Hi all,

 

Just wanted to try and get a picture of what people mainly run these days, I'll go first - climbing still with the old faithfull 200T, MEWP work with 200T or Stihl 261 (nice and light), ground work and regular felling work with Stihl 362 and large felling with Stihl 660, I;m afraid I'm not a big Husky fan after my last 346XP crank broke.

 

Look forward to seeing whats in your toy box.

I have a 10+ year old MS260 which I've had from new and is still totally reliable and a pleasure to use, have 14 and 16 inch bars for this. Also have a 460 with 20 & 25 inch bars and a few stihl top handles in various states of rebuild. Using a tanaka top handle at the moment but the long term plan is to get one of the MS200T's rebuilt to 'as new' condition and use that. There's also an 025 on the shelf as well which doesn't get a lot of use these days but still runs very well.

Oh, I'm with you, the power is 3.5kW at 9.6kRPM, as opposed to the ms362 @ 3.4kW @ 10kRPM, no idea on torque
