Stihl MS150 TC-E new tophandle

[18 stoner]

just wondered what people thought to it! yea the 201 been in to be serviced still no good! might try a huski topper

 

Serviced maybe, but has it been tuned? Run up hot with a tacho etc?

 

Out of curiosity what husky topper would you go for?

I quite fancy the 150. I saw a you tube vid of some Italians testing it and it seemed pretty powerful.

Been thinking about this and am of the opinion that we are barking up the wrong tree.

This saw is aimed at the more lucrative householder/small gardener market.

Put simply it's not meant for us as a professional tool. As such comparisons and criticisms are pointless. (and I have been guilty of just that)

Not true in the UK.

 

As it is a top handle saw, you need to be a "professional" to buy one:001_rolleyes:

Ive never been asked for tickets or know anyone in the UK that has been asked prior to purchase,ive heard it's meant to be like that but never seen it.

Yes, hence the....

 

It is the responsibility of your dealer to record your candidate number from your NPTC certs when purchasing a topper.

 

I believe Stihl UK have recently been tightening up on this, as they have a certain duty of care to ensure operators have the relevant experience/quals/PPE etc when selling a saw.

On a side note Paul, you know of one person who's been asked now, as our dealer has taken proof of quals for many years. I think they even keep a copy for future reference.

[Jonesie]

We try and take a copy of everyones certs. These are just the ones that have been faxed to us, we have aver 1000 emails as well.

 

 

 

If I know the person holds one we don't need to ask.

Good point! forgot about that:blushing: However you must remember that no such certification is needed here, indeed you can hire anything from a 200 to an 880 for the day from a countrywide hire chain. I cannot speak for the rest of Europe.

The UK is only one market.
