Saw for a small woodland

[doobin]

Whats she sitting on, doesnt look too comfortable

 

I thought it was a shop dummy when I Google Image'd it, but apparently that thing is indeed a real live person

I had thought about Dolmar but I'm not sure where the nearest dealer is in North Devon?

 

I've asked Echo and it seems you just need the one service after 24 months to get the guarantee. I'm waiting on a confirmation so don't quote me.

 

As for the other comments I'm not overly bothered about speed, or colour. Safety, ease of use and reliability yes.

 

i have refreshed the dolmar thread so you can see the dolmar chainsaw that should be suitable small woodland works :thumbup:

Either shes sitting on a very uncomfortable stool (or Sthil) or shes not going to threaten Kate Moss too much

Thank you, I'll have a nose through that thread tomorrow.

Indeed, this one appears to have put the white powder all over her body rather than up the customary orifice

 

Way too much concealer.

Way too much concealer - more Marilyn Manson than Marilyn Monroe

Eh? Hairy arsed tree surgeons complaining about a bird wearing too much makeup? You'll be painting your nails next!

Just try visit a dealer and pick up and feel the saws as what suits one man wont always feel right to another.

 

Good advice. I picked up a Stihl MS211 and it seemed to handle fine but felt a bit 'cheap' for the price, the MS231 seemed to have a bit more quality but for a novice felt heavier than I expected even though it was only 0.6 kg heavier.

 

I'm now wondering if I should get a smaller saw now and when I'm used to using one I'll have a better idea of what to look for in a larger saw. I could do with seeing how the smaller Echo's feel.

I bought a Husqy 135 earlier this year for brashing, snedding and felling small stuff, but find myself now using it on larger and larger trees, remember you can fell up to 2.5x bar length once you've been taught how. 40cc for £180 and 2yr warrantly for non-pros is pretty hard deal to beat. The only issues I've had with it have been my own fault for sticking cheap fuel in it . However distance to local dealer was key as well.

How easy is it to start the 135?
