Default Chainsaw blade sharpened?

Using my Poulan "Wild Thing" chainsaw this weekend, and a lot of burnt wood

Don't recall the chain being so bad, but a new one --- on Amazon --- is $20.

My question is, is that the definitive answer of an unsharp chain? *Slow
cutting and burnt wood?

And, as a follow up, if I may, youtube showed me how to sharpen with a tool.
Doesn't look that hard, but if the tool is as much as a new chain, well, you
do the math.


Buy the tool once, sharpen the chain 20 times: $20
Buy 20 chains: $400
