Well, that time again. Time for a new sa

[Mitch614]

Last year I picked up a low hour ms 360 pro, And love it. Now, I just need a small saw. I was going to pick up a new ms170-ms180 but searched Craigslist and saw a m192tc. I'm thinking about snagging it up. I know it's not a ground saw but let's face it, probably would see a bit of ground use and some tree work and I have a fascination with top handle. I also like the weight, it's light. The balance from what I've seen and felt on newer models is great.
So, What would a clean good running 192tc fetch for?

Also, Is the contruction better on a 192tc better than the small homeowner saws or are they both clamshell designs. In a perfect world I'd get a 261 and find a 020t or 200t but maybe that's down the road.

Thank you all for reading and responding in advance!

Stay away from the 170 and 180 saws in my opinion...

A nice used 025 or MS250 would do great for you if you aren't using it 100% all day, every day, but, in saying that, I know some local tree crews that use them as their primary small-medium saws and get a LOT of service.

I would not get a 192 or 193, I would save up and try for an 020t, 200t, or 201


A Top handle, a limbing saw, and a felling saw would all do you well
