Big Jay: If you can justify more than 50% of the saw with in tree work, go for it. If you are not that familier or practiced with chainsaws don't buy one, they can and will bite you FAST!!!!!!!! I am very leery of whom gets to run my 192t, just because I have had it kick back on me a few times. It has a tendancy to come wizzing by you're knose reall quick like!

So, Sap, are you actually a rancher? I mean do you own a ranch? You know, like the Ponderosa or something?
And what exactly would the job of a "ranch saw" be, as opposed to a regular, non ranch saw? And what features on the saw, in your educated opinion, make it suitable for "ranch use", and differentiate it from ordinary saws?

That statement was just asanine!!!!!!! You run a buzzsaw before? Drop any trees with a crosscut lately? Let me guess back when you where a sappling you and you're pops went out and cut firewood that way right? There is a very large danger factor involved with the tophandle saws, somedays it scares me and I grab something else, it just doesn't "feel right that day". I listen to my instincts!!!
I will give you some credit on the "saw snob" statement though. I, like you, read and researched everything I could before purchasing my 390. I got a good saw that does most of what I ask yes. I however have come to regret that decision just in the few time that I do need a little more "Umph" the 440 would sure be nice!!! Now that I have the 262 opened and tuned right, It came from CO, carb needed adjusted expecialy after the muffler mod.
I have noticed that the 262 is more saw!! Look up the specs, very simialer size and weights. This is not a Husky/Stihl thing, it's just a fact!! Go run a pro saw sometime. These guys aren't being jerks or snobs, I wouldn't have belived it myself until I ran into lack of power with the 390 and running the 262, The pro saws are made better, period!!! You and I, as well as 90% of the JO Blows out there will never need more than the homeowners models, but a lot of people do, or at least want the features and longevity of the pro models.Andy

Sorry about that. I've got no beef with Canadians. (Just Canadian bacon
)That 'leverage' thing is just plain funny. You guys should really stick to being fellers, as I read in the injury forum what happened to the last guy who tried to be an engineer.

Obviously Saphead needs a 200T with a bow. No problem, anyone can use this with total safety.

Pride? Self-centered and misplaced at best.

Hey Douchebag, leverage is real, it is utilized everyday in many foms of life!!! And yes, a chainsaw is a lever first, if you can't see that than the powers that be need to change you're name to coverincr@p as you sure seem to be full of it!
I look through the injury forum and have no idea what you are talking about! D@#m, I forgot who I was talking to, sorry, my bad.

You might want to tell them that they are limiting their abilities to do the job efficiently and professionally. After that money talks.

What should I get?
I'm kinda surprised that I haven't heard the Stihl 009 brought anywhere in this site. It's the red headed step child of my operation. I'm sure yoiu have all seen one, it's the half top/half rear handled saw. I never like half this tools, they usaully can't do either, but the 009 just goes. Great cutting saw, good power (16") and just takes a beating. Much more comfortable on the ground then my 200T. That being said I prefer my 200T in the bucket or my 358xp in the trees. As far as this thread goes, the 009 is just as good, more comfortable, and about $300.00 cheaper. Pretty good sales pitch.

sap, LMAO. I wish I could be 1/10 of the douchebag you are for arguements sake.
I can't believe anyone hasn't mentioned the "possiblities" of one handing a top handle. I think this is what causes most of the accidents and injuries. I have ran them, 020T's, a COUPLE times. I found the hand placement weird and it would definately take some getting used to. I found it easier to right hand it and use the left for holding the branch. :monkey:
Now, I know that is totally wrong and that is where the danger is at. With one hand on the saw, you now have even less leverage than with two in weird angles. With the loss of leverage, it is easy to get a little close to your left hand and kickback one handed would probably make you one eyed, if you were lucky.
I just thought I would points those out for SAP's know-it-all attitude. I know that it isn't common practice to talk about one handing a saw, but we all know if happens. But the possiblities of someone reading the dangers here might actually help their odds of an injury if they are aware.
Hey sap, My 55 Rancher Pro will dust that POS heavy weight TURD 455

As a study of language I would infer that "beaking off" would refer to "birds," limey speak for women, babbling. Or "chicken heads mouthing off" if one is from Compton Yo.
Although there is a negative conotation towards women........HAHAHHAHAHA

One at a time please.
I have a poulan top handle. I bought it here. It does not eat up anything. It works for my purpose.
The only thing that can beat a 455 is a poulan. HAHAHAHHA
First I was called a Redneck and now a snob for owning a pro saw, or 20 whatever. Give it a break. You have never been wrong and that probably makes your family's life hell. These are the people that I feel for.
