Down scaling

[Boggle4137]

Hi everyone

 

I use a saw from time to time but what I have at the minute (stihl ms290) is excessive for what I need. It's in tip top condition and all that but I really only ever use a saw for small garden trees. 

 

I'm not after a state of the art machine but neither something that's falling to bits either, I would just like advice on a smaller and sturdy stihl model please gents.

 

Thanks

No top handle, just something lighter to handle than the 290. Budget will be around the £200 mark for a decent second hand probably.

Am i reading right..... No you want a top handle? Think you might struggle finding a solid tidy one at £200 (stihl) you might av to be nearer £250. They go real quick when they come up. Where you based? Sure most and myself included will keep our eyes peeled [emoji106]

Don't think so, he said "No" to the top handle....

Sod the top handle, where can I get hold of the hottie, got lots of saws that need polishing

 

I think the OP said NO to wanting a top handle so it is a smaller ground saw I believe!
