good large rear handled climbing saw ?

[Will C]

I use a 441 with upto a 25" bar when the husky 540 runs out of bar. I used a mates 362 the other day with a 18" in, that was a nice saw

A 660 is not too heavy if the size of the pieces you want to cut off are big enough to need a 660. Same with an MS880 or husky 3120, if thats the size of saw you need for the task then thats what you use.

 

For smally trees use a smaller saw, its not rocket science.

 

All back handle saws a good for climbing if you need a something bigger than an ms200/201.

 

I personally go from ms200t to ms660, not much point messing about with much else in between. ms460 maybe.

 

Ditto

357 is a nice size too

Ms 460 for me.....ms362 for smaller stuff, ms660 only if required

cheers Matty

441 for normal with 18" , then 460 with 25" when the bar runs out on the 441 but if I'm blocking big wood it's the 66 with the 30" or 88 with 36"

I usually go from top handle to either a 441 with 20" or the 461 with a 25" depending on who I'm working for (the 461 only comes out on my own jobs, 441 is the Monday to Friday saw) much prefer the 461

[jrose]

Top handle, 550 if sectioning lots of 15" stuff, then 365 with 20", anything more and its the 660

[monkeyallan]

461 or 660 for me. 880 too numb up the tree imo.

For many years I only had an 020 and 66, in recent years I've had a 460, its a cracking saw, don't use my 66 much these day, although its a fantastic saw when needed.
