Poulan has long been recognized as a reliable name in the outdoor power equipment industry, and their chainsaws, particularly the Poulan S1634 LE and S1838 LE models, are prime examples of this reputation.

The Poulan S1634 LE is designed for homeowners seeking a lightweight and efficient chainsaw for various cutting tasks. With a 16-inch cutting bar, it is well-suited for trimming branches, tackling small to medium-sized trees, and firewood preparation.

Both models come equipped with reliable safety features, including a chain brake that engages automatically in the event of kickback, providing additional peace of mind during operation. The easy-access air filter and tool-free chain tensioning system simplify maintenance and enhance overall usability, allowing users to keep their equipment in optimal condition with minimal hassle.

Furthermore, both chainsaws feature Poulan's reliable start technology, which utilizes a primer bulb and choke for quicker starts, minimizing downtime. The fuel-efficient engines of both models also help to reduce running costs, making them an economical choice for homeowners and occasional users.
