Are you getting into the yard cleanup business lol? I have an 8 year old 3416 Poulan that is a great homeowner saw. The thing has saved me several thousand dollors . I have cut out after digging about thirty small stumps as well as four larger ones, cleaned up after two pretty major ice storms, cut up into firewood size about six matured hardwood trees and trimmed I do not know how many. I t is cold blooded until warmed up a bit but is a pretty solid saw. That being said I have heard hundreds of hate stories about them so buy from someone who does service or will allow a return if it does not run right. Those cheapo Stihl homeowner saws are about the same price and have good dealer backup. Most guys say they are a better saw than a Poulan, I have run both and can tell no difference. Stay away from tooless adjust as everyone i know who gets one has trouble with it. Buy one with the two studs sticking through the cover with nuts attached to it for the chain adjust. If you are serious about cutting firewood buy a pro saw, Stihl, Tanaka, Echo, something along that line.
