Been shopping for a tiny saw. Primary job will be a live aboard on ATV & tractor. Occasional limbing duties.
12" bar.
Ready to cut used top handles are tough to find around here under $200.
Can I buy a brand new MS170 from northern fool and put a 12" bar on it?
I see them for under $200.
I have an older stihl pole saw with 12" bar and 1/4" chain. (Chain uses a 1/4" file, not a 5/32.)
It would be convenient to use that B/C combo if possible.
Putting more $ into the 170 to get a 12" B/C would quickly put me into Echo tophandle $ territory, so I'm trying to weigh my options.
