Fellow climbers: anyone climbed with an 025 or MS 250? Seems like it wouldn’t be too bad -
Pros: Has approx 3/4 more HP than a 201T; swapping to 3/8 PS chain and a 14” bar would have great cut speed; I already have an 025 in the basement begging to be cleaned up/worked on and used..
Cons: Weighs approx 1.6 lbs more than a 201T; starting saw in-tree could be cumbersome at times fighting full compression; rear handle could limit mobility..
Thoughts? Suggestions?
FYI: I am given a 201T-CM at work and know what that is capable of. Just thinking about using what I have available to me at this time for “government work” for family and friends arborist needs..
