Two Poulans, a 14" and 16" does everything I need to do around our place.
How many chainsaws?

One 42 year old Stihl 028 that has bucked a lot of wood over the years, especially the seven years we only had wood heating. And one electric pole saw for trimming trees around our property. I don't think I'll collect any more. Long past time I hung up my belt and spikes for good.
Stihl 16" 170 (I bought it mainly for our yearly trips to SW Colorado, and cutting 9 days worth of dead Aspen firewood, but use it at home for occasional trimming since it is so light).
Stihl 20" 028 AV Super (I bought new in 1987 or 88). My favorite to this day. I just bought a new chain for it last week.
Stihl 12” 101 16' extendable pole saw.
I have owned several other Stihls through my lifetime, 031, 041, 048... Also a couple Poulans years ago. Never again.

I'm a city boy, I only have one. But this reminds me of a story....
A number of years ago I bought a Huskivarna 55 farm chain saw. Really nice and I used it for about a year. I have a friend who is always doing stuff for other and often has trouble with his tools... he was headed up to N.C. to help (get paid) a guy clear off some land. He came by and told me this and that his chain saw was "in the shop" and could he borrow mine. I said sure and here is a new chain in case the one on it gets dull.... he brought my saw back the next week and said the chain I gave him did not fit and the local shop had to put one on. I noticed the bar looked like the paint had been worn off and the shop he had taken it to had put their sticker on it but I was in a hurry and just put the saw up on a shelf. 6 months later I take it down and start to gas it up... that's when I realize it is a Huskivarna 51!
Now here is the real good part about this story, I told it to an old geezer at church on a work day and he took me aside and gave me this advise: "Blume, a chainsaw is like a woman. You never loan it out because you will never get it back in the same condition as before."
