First Impressions of the 150T

[MATTMOSS]

I have the Husky T425, must be very similar in comparison to the stihl 150?

handy little saw for small pruning jobs, hedges etc.

I'll be using my for everything except take downs...201T with a 14" bar for that. This little saw boxes well above its weight and I haven't tried any smallers saws that come close to it.

I was looking for specs on the t425 but its not for sale on jonesies... bit gutted. Was going to compare and price etc... think the t425 was only 200 odd inc vat?

I haven't noticed any probs with vibration..no more than anyother top handle. The 201T is better than average though.

Was it sharp/well maintained? I find mine to be great for the right kinda job,

but always make sure its razor sharp etc.

 

Im not saying these little saws are the be all and end all, but they do have there uses.

I've now given the 150 a proper testing. It's still a ripper in harder wood. The cutting speed in larger wood is marginally slower than a 200, so it's not going to replace it for dismantles, but for reductions, deadwood etc, it's fantastic. It feels fairly low vibration wise and has very responsive throttle control. I generally step and chuck everything, for which the 150 is awesome. A couple of quick blips of the throttle and you're ready to grab. It's nimble and light in the tree and doesn't snag when moving around.

I have found my 150t loosened up after about 8 tanks or so of fuel,(I use aspen),it is a little screamer.

File size is small at 3mm.
