Looking for a pro-saw for coppice work

[Bear]

i`ve got my self a MS200 with rear handle, excellent power to weight ratio, very light and brilliant doing coppice work. Im currently doing coppice work with it on sweet chestnut and finding it a good little saw.

The MS200 was a good little saw, Stihl have discontinued it now . I managed to get the last lot they had but they have all gone now.

Your joking, one of my favorite saws!

We work 357,s every day great saws i also have a 346 xpt cant fault either.

A 346xp it is then, thanks for the advice.

ms 260 all the way got two of them brilliant allrounder but i am sure husksy are as good as

346xp IMHO, a worthy successor to the 242xp. May be worth checking out the Jonsered equivalent - basically the same saw but a bit cheaper. I do a helluva lot of coppicing, and you can't beat a Husky on the small saws.

hopefully i'll be able to get one for carving before all the stock runs out....

Good decision mate! It is worth investing in heated handle bars aswell....

i have a 346xpg, that i bought second hand, its a great little saw, heated handle is great on it, i have fiddled about with mine and opened up the exhuast on it, i have a thread on here somewhere how i did it, but mine is the 46cc version not the newer 50cc, and even so it has a 15" bar and will handle oak half that size again without any bother, i have a 372xp and whilst the power is awesome its not a coppicing saw mine normally runs a 24" bar

 

I bet once you start to use it, you will not use the 290 much after that even for firewood
