Are Poulan chainsaws better than mcculloch chainsaws?

Answer 1

If you are asking about new gas chainsaws, they are the same thing. Husqvarna is the parent company of both Poulan and McCulloch. McCullochs made until the mid-eighties (before the company went bankrupt) were generally good machines, although very heavy. I used my dad's Pro Mac 650 alot when I was a kid. Now I have a Poulan Wild Thing and I am not impressed. It's perfect for trimming trees around the yard but not much else. Don't plan on cutting your winter supply of firewood with it.

The big Husgvarnas are still made in Sweden and they are very good saws. The cheaper Husqvarna saws are just Poulan saws with Husqvarna written on them. If this is going to be a long term tool that you want to take some pride in, I'd strongly suggest you put a little more money into a Swedish made Husky. You won't be dissapointed.
