decent semi pro saw

[clyde]

hi folks

 

looking for recommendations on semi pro saw for a elderly neighbour (old Forrester) mostly for cutting fire wood and occasional overhanging limbs, looking for something that is lighter, with good reliability, he has a budget of around £300-£400 any thoughts

You would get a very good second hand 346XP in that price range .......Thats a pro saw though but light ( relatively )

Makita worth a look but I dont know them, take care down the S/H route though, I wouldnt buy without testing as there are plenty of rouges on E-bay!

We usually have some lovely used 346xp silver side within his budget. They have done very little and have many years of life left

What sort of money are they making? After one myself!!

Before making recommendations, it should be esablished what size of saw it is about.

 

A £400 price limit likely will limit the options drasically, among the better semi-pro saws - but I don't have intimate knowledge of UK chainsaw prising.....

How old is your neighbour? If they're very elderly, you'll want a very light saw!

Would an electric saw be out of the question?

Should I duck now?

Those are not semi-pro saws, but high end homeowner saws.

 

The 353/2152 are excellent semi-pro saws in the 50cc class, as are the newer 545/2252.
