  1. Afternoon folks. My first post on here so please be gentle and patient with me... I lay hedges and have found my 210 to be on it's last legs this last season. It's been perfect for my needs as I rarely cut anything over 6 inches but can if it has to. The main things are that it must start on the first pull, allways. I only use the saw for maybe a minute at a time (if that) but I calculated the other day that I start it probably more than 200 times a day. This last winter it's started having niggles wich annoy me. All are/were quite easy to fix but I need the thing to just work, no questions asked! So I come to the point (at last) should I replace it with a 211 or a 240 (or even a 260?) Is there any difference in the starting of those, and given the circumstances it has to work in would I really benefit from a "pro" saw? I do not really need the extra power but as long as it comes without too much weight it won't be in the way(?) Also, on my 210 I sometimes fit a 10" carving bar if the hedge is awkward, would this be ok to go on a 240/260? Thanks, all feedback is apreciated (well, nearly all anyway...)
