Homeowners that have a lot of trees either around their homes or in their yards find that they need a Poulan chainsaw; the only question is which one do you buy? This is not a hard decision to make but there are a great many designs and models of the Poulan chainsaw that needs to be looked over and a few factors you should take into consideration before purchasing one. Some of those factors include engine size, bar length, features of the chainsaw and gas or electric.
Comparing Gas to Electric
When you compare an electric Poulan chainsaw with a gas Poulan chainsaw you will notice very few differences when it comes to features. Both offer you a wide selection of bar lengths, easy starting, gripped handles and most offer you a carrying case for your Poulan chainsaw. The next thing to compare is the engine and motor size. If you are only in need of a Poulan chainsaw to remove small trees, shrubs and small tree branches, an electric version may be your best buy. However, it you live around a lot of trees, need something to cut firewood for your garage or home and are constantly needing something to cut down a larger tree with, your best buy would be a gas Poulan chainsaw. These are much heavier than the electric version and perform much better on large jobs such as these.
Engine Size of Gas Poulan Chainsaws
All of the gas Poulan chainsaws are two cycle engines which means that you must use an oil additive to your gas before filling your chainsaw. It is the cc’s that make the difference in your two cycle engines and Poulan chainsaws offers you a variety of sizes ranging from 33cc’s to 46cc’s. This means the larger the cc, the harder your Poulan chainsaw will work for you. All of the gas chainsaws by Poulan are powerful tools but the more cc’s your chainsaw feeds your engine, the more rpm’s your chain will make. This makes large jobs much faster and easier.
Motor Size of Electric Chainsaws
Electric motors of Poulan chainsaws are measured in horse power or hp. The smaller the hp the less powerful they are. Poulan chainsaws offers you a wide variety of electric chainsaws that range from 1.5 hp all the way up to 4.0 hp. Poulan chainsaws that give you four full hp are generally the equivalent of a small lawn mower motor. These are great for medium jobs such as small trees, shrubs and tree branches but would not hold up well for cutting many large trees and cutting it into firewood for the winter.
Bar Length of Poulan Chainsaws
There are various bar lengths to Poulan chainsaws ranging from fourteen to twenty inches in the gas versions and from fourteen to eighteen in the electric versions. Of course all of these decisions are your choice and should be considered very carefully before making your purchase. Regardless of the model you choose, you will be more than happy with the value and performance of your purchase.
