I am looking for a LIGHTWEIGHT saw(less than 9lb pho) for packing. I am using it to maintain about 16 miles of fence so mostly cutting stays(2-4" dia.)
and the occasional larger fallen tree. I have a ms361 for the sections of pole fence but have problems packing this thing more than a mile or so with all the other fencing equip(steep high elev terrain). I thought I would just go get the ms180 but decided to log on and read through some other threads and I am, as usual, more confused than when I started. I have looked at the echo 306 and 346, ms170, 180 and 192. I also looked into the Dolmar/Mak dcs401 but I have not found as much on here? I also looked through the huskys but almost everything was over 10# except for their new 339 but it seems to be fairly pricey compared to the other saws. Would like to stay $300 or under as I will only be using the saw maybee 15 days a year and I use the 361 for everything else. I would rather not have a top handle saw either. Please help unconfuse me?? Thanks
