MS200esque saw

[rcarolina]

Am now allowed to carry out basic aerial saw work. I need a saw that can be used aloft but also on the ground. Would have liked an MS200 but understand these are no longer available. Would only be small limbing work and dead wooding - any suggestions?

Cheers,

Its the 338xpt in rear handle form. Fast nimble and rather well blanaced. I tend to use my 13" 346xpg in the tree since the 200t broke. The 346 is a bit big for smaller stuff but thats what handsaws are for its also the best groundsaw for limbing up and reasonable size felling.

I use a 200 rear handle a lot,cracking saw,wonder why they stopped them.

Echo do a rear handled version of their topper,that would be ok.the 350wes .

I ofter use an MS250 with a 14" bar it the tree. Well balanced with plenty of power.

Thanks Peeps - I did consider the Husky 339xp. Looks pretty robust and a rear handled version of an arb saw is probably for us.

 

Incidentally I used an MS211 at my old job - didn't rate it - thought it was poorly made and under powered. Just my opinion obv but thought Stihl could do better.

 

Saw the Stihl Rep at the Jonesie show and he couldn't really come up with a reason for the MS200 being scrapped.
