[AT] Chain Saws

[carl gogol]

I got frustrated with my Poulan 20" saw throwing chains a few years ago and 
took it to a pro oriented shop .  Their comment (ignoring the Poulan ???? 
comments) was you really shouldn't be limbing with a long bar, 14" would 
work a whole lot better.  I bought a 14" Stihl miniboss with the non-tools 
chain tension option when they went on sale and never looked back.  If I 
occasionally watch the chain's tension it never comes off and is a whole lot 
easier to use when  compared to the Poulan.  I eventually bought a Stihl 290 
Farm boss with a 16" bar and basically never use the Poulan any more - it 
takes a big saw engine to pull a 20" chain well.
