Smallest top handle-recommendations.

[leafcut]

Hi all, spent the whole day yesterday reducing four TPO sycamores, things were so crowded up top and a lot of the branches quit thin that other than on three occasions did I resort to use my 201. The silky paid for itself but I would have been done quicker if I had access to a really small petrol top handle. I need to know which manufacturers make them and what you lads would recommend. Something quite light and nifty and not as cumbersome as the usual tops, thanks in advance...Nick Pearson, Timberline-Roe Ltd.

Is that a top handle?

I would go for the stihl 150t,the best small topper out there,simples.

 

The echo is good,the makita just about ok. But the best is the 150t.

Stihl MS200T

A friend of mine who subbies for a few local tree surgeons has a MS200T with a carving bar on it. We swears by it for doing the thinnings/reductions. He uses a carving bar on his MS200 for coppicing work.
