ms 150 best saw ever (snellorized) in the history of saws (lb. for lb.)

[treevet]

you read it, I know it. Just a matter of how long it lasts. took a giant ash down with it yesterday and you thought it was just a sissy tweasing pruning saw....wrong. MS 200/201 is now just a boat anchor.

Comparison video or it didn't happen.

Brad's got some vids but while most of you look forward to becoming an old vet of the biz...I am and if you don't want to listen....well...ms 150, zig zag, arbor trolley, etc. so much cool stuff out there and if you don't have a bucket, 200 hp chipper, crane, mini, tracked stumper...etc., well you prob won't get there because you won't enjoy it and come to hate it. This saw flat out fkn cranks and weighs a drop over a handsaw.

 

[tree MDS]

Jesus, you really are a banty old rooster. Lol. Sounds like a nice saw though. I'm still reeling from reg blabbering on about that t540 hunk of crap.

 

[treevet]

husky? :-(

ps...was partly addressing the lack of attention to this thread

 

[Pelorus]

Took me a long time to decide to migrate from climbing with an 028 to an 026 to finally a 200T.
Old habits die hard.
I'd be more seduced by a MS150 if the $$$ : cc ratio wasn't so out of kilter.
Also, wasn't there some issues with the bar stud stripping, or the lanyard ring attachment?

 

[treevet]

yeah the bar stud and they warranted but in retrospect since it hasn't re occurred I think it was a gorilla fisted groundman that overtorqued the nut after a chain adjustment. Also this saw is easily worth what they are charging....again if it has longevity. So in effect I am also soliciting lack of longevity in this thread as I would buy another otherwise.

Hard for me when I can almost get 2 cs271t echos or one 150...

From what I've seen so far, a stock MS150 out-cuts the other micro-saws. Not saying something better might come along later, but I've had my MS150 11 months now and absolutely love it. Took the top out of an oak last weekend ... 12" bar and the oak was 14" diameter where I made my cut.

So if all these toys made you the "vet" you are...what were you 5 years ago when you had almost none of them?

o boy...

perfect branch tip tweasing saw for you Guy. Tried one yet? I hang mine from the coat hanging hook on the back of the cab in my Silverado. MS 201 (Snellorized also) sits on the passenger floor. Will never see the bed of a pickup.

 

[TreeAce]

personally,I like the thought of having one of these little saws around. Any thing I can do to extend the life of my shoulders is a good thing and I am all ears. i may have to bust a move on one here in a month or so. Gotta build up the bank after that long winter. But I will likely get one unless I hear bad things in the next month or so.

 

[treevet]

Brad Snellor loves em and I think he is up your way to do the mod unless you can do yourself. Great saw without it, spectacular with it.

Its Snelling and last i knew Brad wasn't taking in any work.

that's too bad, he works in Cinci. and he met me here on the way home to Dayton. Very happy with the 2 saws he did for me. Then again...you might be wrong.

 

[KenJax Tree]

He might be taking in work now but be wasn't he took a break when his dad was real sick and recently passed away.
