First Impressions of the 150T

[Dan Curtis]

Why get a 150? It's going to be gutless.

 

Have you tried one?

 

If your not strong enough to carry a 201 on your belt or use it all day well....

 

Problem is, the 201 isn't man enough to spend the day with me:001_tt2:

The 150 has a smaller engine, I looked at it briefly, the guy in the shop said it was not up to "elagage professional"

The gibe about weight is fair comment though, it's not difficult really to carry a 200/201 all day, any small increase is surely worth the extra power?

Obviously it's smaller but it's about the right tool for the job. A ferrari has a smaller engine than a unimog, each has a different purpose, doesn't mean you'd not drive the ferrari!

 

I have a 200 for most days, I refuse to buy a 201, based on the dozen or so I've tried and nearly thrown out of the tree. On a nice reduction or deadwood with lots of space and swinging, I don't want my 200 clattering about with me.

 

Also, the 150 is nearly 200 quid cheaper than a 201.

I'm considering buying one, the light weight is the most attractive feature IMO.

 

That's what attracted me in the first instance, this thing nearly fits in the palm of my hand, the weight in the tree is going to be nearly unnoticable

Ok your choice (obviously!) just passing time before the rugby:001_smile:

Is this what happens when someone moves to France - they become increasingly impertinent?

Noticed some of your other posts you try to be arsey for no reason.
