I suppose you really need to look at what the main kind of work you undertake before you choose your saws.

I think the back handle is superb in the tree, its light and manoverable and with the rear handle i think it gives so much more control and leverage when cutting, the only downside being its a bit longer and you cant use it one handed which is really a plus. But each to there own, this is only me! Didnt mean to start you off on this debate!! Honest:001_tongue: M:thumbup:

They wont go on the willans harness, well they will if your willing to break them getting them on or put them in a really useless place. brilliant thing to have tho. in your kitbag:thumbdown:

Intresting what you have all said, some of them ive never heard of? - the majority agree with a ms200t for the small saw, im suprised no one else mentioned the ms200 back handle? I suppose there are endless combinations that come down to peoples preference and what they are used to using. M

Haaarrrrrhhhh so thats what its about No. No its definateley about how many toys you have....err i mean tools.

I rekon youre right mate, I think you would need a few different sizes of saw to cover all jobs comfortably. 150t, 200t, 200, 026, 440, 660, 880 should do it if youre a stihl man Its just that it seems fairly easy to build up a few similar size saws that you probably dont need. well apart from back ups of course, then we are back to square one. Then there is hedge trimmers, pole pruners, blowers...........in fact forget less tools I'm gonna need a bigger shed.

I didnt think there was a right to light full stop. -
Can you tell i'm bored I am starting to build up a decent collection of saws and as i start to struggle for space i am thinking how many do i actually need? If you could only have two chainsaws to cover all your work, what would you have? I would choose the ms200 (back handle) and the ms660 with a 20'' and a 30'' bar. I think with those two, i could cover most jobs (if i had to) What would be your two? M

Was it sharp/well maintained? I find mine to be great for the right kinda job, but always make sure its razor sharp etc. Im not saying these little saws are the be all and end all, but they do have there uses.

I have the Husky T425, must be very similar in comparison to the stihl 150? handy little saw for small pruning jobs, hedges etc.

Me too on Monday morning? how strange

Anyone posting jokes about Oscar Pastorious is just being prosthetic

what do you mean?

When these things happen its terrible how fast the jokes are made and spread. Its the world we live in today with fast technology and media coverage. I have a good sense of humour so most things dont bother me, but If you knew someone involved or you were part of some disaster then you may find them hurtful. Or you liked being miserable.

Exactly what I was thinking M -
I have a few books on Bonsai, but I havent the patience to spend doing one properly. I grow trees from seed in the back yard, and prune them back every now and then re-pot them and trim the roots. I have killed a few but i keep trying and i have a few on the go, all different species but as of yet nothing to write home about. it takes a while i suppose Great things to look at when they are old and have been done correctly.

Whilst looking into replacing the gaffs on some Bashlin spikes, I have realised that the gaffs I have been using for years are actually pole gaffs and not tree gaffs. The tree gaffs are a different shape, angle and length than the pole gaffs. The tree gaffs come in two sizes - standard and long- stardard 43mm and long 64mm I think to start using tree gaffs now is going to take some getting used to! I was wondering how many others are actually using the tree gaffs on there spikes and not pole gaffs? Any comments/preferences?

I would say NO, you are not currently qualified as a first aider. A lot changes in ten years, the way first aid is carried out, improvements in treatment etc. As a first aider i have to do a refresher every three years to keep up to date and its suprising how many little things you forget, attending regular refresher courses gives you confidence that you would be able to cope should something untoward happen. Just do the three day course its worth it. you never know when you might need it, even for your own family. hope you wont have to use it.

It makes perfect sense, i cant see why this shouldnt happen.
