semi pro saws- any good ones out there?

[Old WoodChip]

I do have an old 254xp under the bench which could be pressed into service, but will probably need a bit spent on it- mainly carb issues. just though it might be worth getting a new hassle free saw, it will be used quite a bit in practise so I don't want some gutless plasticky rubbish. Just hate seeing my decent saws lying around in the mud when fencing.

 

Great saw, money spent on servicing that would be money well spent.

Have a word with Spud:thumbup: it will be like a new saw

stihl battery saw all the way from the sounds of what you want it for.

Love mine to bits.

not the same power as a petrol one but fantastic for fencing and bits here and there

No one would ever steal a saw that puke green colour I reckon

 

Getting spares would be hard though maybe.

I know what you mean, But in general any saw I have with me when doing fencing/coutryside work gets a hard time, starting of by rattling around in the pickup with the spades and mattocks then stopping /starting whilst shaping up struts, cut a load of scrub then left on the ground whilst I clear it with the machine. (alway a chance of being run over too!)

I know I could take more care of it, but thats exactly why I wanted a cheapie- so I don't have to!

I'l try and see how much it'll cost to repair my 254xp, failing that, il demote my 357xp and that'll give me a nice excuse to buy a sparkling 550xp to replace it:thumbup1:

 

Thats what there built for there going to get knocked about more in tree work than other work imo or at least mine do.
