I'd be very tempted. Used to have one of the little Echos until I dropped a gate post on it:001_smile:

 

As for trawling a 200 about all day then friday was a killer for me. Spent all day on big sycamore reductions and the weight of the saw outstretched put me in pain each time I picked it up. That's down to ruptured ligaments in both arms. Maybe if I hadn't spent the last 35 years abusing my body up trees with overweight saws then I'd feel far fitter now.

 

The moral is: if you can use a lighter saw then use one:001_smile:

Mine comes on Monday, i have used small light saws for reuction work before and they make suck a differance. 200t's are good but for small work these are great.

Sorry to hear that mate. This does pick up the ergonomic point well. How many people are switching to srwp and other more efficient systems to save their bodies? Hundreds if not thousands globally, so why should using smaller, more lightweight saws be any different?

 

Work smart, not hard.:001_cool:

No I want France to lose, they're unbearable in triumph.

What does that mean? (the last bit)

I do fancy a 150. Was going to save up for a 201 but I think I'll rebuild a 200 and get a new 150 when I can afford it. In reality, at least 50% of my aerial work could be done more comfortably with a 150.... Looks a lovely little saw. And not bad at all power wise, only just behind my tanaka which is similar cc to a 200, and that pulls a 14" bar ok if it's kept sharp....
