My old 40cc Poulan saw died on me today when I was out limbing, trimming up, and cutting down a bunch of small cedars. After 10 years of great service, something let lose in the motor. I ended up finishing the job with my 50cc saw....damn, it wore me out!
So I'm in the market for another small lightweight saw. The Poulan was a great saw (even though lots of people bad mouth them)......but I think this time, I'd like to go with an Echo, Stihl, or Husky. 40cc was even almost overkill for what I was using it for...so smaller might be better.
I want something small enough that I can use it all day trimming, and limbing small trees....and not kill my back. A 10" or 12" bar would be plenty big. Light weight is key, but I want it to have enough power to fell an 8" cedar if I needed too.
Looking for suggestions......
Thanks!
