What top handle saw?

[RichieR]

As I like to say to James which lopper would you like me to send up my 540 or your Stihl not not working?

[Macaulay]

Echo 2511 if u need anything bigger then ur 550 will sit on a strop nicely.

[RichieR]

Pfew for a moment I thought you were gonna say the echo concrete block ( 360) for a moment

Find yourself a 200t and have it rebuilt if necessary. You won't find a better top handle.

That said I'm loving my echo 2511 for small work.

Meh I had 5 200t's in my life, and now have an early 540 which i have used and abused for 3 years without issue, a lot of guys had 201's but as they became unreliable switched to 540's so for me it shows how good a saw it is, just don't handle it like a wrecking ball! Impulse pipe issues are common and the auto tune is fairly good so will keep a saw running if these split.

 

But as with all things we all have our opinion and often there is no real right answer.

Love my 540 but mainly use my 150, a lot lighter than the husky and if your learning you may find it easier with a light saw.

150 will cut full bar in most stuff

[AWarb00]

Stihl are the best

 

new 201t's are good, or a good condition 200t you will not beat.

I rate mine as well. 2 and a half now, only had 2 av springs and a worm gear for the oil pump in that time. Use it more than I should tbh (by chipper etc) only thing I struggle with is finding a decent bar as they all have grease points for the tip. Think stihl bars are much better than husky Oregon and sugi on that point.

You've quietly been trolling through Arbtalk patiently waiting for the day when you can cause me maximum embarrassment be revealing my sordid little secret that I actually enjoyed using a MS19... no I can't bring myself to say it in public
