FWIW I have the first saw I ever bought a Poulan S-25 in the mid 70's plus a McCulloch PM 610 in the early 80's .They still run well .I used both of those saws for around 8-9 years when I sold firewood .Fact just last week I gave the little Poulan a run and it did just fine .

 

 

Now neither one of those saws see much action these days because I have many much better saws but the fact remains they could still be pressed into service if they were needed .

Logger´s in New Zealand,especially Skiddy´s (people who trim and cut logs to length) would get about a year from a saw.

 

Running 8 Hours a day,using up to 20L of Fuel a day.

 

You used to get "Chainsaw allowance" a non taxable payment that was used to buy parts and Bars.It was about 150% the cost of a new saw over a one year period.

 

Back in MYYYYYYY day!!
