Is this not the 150 you are on about?

[mapletreecare]

yea sorry ive changed the heading now!! it is the 150 iam on about chap

[18 stoner]

Lol!

 

I think there was someone on here who had the rear handle mate, and were very chuffed with it so far. (cant remeber the thread it was on though!)

 

If it packs a punch in its own wee way, it'll be a belter for those little pruning jobs:thumbup:

yea weve just got a contract for a 280 limes to reduce soo thought it would be ideal for that! but dude to how the 201 been iam unsure swear by my orignal 200t perfer that all day everyday

Have you had your 201 retuned and checked over?

 

If they are not running spot on it makes a huge difference.

I tested a 150 back handle for my local saw shop to see what it was like as a detail carving saw and it wasnt great. its very under powered and vibrates like hell on low revs. it also sounds very tinnie. the only thing it has going for it is its super light.

well it is 25cc to be fair, isnt ment to be powerful or sound attractive

So it's cheap, light and underpowered like the 192 why bother?

Sub 200t I'd go for an Echo.
