Husqvarna 445 vs Poulan Pro 967061501

This 45.7 cc, 2.8 hp chainsaw comes with a 20" bar capable of handling all the medium-duty jobs you might come up with. Apart from regular trimming, pruning, and firewood cutting, it will also easily cut up to 20" wide trees. It's perfectly suitable for non-professional household and rural work.

It boasts plenty of premium features for its price tag. The X-Torq technology it uses helps make the unit efficient and reduces fuel consumption. The inertia-activated chain brake automatically detects the dangerous kickbacks and stops the chain. Finally, the spring-based vibration dampers minimize operator's muscle fatigue.

This chainsaw is built from premium-quality plastics, composite materials, and very tough metals. It feels sturdy and professional.

You can use pretty much any available bar length between 13" and 20". This greatly increases the versatility of the saw.

Apart from regular domestic tasks, such as firewood cutting, pruning, and trimming, this chainsaw can also deal with more substantial jobs, like medium diameter (3 ft) tree cutting.

For just under $200, you’ll get a reliable medium-duty chainsaw with all the essential features you might need and even a few extras, like an anti-vibration handle.

Due to its powerful 50cc engine, this tool is capable of performing cuts up to 40 inches in diameter.

The starter system is spring-assisted, which reduces the amount of force usually required to start a chainsaw (especially if the tool is cold).
