Which Top Handle Chainsaw for use when Climbing

[Jamie Jones]

I am about to do my qualification in the 'Use of a Chainaaw from a Rope & Harness (Aerial Cutting of Trees with a Chainsaw using Freefall Techniques) and as a newbie I wondered what top handle chainsaw people use or would recommend. Looking for quality of build, reliability, ease of use and general performance in the tree.

All Advice Welcome...

Stihl 150T would be an ideal pruning saw to start with. Light,balanced and well built.[emoji106][emoji269]

Yep or the echo 2511. Have both, not picked up the stihl for a good while

The smaller Echos I would source a mini chain for, will zip through those lil branches, k
