stihl ms150 forestry saw

[WoodED]

the only stihl im interested in.. MS 150 C-E - Our smallest, lightest chain saw

any one seen 1?

[wisewood]

No but I'd really like to try one with a carving bar. Seems a bit pricey though IMO

[tree monkey]

nope looks handy tho.

wonder what size chain it uses

[WoodED]

tiny id imagine.. it only has a 22cc motor... would come in handy for reductions ect...

I like the idea of it, much like I like the idea of the tiny echo backhandle. Think it could be good for underbrashing/formative pruning/cleaning in young stands but can't help but feel they'd be a bit disapointing to use with tiny engines.

 

We've been using 242's a fair bit recently for that sort of work and think they'd take some beating. 550's good for heavier branched stuff and cleaning but it's a bit overkill for formative pruning.

Would like to see a top handle version of that! 2.8kg vs the 3.7kg of the 201t

There is a top handle 150. If you liked the 192T they may be for you. not me.

not over here there aint.. there should be tho... the 200t is way to big for most reductions...

They had em at APF, would have liked to try it out

Tested it today at local dealers, chewed through 8" sycamore log nicely, very light and pulled over easily, pity chain is 1/4 rather than 3/8
