I have run cheap Polin, 550, Super XL & 330 Homelites, Stihl 046 etc. I sent my 17 yr old son to TSC Sat and he came back with a Husky 340 that is a very little saw but I am very impressed for the dollar. I have no idea why I got two big trailer loads of dirty, dumped on the gravel and skided odds and ends junk lumber. I cut both the tandem loads with that little saw and still did not sharpen it. In the evening the sparks flew every single cut and I did not sharpen the darn little saw. I have cut firewood since 1971, and the only sorce of heat all those years and unless it was getting very late in the evening, I always sharpended the saws every tank of gas---regardless. This dumb little saw is still at the point that I would not think of sharpening it. And yes I understand if you all think I'm smoking somethig--and my son keeps telling me that I don't need to tell him again how surprised I am with how sharp the chain is staying. I think I filled the tank 9 times so far.. Go figure. It seems to have decent power for its size also.
By the way I did tell my son to get a Poulin unless he thought a different name brand was worth the extra money. I admit I was a little upset that he spent $269.00, but I had to get started and did not have time to exchange for a cheaper saw. It may fly to pieces tomorrow, but I must say I'm very impressed so far. So maybe tearing out road ditch trees with a trackhoe isn't all that bad.

After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
