    That's what attracted me in the first instance, this thing nearly fits in the palm of my hand, the weight in the tree is going to be nearly unnoticable

    Obviously it's smaller but it's about the right tool for the job. A ferrari has a smaller engine than a unimog, each has a different purpose, doesn't mean you'd not drive the ferrari! I have a 200 for most days, I refuse to buy a 201, based on the dozen or so I've tried and nearly thrown out of the tree. On a nice reduction or deadwood with lots of space and swinging, I don't want my 200 clattering about with me. Also, the 150 is nearly 200 quid cheaper than a 201.

    Have you tried one? Problem is, the 201 isn't man enough to spend the day with me:001_tt2:

    Weighs next to nothing, I think it's about half the weight of a 200.

    So, I picked mine up this morning and have had a little play with it. First thing that got me was that despite it's size, it seems as solidly made as the older generation of Stihl's. It isn't plasticy and gimmicky, which is what I've thought of the other smaller, newer models, 180/181, 201, 261 etc. Despite it being intended for smaller diameter material, I've just wound it into some 10" knotty sycamore, and with a gentle touch, it zipped through no bother. The power is there when you want it and gone when you don't, unlike the 201t:sneaky2:. So all in all so far pretty chuffed. Monday it'll be out to work so I'll give it a proper road test. Anyone else got one yet? What do you think to it?

    Nice one, you won't regret it. I run aspen in all my saws bar the 200t. It's well worth it if you're doing any milling or cutting in confined/less well ventilated areas Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    <p>I use a 5m with a hitch and pulley, negates the need for a cut away, with 5m you can cut the hitch and pull slack, plus i've been on a lot of poles that 3m isn't big enough! I don't much like soft links as it defeats the object of a wirecore. I haven't heard good things about wirecore and art positioners, but i don't know much about the cinch.</p>

    Both. I've always got a wee plastic one in my pocket, combine plastic and hi lifts for felling depending on weighting/kerf size Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Thought we'd ruined the thread there for a minute. What are the the chances that'll work though Stephen? If you did that round here there'd be big trouble... Got any trees you'd recommend? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    I wouldn't bother mate, you've got a pink one, and now an unwanted black one, so four orifices plugged should do you Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    So the problem lies with rotation on a couple of them, keeps coming up as read only but the others are fine. Here are a couple, you'll just have to turn your head:001_tongue: The others have corrupted files but I can see them on my phone and pc, just can't save them on the pc:confused1: Look carefully in pic 4 and you can make out Adam in the sweet chestnut

    At that distance I reckon we'd have to gain permission first
  25. Dan Curtis
    I've got pics in the top of you mate but there's something weird going on with the files, I'll try again and see what happens
