I've got an older Stihl I use, 44 model, but came across a Poulan Pro 42cc 18 inch bar at HD today for $99.00. I'm thinking of getting it just because I could
use it. I cut only softwood here in Idaho and usually not more than 20" diameter. Until I can find a lesser weight gently used MS390 to replace my 44 I was thinking of picking this up. I have a friend that has one of these exact models and he cuts like a mother with it. Granted he maintains it regularly, but I wont be using it like I would a Stihl.
Any comments?
