There is another one that would be interesting to try out. But there again, not available here at least in Mn. Closest dealer is in Canada.
I see they wear 3/8 chain too.

I'm in Canada. What model and wereabouts?

That little Shindaiwa 250Ts
I'm in Minnesota.
Their web site says closest dealer to me is Emo, Ontario.

Just watched a vid on the tube of the Dolmar/Makita, seemed anemic like it needed a retune and a sharpening.

I have a few good shin dealers in my area, I'll inquire on this saw. I don't think it's slated for a north American debut soon. There is an echo equivalent also.

 

[VinceGU05]

Yup
Would like to try one, even if I had to buy it.

would be $300 US plus shipping. would you want it tweaked? MM, timing and limiters if needed?

I have the Echo 271. Like it so much I sold my Stihl 150t.

Hmmm, I'll have to keep that in mind. I would want it stock, not modified.
Any idea how much shipping would be?

 

[pro94lt]

You sold a 150t and kept a 271 echo?

 

[VINIFIREWOOD]

Yup
I know it sounds crazy but I like the Echo better. I've since bought the 355t also.

 

[pro94lt]

I ran the 271s for years and got a 150t sold all the 271s except one I had just bought. I don't dislike the 271 but the 150 is smaller lighter and stronger... I guess it's not a one size fits all. Have you added the felling spike to the 271? Echo actually has one you can put on

Looks like it should be hanging from my steering column on my truck keys. Small saws scare me and I ain't scared of anything.

I would at least a mild muffler mod if it seemed doey in the vid clip.
At a guess shipping would be under $100.
I would have to measure the box and its weight to give a more exact answer.


Sent from my iStihl.

That lil Stihl is supposed to be a heck of a nice carving saw.

 

[blsnelling]

Would love to compare that little Shindaiwa to my 150.

Believe it or not, I have customers using then for take downs after I've modded them.

I can see it being used as a "take down" saw.......on a Christmas tree farm.

Large crane jobs. They love the small size and weight. Anything under 12" is a breeze.

I've used mine for limbing and cutting firewood till it gets where I have to go bigger,so it's gets used a lot and I love it money well spent

That new shindaiwa 25cc top handle looks pretty nice. l want one!! As in most cases, chain plays a BIG role in how these lil saws perform. l use my Makita 231t and MS150 more than my MS200t or 201T. Would love to see Brad review the new little shin!
