Never used a 150. I would like to have a 200/201 rear handle for limbing. I use a 346 or 260 most of the time, so I pick the 346 out of your choices.

How many posts before the 395/880 limbing bad boys chime in?

Old school ....242 xp or a 42 special (always overlooked )..in the small stuff on 13in bars, Bigger limbing.... Dolmar 115 or the OE 346 xp
New school Dolmar 421/420 ....bigger limbing Stihl 241 or 550

MS150T is the lightest saw I've ever used. But, I think you want a rear handle......yes?

 

[KenJax Tree]

I thought you had a 241 Keith.

Me too. I use a homeowner Stihl 180 sometimes too.

Stihl 026 PRO. Still the best, and today you can get one that runs for about $250. Compare that to the Stihl 241c for $600. Your choice.

I would prefer a rear handle but open to suggestions

Keith that guy that was limbing with the 242. He fell in love with the stihl 241 and said that was his go to saw now and has more torque in the cut.

Sounds like it would be a wise choice to buy that

Got rid of it when I got the 550xp. 241 is awesome but $$$!

I like dads 242 but he repossed it so i built myself a 550 for limbing.

Light: Stihl MS 201 MTronic.
Classic: Husky 242
Safe: Husky 346 OE
If you go for a new 42-45cc class saw it's impossible to not bring the new lighter MS 241 MTronic into discussion.

Anyone had any experience with the husky 543xp?
