I inherited two chainsaws from my stepdad and only want to keep one - I’ll give the other to a friend.
1. Poulan Pro 295, maybe 18”?
2 McCulloch Mac 3516, maybe 14”
Which do I keep for occasional chores?

Neither of those are professional grade working saws. Sell them both and use the proceeds get a good used Stihl or Husqvarna 16"Originally Posted by HeavyDuty
Which one actually runs? Chainsaws seem to go to shit if they are not used regularly.
I’ll probably let them both go, then. Thanks!

You’d be better off picking up a rancher/farmer grade saw of recent vintage that you can get parts for and have some dealer support.
Or really for occasional suburban yard use or more an 18/20v battery saw for your current battery of choice.
Selling both probably wouldn't be a bad idea. I would go with an Echo, the CS-590 will do everything you want. Plus you get a 5 year consumer warranty.

Already gave them both away. Thanks, all!

In my younger years, when we were broke-ish, I owned both brands you listed.
The Poulan was just a POS. The McCulloch worked, only when it wanted to.
Since then, I have only run Stihl. An 020 that worked for close to 20 years, and now an MS170 for small jobs, and the MS291 for larger chores.
We run Husquavarna at work, I hate em.
"... And miles to go before I sleep".
Don't know. I quit trying to get my Poulan to work and bought a Stihl.
I still have Stihl 038 AV Super 1980s vintage. Runs well.
Also 020T, 044, MS 200, MS 660.
I like pro grade saws if you can afford it.
