I asked about the echo cs310 in the chain saw area.  Look it up.  Seems like the best buy in a small saw.  That is what I plan to buy when my poulan dies.

Welcome AnthonyLordi, I don't have any experience with any of the saws you listed but I can add one, my brother has had good luck with his Husqvarna 435, he has cut enough wood to heat his house for two years now with no problems. lots of good reports for Echo as well. Dealer service and location should be a factor for making a decision.

That model exceeds my budget a bit, I appreciate it though.

There are a few service centers nearby, and there are a few dealer only places locally also, I must say I'm pretty capable of repairs myself on most other tools or appliances, so should that really matter?

Thank you.

See how your budget works at VMInnovations dot com, for a 435.

Word of caution when tightening the bar nuts on a saws with the studs mounted in plastic like the Poulan Pro series.  You only need to snug them tight.  If you try to get them really tight you will pull the studs causing the plastic to bulge & the bar will not tighten at all.  There is a reason the scrench included with saws have a short handle/screwdriver.
