Have been very impressed with my 241 since new 5 years ago. Yeah it's autotune but that hasn't presented any problems.

Don't ignore the Echo and Dolmar ranges. Plenty of threads/info on the forum.

Stihl ms211, a bit of toy as it's not a pro saw as such, very light, good for use in hedges or turning your back on by the chipper or in back gardens processing up a bit without the worry of a more expensive saw, mines had alot of hammer over the past two year and no problems what so ever. Perhaps a solution perhaps not.

I have a 18" bar on a 560. I use a Stihl 181 with a 14" the majority of the time unless logging.

Husky 560 = 5.7kg

Stihl 181 = 4.3kg

It doesn't sound much but it makes a difference.

When you say a " back up saw " do you mean something to use at the chipper or are we talking forestry . If its a chipper saw then any of the little saw mentioned above . If its a " back up saw " for the woods then another pro saw similar to the one you use all day . Thats my thinking .

yes, just a little saw to use on dirty timber, something that's a little lighter and easier to throw around than the 560... won't be used in the forest, unless the 560 is down!!
