there designed for small pruning work ie fruit trees ,if you boys are going to use them in inplace of ms200/201,s there not going to last now ,are they just use them for what there designed for

 

I've only done one dismantle, it's tougher than you give it credit for! And besides its a chainsaw, it's what they're designed for, cutting trees down, not cutting twigs off

I have had mine since the end of june and it is back to the dealer for the third time with an oiler problem, the last time it was in the shop it got a new pump only a month and a half ago. now its the same old story again with the saw, this is a good heads up to anyone with the ms150t that might have the same oiler problem, the pumps don't seem to be great, still a great saw when working.

 

just a short video

Did you clean the tank out with petrol?? Mine gave me a lot of grief in the first few months but touch wood has not played up in a while.

i tried everything before the first oil pump was changed but i am just going to let the dealer take care of it now, what sort of problems did you get from yours MattyF?

its a shame because when its working its fantastic

Doing that cured mine.

Hope it's cured this time!

Mine is a rear handle and it soft fell out side door of transit connect, landed flat on my boot and floor and case is cracked only minor . Used it twice, Nothing serious but couldn't believe that after such a short drop it cracked. Used a mix of superglue and arreldite to seal.

Brilliant for snedding, pruning and used it to fell mature cherry.

Both of ours have had the top handle crack like the one above, once prob due to abuse by a climber having a tiz and the other when it fell when the tool clip broke.

 

Not as robust as other saws but didn't expect em to be .

What is its competition on the market? I really like the lightness
