Cheap top handles

Looking to buy a cheapo top handle saw, no doubt it will be chineese, I currently use my ms200 for fencing work and I feel I'm destroying a good expensive saw. The cheapo saw will be used only for cutting posts , tree roots etc. Any recommendations? I don't really want to spend much more that £100 , so it really will be the bottom end of the market . Ive only ever bought stihl and I'm not expecting the build quality to be anywhere near them.

I've got a Chinese top handle, had it a couple of years and just put a carb kit in it. It does the job for £80, carb was going out of adjustment all the time and the plastic feels fragile but not actually broke anything off it yet. I'd like something a bit bigger than 25cc but not keen on spending a fortune for what little use it gets.

A Kia will get you to the same place as a Rolls, but which would you rather drive?

 

But would you drive your rolls over a ploughed field, ive got a few rolls (stihls) , but I'm after a cheap crap saw for cutting fence post with nails in , and burying it in the ground cutting roots.

maybe a second hand 192 with the spark arrestor removed is a good option

As with the 020/ms200 etc they get stupid money for a saw you don't know the history of, most top handles are bought by pukker tree surgeons and are totally knackered after a couple of years.
