhead and quick link attachements for hedgeing , blowing and weedeating. It works very well-starts easy and runs strong-it isn't a high RPM engine (7000-7500 max) but it is torquey and durable.
