first saw?

[mick flanagan]

hi all,

 

im looking to buy my first saw soon. im currently working in a factory as after leaving the army at the beginning of the year i could not find a job doing tree work so i dont have a huge budget so will have to be a second hand one!

could anyone recomend a good saw for around £200? i know this is probably a big ask but....

i want it for general purpose work, mabye some climbing hopefully!

 

thanks for any suggestions!

 

Mick

 

P.S if anyone knows of any jobs going in the south yorkshire area please let me know!

 

Cheers again!!!

if u can find one a rear handled stihl ms200 (not the ms200t) or a 346xp (with the silver clutch cover)

if you can stretch to another £50,you could get a used husqvarna 346xp

which is a smashing little saw

hi sell some of your GUCCI KIT and get your self a 346xp.

£200 = Stihl 026 in reasonable condition - good ground saw

£250 = Husqvarna 346 (45cc)

£300 = hUSQVARNA 346 (50CC) SILVERSIDE!

 

There are others - Husqvarna 350, 345, Stihl 024 but may be a little less desirable.

 

If you are going to climb, a top handle MS200T or less costly 020T Stihl but don't even think about using one unless you have received training!

Bit rare IMO - good for parts exchange if you run an MS200T but rare, rare,rare!

Worth a look if you can get hold of one though!
