smallest lightest chainsaw you can buy?

[Stevie777]

Hi,

 

What's the smallest lightest petrol chainsaw out there. I've seen a couple of very small saw but all older pre 95 models without the safety features of modern saws. So what's available on todays market.

 

I need small and light as i will be hiking in a few miles and out carrying wood.

One of the little Echo top handles I would say

Yeah, just noticed the cs 2511 tes...looks ideal.

Back handle something like the Echo CS-281 WES, 26cc and 3.1kg dry weight. If it's wood small enough to carry a bow saw might be a good idea, lighter than a chainsaw.

As you're walking in/out I'll assume you won't be carrying climbing gear? So as above, CS-281WES, comes with an appropriate size bar too.

 

Tanaka TCS 33EDP has a bit more power and comes in at 3.7kg.

 

Also look at the battery saws, Husky 120i 3kg book figure (does that include battery?).

 

If you're only cutting small quantities then a Silky or Samurai will save you plenty of weight.

No climbing gear, but will have rucksack with chaps and visor and added wood pile on way out. I'll only need the fuel in the tank, possibly even a half tank. just a few quick cuts and i'm outta there. About 4 miles in total. Might take a bite of parachord just to bundle up limbs.

I have a bow saw, but need to cut some 8-10 limbs. Just 1" thick slabs for bases and i would like to at least gather around 15 or so to save me from another journey.

150 back handle is awesome

I take an electric battery saw for smallish jobs above the hand saw limits.

Bar off and in the rucksack.

Not sure of weight, about 3-4kg with battery.

No exhaust in yer face.
