We've got full range of stihls from The ms200 top control(one handed) to the ms660 with a 75cm bar.
I've felled some big trees but they are a nasty bit of kit, always wear full ppe gear in visor, helmet and Kevlar chaps. Seen a chain come off and narrowly avoid dis balling a lad whipping rd between his legs.
Surprises me anyone can buy one in a DIY shed

When I was at college, they had two blokes making this...
(A huge horse)
A historical monument using recycled Lock Gates from Nantwich,
They used 4 brand new saws, which were worthless scrap at the end, a new chain every day, and a new bar every couple of days.
I'll find the pictures when I can see straight in the morning.

you need a chainsaw licence to buy a top handled saw, and any dealer who does not see proof of such before selling is in line for a hefty fine!

hehe a bit of verbal jousting going on here :;):
just returned from a stag do in skegvegas,what is it with northerners and their seemingly unlimited capacity for alcohol abuse with no obvious effect
the 21 of us were a sorry sight after the train journey to get there
i mean we were drinking but we all looked like crap
the lads from hull next to us were drinking till 5 AM then up at 9 drinking neat vodka and playing football?
we discussed this (drunken ramblings) and we are convinced there is a different gene in real northerners
or maybe not ???
was fun but 3 days was 2 1/2 days too long of solid drinking
cheers LLL

Personally consider anywhere after Newcastle Southern, For Pablo anywhere lower than Inverness is Southern.

Northerners in general are genetically programmed towards alcohol, due to the grimness of their surroundings and their habitat begins roughly North of Cannock Chase, which we Brummies had planted as asound Barrier against their noisy "Ay up" cries at night. Fact:laugh:

Got one, as we used to have the 120cc ms880 with a 48" bar as well but aren't that many big trees left now.
Got 2 top control, a stihl and a makita uses for roofs etc not a patch on the stihl though.
Suggers remember it was the Manchester guardian...........
