New small saw

[Gary24]

Looking to get a new small saw ready for hedging season,wondering what anybody recommends,i have all huskys at moment.

[stihlmadasever]

Husky 135,just got 1 myself,14" bar 2hp sub 200 quid.

Cant beat that

[Gary24]

Yeah seen em for 187 quid good buy i reckon

[stihlmadasever]

Yeah im on my 2nd tank of fuel and its pickin up now.

From what ive been told by others on this forum its a great little saw for odd jobs,small fells,logs,hedges etc

Think its pretty much in comparison to the stihl 181 but 60 notes cheaper.

Search for the thread "husky 135" by myself for other guys contributions

I use the 135, and the Stihl 181 at work.

 

I still own a MS211 (first saw I bought).

 

I much prefer the Stihls. The starting is much better, the Husky is temperamental at best. Better cutting gear as standard on the Stihls too.

 

£60 over a few years is nowt really.

 

I'd go for the 211. On a sharp chain the 14" bar copes well. On 12" it's like a 200t

Echo CS310ES on a 12" or 14" bar - cracking little saw and £166 from Radmore and Tucker - fast delivery too

Ive used a 211,jwas just a couple of months old with a 14"bar,didnt like the power to weight ratio.I81/180 are great little saws defo recommend an older 180.

To each his own i suppose

Hmm.

 

The Stihl weighs 4.3kg and has a power output of 1.7kW

The Husky weighs 4.4kg and has 1.5kW
