How do? I have been looking at getting a back handled saw for climbing with but I don't really want a 200 and was thinking of using something a bit bigger like a husqvarna 236! The main reason I have been thinking about a back handled saw is to improve my positioning up the tree! Any suggestions of saws or knowledge on the topic will be greatly appricated!

To be honest I wouldn't really get a 201 just because it's new and I know what to excoext with the 200s if that makes sense!

The 241 looks like a nice saw is it ergonomic as a husky or still have that sthil feeling of holding a box?

The 201 rear handle would be a great saw,its narrow & well balanced,and an asset on the ground too ,I have the older 200 rear handle,it is a lovely saw.

we use along with 200t a 211 and a 260 for general climbing saws. all great saws but i personally prefer the 260 its heavier but bit more power and feels alot more solid compared to the 211.:biggrin:

If you use a 260 as a general climbing saw, I'd suggest you invested in another topper.

 

I don't get this thread... Why make life harder for yourself? If you really want to do all this work positioning stuff (never use a saw one handed...) then just use both hands on the topper. It's called the arborist/climbing saw for a reason.

I climb with a rear handled ms 200 and use both 12" and 14" bars, not at the same time :lol: its a great saw, :thumbup:

Is a rear handled saw really the answer to your work positioning problems?

If you are having problems with positioning, it's you, not the saw. (no offence, just trying to save you £500)
