[Joe Loggs]

Mine is slow on pick up but when it's really hot it's not to bad, could do with a tune.

Bloooooooomin cracking little saw

 

Reduced 3 cherry trees this morning and doubt the 200 will see alot of use in future unless im dismantling a tree. its like the love child between a 200 and a silky

Another convert to the tiny topper club!

 

They are a refreshing little saw to use Pat,get half a gallon of fuel through it & it gets a bit faster.

The lag seems to improve with use, I only used a couple of tank fulls today but im sold on the little topper.

I do find that I have to keep an eye on chain tension.

its an awesome MEWP saw too, where space and weight is at a premium.

 

Its about time my commission cheque from stihl turned up:001_rolleyes:

Just picked up mine this morning off the back of the feedback you guys have been giving about it! I cant wait for work on Monday

Friday I reduced a conifer hedge, the entire job was done with the 150, no need for the 200 plus silky plus secateurs the 150 has such a fine cut and is so exact I flew through it in no time, now looking forward to mondays hedge reduction

First day using it. The weight is just stupid, you cannot feel it in the harness! Also, it's so light you can use it with a sawpod

That does look like a lovely saw to use. And the Sawpod idea is a neat little trick with the locking scabbard. I have an old 020 top handle (ALL METAL!) and that thing is heavy to have on the harness. The 150 does interest me.

 

One question. I know that a CS 39 ticket is required to buy a top handle saw but I am currently studying a level 3 Arboriculture course at college and I am training for all of the basic tickets (30, 31, 38, 39). Would I be able to buy one in these circumstances or would I need to have the ticket.
