which would you get?

I picked up a Stihl 020AV at an aution recently. It had been converted into an Auger for fencing but with a good clean and a few quid for new parts, I've now got a working top handle saw! All the parts were a doddle to find even though it is such an old saw!

What about a makita top handle instead.

I'm using a Carlton (subsidiary of Oregon) Picco Micro pitch 3/8" LP.

Stihl 192 maybe? not used one myself but have heard good feed back on them in the past.

 

I have also herd the stihl 150 is a good pruning saw too.

 

It depends what you want out of it.

 

The 150 (10'' bar) is defiantly only a pruning saw! If you want something with a bit more poke then go for a 192 or an 200 (not a 201! imo)

 

If it's cheap your after & not full on pro then an echo will do the job nicely. They are well made saws with good power to weight ratio, but not quit built to the standard of the big names imo..

SOLO 637...bags of power and never skips a beat.
