Husky 550xp powerful and lightweight!

[mike1987]

thanks i had looked but dismissed it straight away mainly because of weight 5.3 kg and partly on price i wasnt sure if somthing like a ms18 (4.3) would be up to the job or a ms201 (also4.3)

I use a 201 got good power and light especially when walking about

Old style MS230 with 14" bar

Was going to say 560xp on a 15", but you turned down the 550 due to weight. Throttle response and reach are as important as weight in my opinion...and nothing spins up the way the 560,does. and it sounds nice when you're hearing it blipping away all day, but then I am biased

[Stubby]

Doubt you would find one now but I will say it any way 242 on a 13"

Did 7 winters on the rhodies, about 35 acres of the stuff. Stihl 023 was my weapon of choice, lovely little saw for the job.

Rhody is a bane. It is one of the main reasons I ported my 241. It's hard stuff, and we have mature rhodie all over this estate I work.

Cut and burned rhodies for a couple of months in the summer. Sick of the sight of them. I used my ms362 and my 200t for them. They coped well.
