The Poulan 178085 is a highly regarded chainsaw known for its durability, efficiency, and ease of use. Designed primarily for homeowners and light-duty commercial use, this model stands out for its impressive balance between power and user-friendliness. Whether tackling tree trimming, firewood cutting, or general yard maintenance, the Poulan 178085 delivers reliable performance.

Additionally, its easy-start technology ensures that the chainsaw can be fired up with minimal effort, making it accessible even for those who may be new to using chainsaws.

The chainsaw boasts a 16-inch bar, which provides an optimal cutting length for most home and garden applications. This ideal size strikes a balance between maneuverability and cutting capability, allowing users to cut through branches and logs efficiently.

To further enhance safety, the Poulan 178085 includes a chain brake feature that stops the chain in the event of kickback. This critical safety mechanism is a vital addition for both novice and experienced users, providing peace of mind while operating the saw.

In terms of maintenance, the Poulan 178085 features an automatic oiling system that keeps the chain lubricated during cutting, ensuring a longer lifespan for both the chain and bar. This feature reduces the need for manual lubrication, making it more convenient for users.

In summary, the Poulan 178085 is a versatile and reliable chainsaw equipped with a powerful engine, a well-designed bar, and a range of safety features.
