Small, low vibration chainsaw?

[Bill C]

I run a old Stihl MS180 with a Stihl 14" bar and the Pico micro 3/8" x 0.043" low pro chain if kept sharp!! it cuts very well. On a MS181 I suspect it would be even better, the 180 is a light easy to handle saw, parts and running costs are cheap.

I do have a small battery saw, the Aldi 40v. It's surprisingly good for logs up to 7" ish - I used it for coppicing and small to medium logging and it's quite impressive for cost and ease of use. I also have a mains Titan electric saw, which again does a surprisingly good job on bigger stuff, as long as there's a plug in reach.

I need (want maybe) another petrol saw, bigger but not too big. Did consider the einhell 36v saw, but don't think it's quite up to the job.

I've got the Einhell 36v and it works very well for me as an emergency saw if a tree drops across one of the rides or I'm doing some coppice type stuff. Would not recommend it as a firewood saw but it's great for tucking behind the pickup seat for that odd job, saves carting a petrol saw and fuel.

Husky 120 is looking quite tempting, unless anyone has bad things to say about it? Cheap and low vibration, seems powerful enough... Not professional I know, but nor am I!

Thanks for all the input 👍

Let me know how you find it if you go for it!

Got the 120 manual, and discovered the vibe levels are 3x as high as the husky website says! Seems they're wrong, and husky will update them. Arse.

I'd send it back in that case.

I downloaded the manual to look something up, saw the vibe levels were wrong. Luckily I've not ordered it yet.

Cheers Joe! What's wrong with it? Besides being wank. And vibratey.
