I'll be cuttin' limbs and trees maximum 10" diameter.
Mostly,..I want a saw that ain't gonna turn to chit after one winter of storage.
I don't really care about price, within reason. But I want it to start up in the spring after settin' all winter.
You could buy pretty much anything (including Poulan) as long as you run real gas in it and use Stabil or Seafoam without fail.

Quite true. I have a Poulan that is 4 years old now. It is for tree pruning and a couple camping trips a year. I only use Premium gas (Ethanol free), Sea Foam added (1 oz per gal) and synthetic 2-Stroke. It starts in 2-3 pulls each time.
We are looking to buy a house next year...one that will have supplemental wood heat...so I will be upgrading to a "good" saw. I am glad there is so much useful knowledge around here. In Rapid City, we can get most of the major brands serviced, so that is a plus. Just of the top of my head, Stihl, Echo and Husky are around.
