i run a craftsman with a 20" bar and am going to retire it soon its cut alot of wood and is getting wore out so i'll be in the market for a new saw soon
Thanks xdiver, that reminded me that I have a BAttery operated saw that I really like also. Got it at Harbor Freight 3 years ago. Nice and quiet.Im the proud owner of a XL12 (blue) Homelite. This old little beast will pull a 20" roller nose bar with seni-chisel chain. It will wear you out,, also have a 3314 poulan for limbing, and a remmington elec pole saw. You notice they get lighter as the list goes on,cause i'm getting old!!!
that is how my craftsman is getting but on top of that once the chain gets worn a little it will randomly jump off of the bar so its not real safe to use anymoreCurrently a Husqvarna Rancher 455, 20".
Used to have a Troy Built saw but every time I wanted to cut wood;
Step 1. Get saw out of box.
Step 2. Screw with it for a couple hours trying to get it to work.
Step 3. Put saw back in box.
Step 4. Curse loudly.
Step 5. Off to the shop for repairs.
And after the third or fourth time of this process Step 6. Get a good saw!!
