Nice saw. I had to bring up some old pictures to confirm, but when you said the Garden Gate in Ann Arbor I rember I sold a 4200 a few years back with a sticker like that on it. That is my old saw. Glad to see it running. I just kept it on the shelf for parts for my other runner. Very nice!
i have collected homelite, mcculloch, and a few others; now vintage poulans are going crazy...so thanks for sharing these saws before i got a few in my stable., LOL...take care.
She’s nice. That’s one series I have never pursued for some reason. I like the Poulan high tops and the 2900, PP295,etc clamshells. They are good little saws.
They are very nice saws, I have one of the 50cc 50th anniversary 315s, pretty much a 295 with a bit bigger bore, and its an excellent little saw. The high tops are my jam, can't explain why I like em so much they are just awesome.
I have a 3400, two 4620's and a Super 25A. Your missing out on some fun with the old Braired Poulans. A Countervibe 3400 are always cheap, and always run, and at 13lbs isn't horrible. Mine pulls a 24 inch bar with a skip like it running a 20 inch bar, and you can cut standing up. 😁
Seems a little big. I have found a die grinder works great but I always look at the oiler slot and have found sometimes the oil hole is located to far to the outside of the bar. So I will grind/slot towards the center of the bar so it can pick up oil as it should.
@@dubbssawshopDo you see what mean by a smooth cutting saw? My XP266 is torque twisting, and almost unmanageable in tight spots. My 3400 is just so much more controllable with its power delivery. It's just so forgiving no matter what situation you're in, where the Husqvarna will try to cut your leg off if you're not on top of it every second. As for weight my 3400 with a 24 inch bar is 1lb lighter then the XP266 with a 20 inch, kinda sad because a extra pound lighter would make it on par with the saws we have today. Love the channel, keep up the great work.
I would say definitely stronger than the 3700 by a long shot, the 4000 would probably hang in some smaller wood but the 4200 would pull away in bigger wood, has a good bit more torque than the 4000.
@Eric Fuller 2800 is a great saw IMO, they are bare bore with a chrome plated piston. Same saw as the 3000 & 3300 just a bit smaller cc. But they run fairly well. I have one myself. 👍🏻

Sounds good. I like skip chain. You can make it pretty aggressive

vintage poulan all the way, nice 4200.
Thanks man. Definitely built to last
The sick part about those old Braired Poulans, it will probably cut faster with the bigger bar...lol. They pull harder, the more you give them.
You ain't kidding there. They don't start working until you lay on them. The amount of grunt they have is crazy. 👍🏻

I have a one. Not as clean but she is definitely torque monster.
👍
It'll handle full comp and a 8 pin rim no problem.
Runs like a real saw not one of the 1000 dollar wonders you have to re engineer and plug into a computer to make it go.
Nice sawrus funtime cutting wood 🪵 👌 😋
👍🆙D
Is it alot more powerful than a 3700 or 4000?

@@dubbssawshop isee also what are your thoughts on the 2800 poulan?

@@dubbssawshop i got a 7-10a mcculloch is the 4200 as strong as that?
I think im gonna wait on the big countervibe try to fond a 4900 or a 5200-5400
