Not so worried about weight as such, I imagine that any saw suited to a 12in bar will be light enough, but would especially like easily started as the nature of the work will be very starty/stoppy, plus while I'm still pretty strong the advancement of years and old injuries means that the quick snap required by some saws is getting increasingly dragging.

 

If you want easy start, press a button?

Shame about the adversity to stihl, an ms200 is about the lightest high power small saw made for 12 and 14 inch bars I can think of.

Is there any particular reason for that?

 

Thanks.

Gives you extra reach saves bending saw feels more balanced, ergonomics etc

 

Can be useful to have that length to cut mutiple stems all together @ base of hazel stools.
