@@VincesDIYs I see. I picked up an 09' one for 15 bucks at a garage sale and got her running last week (for approximately 5 dollars). I'd say a 20 dollar running chainsaw was a good investment, hahaha.
I think the old Poulan is a bit faster that’s my guess. That 5020 sounds pretty good. Is if really 180psi or was there just lots of oil on the rings? Sounds good.
I've been running saws for years and using the brake and have had no issues. Unless your revving the saw it's not gonna damage anything and any little wear is worth protecting your legs
24 inch is too long of a bar for that 3400. They do pretty good with a 20 inch bar and even better with a 18 or 16 inch bar. I have a 3400 myself they are solid units a little on the heavy side but that's to be expected as they are pretty much all magnesium with very little plastic. They are a professional grade chainsaw and run forever unlike the newer Harry homeowner poulan's. I also have a 4400 countervibe that was made around the same time as the 3400's and thats a whole different animal at 71 cc's fairly low rpms and chain speed but goobs and goobs of torque. I run 24 and 28 inch bars on my 4400 but I'd imagine it would do just fine with a 32 or 36 inch bar.
I agree. Would love to get my hands on a 4400 at some point. I just refreshed a 66cc Pioneer P41 and moved the 24” bar to it. Works much better - ruclips.net/video/7d2rSPIAVP8/видео.html
My 3400 has the original 20 inch guid bar with Oregon full chisel skip tooth. Does really well with that combination. 125psi sounds about right they were not a real hi compression saw. We have a ms170 as well. Its been a good little saw when used appropriately. Also it’s pronounced Pullan not Poolan 😉 ruclips.net/video/ZW3pO0XIX-o/видео.html
Nice commercial :) I recently got a 66cc pioneer and moved the 24” bar to it. It really pulls! I think if I used a skip tooth it would have done significantly better.
Love the old Green Machine 👍💪😎
Me too!
does the old one even have anti-vibration features or is it just stuck on
It does but it’s not as good as the newer one.

A porting tutorial. Pretty please
Sorry, that is beyond my skill set….

Sounds good.
180 is how it came. I was surprised!
Where did you find that clutch cover?

Way to bring 'er down nice and clean, and slice 'er up!
I try
Dont start saws with the chain brake engaged. Dont ever engage the chain brake unless testing its functionality. You will only cause damage.

Nothing erks me more than when I see someone start a saw and then start revving it up with the chain brake engaged.
Need to run an "18 bar on the Poulan 3400, will cut much better and faster. "24 is too much bar for it.
Agreed - just wanted a larger bar for cutting the big logs. Probably should order a skip chain if I keep running the 24" bar
I run 27 on my echo 620. And a 27 on my mac 10-10
@@Jv19979 I thought of getting a 36" for my Poulan 5400 but that gets kind of expensive. 18" works just fine, a little under size but works well.
A Poulan 3400 is a 56cc saw and when they came out new you could get them with a 30 inch bar.
My dad has a 16 on it 😉

Looks like the older poulan a bit quicker
It definitely has more torque.

@@VincesDIYs was the the P41 video you have?
@@jeschreindl yes. Should have some future ones with it.
@@VincesDIYs thats a sweet saw. I restored my dads old 89cc Pioneer NU-17. Runs .404 chain and is slow lol. I look forward to more videos of yours 👍🏻
Wow, those are quite old. Wouldn’t mind working on and using one of those some day.
Its pronounced like the country Poland only without the D on the end. Polan Poulan
Not here in Canada land.
