[QUOTE="promac850, post: 2982992, member: 57681"] A climbing saw is one where a guy hauls it up to cut the top of the tree off, before dropping said tree. Top handled means the handle is on top of the saw/engine, rather than behind as is with the majority of saws. For example: a Stihl 019T is a top handle saw [IMG]http://acresinternet.com/cscc.nsf/ed1d619968136da688256af40002b8f7/ddf4650e5446ef3388256dee005c3c55/Images/0.122?OpenElement&FieldElemFormat=jpg[/IMG] And a McCulloch Pro Mac 850 is the rear handed style saw we all know [IMG]http://www.arboristsite.com/attachments/chainsaw/186045d1307020315-mcculloch-pro-mac-850-28-inch-bar-jpg[/IMG] I doubt anyone actually used that huge Craftsman as a climbing/topping saw... it was more of a joke some of us like to make on a saw that happens to be in excess of 100cc and is top handled to boot...
