I picked up a Paulan Pro at Home Depot last year to cut up a large elm that had fallen in my backyard. It was the most expensive saw they had there, so I thought it must be good enough for me. I wanted to get a decent one anyway for the new acreage and this fallen tree just sped up my purchase.

The saw was dead in 20 minutes and before I could even finish the job. I returned it and borrowed a friends husq the next day. The project was done in 20 minutes. I'll be spending a bit more for a quality saw when I buy the next one. Full day wasted. Lesson learned.
