Reviewing chainsaws is not an easy task given the team-like following these powerful machines have got.

The Poulan chainsaws range have generally been around the mark when reviews are posted but toppling big names such as Stihl and Husqvarna from their perches is not an easy thing to do.

The plus for Poulan fans is they are actually owned by Husqvarna and it’s said they share technologies. On the downside though, this may have impacted the prominence of Poulan as a major player in the chainsaw market.

Poulan probably haven’t done themselves many favors when one scans the reviews on some of their chainsaws online. Yes, they produce excellent tools for the handyman and tradesman however, have they “dropped the ball a little” on some of the saws?

Some Reviews Too Harsh?

I tend to think some of the reviews are a little harsh. As we mentioned earlier, chainsaw brands have their band of loyal followers and it’s a little like motor cars; until your manufacturer produces something totally unreliable then it’s going to take a lot to get someone to switch brands.

The beauty about Poulan chainsaws is you are not “paying and arm and a leg” for them. That’s probably not a good description to make given what a chainsaw can do but the truth is, they are hard to beat for value.

Value For Money Products

In a society where more and more new chainsaw owners are being born daily with the homeowner boom, Poulan have come to the party with machines designed to suit novice users looking for a lightweight design chainsaw which packs plenty of power.

A homeowner, unlike a pro or semi pro won’t be using their machine on a regular basis so spending a fortune on a chainsaw doesn’t make sense.

Spending between $100-$200 for a chainsaw which can handle lightweight to medium tasks is good shopping in anyone’s language. The only question then is whether one can get satisfactory back-up support when needed. This is always a major issue when buying chainsaws and is drummed home regularly to first-time users.

It remains to be seen how competitive Poulan chainsaws remain in today’s market but if you’re looking for a value saw, then it’s a good starting place.

Initial facts: World premiere of the E-Bugster — an electrified Beetle! Beetle concept car is powered by an 85 kW E-motor Zero emissions vehicle was conceptualized as two-seat speedster Wolfsburg / Detroit, 09 January 2012 – For many people, it is the most congenial car of a new era: The Beetle! The successor to an automotive icon. Its world premiere took place in April 2011 in New York, and it was launched on the market in October. Since then, the sportiest Beetle ever has been ready to perform — with up to 147 kW / 200 PS in power. And because all Beetle versions are tuned for agility, versions with less horsepower (from 125 kW / 170 PS in America, from 77 kW / 105 PS in Europe) are still simply fun to drive — mile for mile, kilometre for kilometre. Now, at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Volkswagen is showing that this sportiness can also be transferred to a Beetle with pure electric drive. The E-Bugster was specially designed for this mission: a two-seat Beetle speedster, 85 kW in power, 0 to 60 mph in 10.9 seconds, with zero emissions yet the sharpest of proportions. Blue-e-Motion for a clean future The central electric module of the E-Bugster has an innovative design; it weighs just 80 kg. The energy for powering the electric motor is stored in a lithium-ion battery whose modules are housed in a space-saving location behind the front seats. The battery’s energy capacity of 28.3 kWh enables a range of at least 110 miles (180 km) in the urban

Is your chainsaw starting to seem dull and not perform as well? Looks like it’s time to replace the chain. In order to do this, you will need to know the length of both the chainsaw blade as well as the length and size of your chain. If you’ve checked out the manufacturers’ charts, they might seem a little overwhelming. But it really is pretty simple once you understand what’s involved in the length of the blade and chainsaw chain.

When you’re ready to replace your chain, the first thing to do is determine the size of your chainsaw bar. If you happen to have an Oregon chainsaw, this should be easy. Just check the first two numbers of the ten-digit model number that is stamped on the motor end of the blade. That’s your chainsaw bar length.

Don’t have an Oregon chainsaw that easily shows you the length of the blade? Then here are some tips for figuring it out yourself.

What’s The Best Way To Measure A Chain Saw Blade?

To measure the chainsaw blade itself is simple enough to do. Just put your measuring tape at the end of the bar up against the casing and measure straight down the bar all the way to the tip of the blade.

Blade and bar are two terms that are both used to indicate the same item. This is the blade that extends from the casing of the motor and carries the chain which is what does the sawing for you.

Manufacturers were kind enough to standardize the chainsaw blade lengths into two-inch increments. The most common sizes are 16, 18, and 20 inches although the full range goes from 10 to 42 inches! When you measure your blade, round up to the nearest 2-inch measurement if needed.

Measuring A Chainsaw Chain

To measure the chain on your chainsaw, there are two things you will need to know … the number of drive links and the pitch of the chain.

A drive link is simply a tooth on the chain and your chain’s length is determined by the number of drive links (or teeth). The pitch of the chain also affects the size of the drive links.

The pitch of the chain is important to know as it must match the pitch of both the drive sprocket as well as the bar nose sprocket. This should be stamped on the drive link but if you need to measure the pitch yourself, take the distance between any 3 rivets of the chain and divide by 2.

As an example, a 1/4″ pitch chain might have 52 drive links and be 2.17 feet in length, while a 3/8″ pitch with 52 drive links would be 3.18 feet in length. So the pitch affects the drive link size which affects your blade’s length.

Still unsure? Just check with your chain saw’s manufacturer or anyone who makes chains and they will be able to clear up any confusion you may have.
