Hi all i have a 450e and a ms170 what are your thoughts on these saws please

[Dan Earp]

Very limited to what u can do with a 170 bud, but why do u ask? And what will you be using them for? Felling snedding etc

[chipper080]

The ms 170 with 12" bar was got for hedging and the 450e was a felling saw i have got 15" bar on it and was wondering what you guy's think about them as i haven't seen anyone else using 450e and not many using ms170

The only time ive seen a 170 is in a shop and at college when a lass bought one cos a 260 was too heavy lol. Ive had a go on a 440e running a 18'' bar but would say that was pushing it and to be brought down to a 15/16'' bar.

As for me if it wasnt in the prof product range i wouldnt give them much thought. Good luck though

Yeah 450 will cut a few trees down, used a 35cc to fell up to 3' wide so it shouldn't be a problem, it's not a pro saw, so don't expect it to fly through trees, or last long if you thrash it. As for the ms170 I assume its for light pruning and hedge laying, isn't up to much else

i have a ms170 to keep near the chipper for a saw just in case you need to trim up the od bit

I am not a pro worker but working to get better at the work.
