Poulan and Huskqvarna are both owned by the Electroloux company. I have a Huskqvarna chan saw 55. It works great. I also have a McCoulloch Mac Cat chain saw. Does anyone have any info on McCoulloch Mac Cat as for as parts?

chain saws

Joe and Chuck--it's nice to see you two arguing again, even if it's about who has bigger trees! I miss your political arguments!

Ok, I have a little Ecko--probably not what you need. My father, a well versed Wisconsin woodsman (where there are real trees--Ha Ha) highly recommends the Stihl. I'll ask him about Husqvarna, I've never heard the name before.

Best of luck with the new property Joe, it sounds like a cool piece of land!

Ryan, we don't argue--we "discuss" (unless Joe wants to "discuss" that). :)

Maybe just about any chainsaw of sufficient power would do for what Joe wants to do. What's just as important is maintenance. Keeping the saw clean (wood chips and dust can foul air filters and drives pretty quickly), the chain sharp (if you're working all day, you should expect to sharpen it at least twice--more if you're cutting in dusty or muddy conditions) and the saw adjusted will go a very long way.

And when you put the saw away, make sure that the gas tank's empty--old gas mix will clog carb jets and generally make for miserable running.

Vibrato. :wink:
Yes, but you can minimize this difference by holding the chainsaw very still!

With a herring? We won't do IT!

Actually, IT doesn't seem like IT would be possible to do IT, but if IT isn't too busy around here tomorrow, I guess I can try to do IT. IT also depends on whether IT rains or not. If IT does, IT will be too wet to even GET to the mightiest tree in the forest.
