Small, light & reliable chainsaw

Any advice welcome. My father in law is an 83 year old farmer, he is finding the husky 346xp I gave him too heavy and is looking for a lighter saw, he had a Stihl 181 which he liked as lighter but unfortunately it was likely stolen (he thinks!). Any other suggestions to max £250? Not for very heavy work, I have a 346xp (Spud modded)and 372xp that does the majority of what we need.

 

Many thanks

Thanks for all the replies, all very much appreciated.

The Husky 135 certainly cheap (he will like that), are they ok, surely not Swedish made at that price?

 

I can't fault my 135 after the initial problem of the oil pump drive sticking on the crank and causing it to run the chain constantly. I cured it years ago just by rubbing the inside of the drive with wet and dry and greasing it liberally. They are now onto the 135 mk2 and at £168 they are a bargain. You could go even cheaper and get him a 120 for £125
