Ms180

getting confused now its about a 180 not a 170 and earlier you said it does not give much sawdust on 1.3 guage chain if you have a 170 it should run on 1.1 and if that cut as fast as your 441 i would suggest sharpening your 441

and yes i do have a 170 i,m afraid to say and just to confuse even further mine runs on 1.3 which reduces the power even more This is an ideal saw for leaving in the shed and take a silky

 

You don't take much confusing Bob.

 

Simple typo, it is infact 1.1mm and mine is a 170

 

180/170 whats the difference??

 

They are also excellent for fine pruning work, they give a less raggy cut, I bet you use a 660 for pruning, cos the only pruning you see is at ground level.

i really like my 180, considering i didnt pay any money for it and instead reduced the price of a job in exchange. remember im not running a company, just need a nice light weight saw i can use both on the ground and up the tree in pruning work. so far using it its not struggles much when cutting up limbs on the ground, using it later in the tree today to see how it handles.

i had to use my 260 up a tree the other day cos my 200 has died and i am not in a psotion to replace it at the moment! work wouldnt take too kindly to me taking home one of theirs for the weekend jobs!
