New Chainsaw Tomorrow

 I told you before how my Worx 10" chain/pole saw stripped the big gear inside and I can't find the part anywhere being it was discontinued, yet a lot of places still sell the exact same saw (Worx WG309). So I ended up getting a pole saw and a bigger 18" electric chainsaw. Well, both work really well but being they are electric, your limited to where you can cut wood. So tomorrow I'm going to get a 20" gas powered chainsaw.

I had a Craftsman 18" chainsaw which I had for years which was pretty good chainsaw even though it was under water in three different floods! I ended up giving it away for a guy to haul some junk out of here. It still ran but needed a new chain, bar, and drive sprocket. Besides that, it was getting pretty old and I done got my money's worth out of it.

Looking around at chainsaws, I was looking for something that had around an 18-20" bar and had a good bit of power. I was looking at Husqvarna chainsaw's but man, I was seeing a lot of bad reviews about them. This one guy but one and it ran for about 15 minutes before it quit and wouldn't start again. The guy took it back and decided he needed two, one for a backup. Turns out, one started then quit running, the other one never started at all. He ended up taking them both back and got two other chainsaws of a different make which they both ran fine.

I'm not saying Husqvarna isn't a good chainsaw, like the guy said, he thought they got a bad batch that had a problem with the ignition system.

So after looking over a lot of chainsaws, I decided to go with the Prorun 20" 55.5 cc chainsaw. Pretty much everywhere I read it got good reviews.





Another chainsaw I had good luck with was an Echo chainsaw which I bought of a guy really cheap. I forget wat size bar it had on it, either a 12" or 14" bar which I ended up take off and putting on a 14" or 16" bar. Did a lot of sawing down trees with that saw and cutting the wood up for firewood. That was many, many moons ago so I don't know how their chainsaws are today. I just know that saw was a good saw and lasted a number of years.
