Little limbing saw ?

Sorry, I misread you and thought 346, I don’t know anything about the 543xp.
Is a ms261 bigger than what you’re looking for?
Like I said, I’d love a rear handle 201 but once it came down to purchase time I’d probably chicken out and get a 261. More saw for around the same cash.
I’m asking for criticism here, but I got 2 ms180 and they’re really a lot of fun and have served me well for a few years now. I really enjoy running those cheap little guys. I used to have a Husky 137 too, was cute, and similar to the Stihl 180. Never let me down. Homeowner saw though and they probably won’t take much abuse. If the tank or handle or something like that cracks, it’s probably a goner.

Look no further than the CS 2511t.

The 180 is actually not a bad saw. I bought one for my wife and find myself using it at times because of the weight and ability to cut as long as its sharp. Bonus if your away from your truck is it's tool less chain tightening, although it's rarely needed after the initial chain stretch. I'd limit it to about 8-10" hardwood although it can cut through 20" if you have the time.

I have a muffler moded cs400. It has done hard ground duty for 7 years and still going strong.
I've gotten both my echo saws during dealer days at 20% off.
He wants a limbing saw for removals - probably something with power in the back cut. 2511t is just a tad underpowered for that, and too good a saw to waste.

I have a Stihl 241cm muffler modded. They are on the extinct list but my dealer has a couple. Nothing but a wood eating machine with 18" full chisel. I can do stuff from the Kill Bill movie when limbing out near the tips. I generally dont grab the bigger saw until I'm at 20".

346XP was amazing. I loved the shit out of those. On that note, the 550XP's are a great replacement
It's decent and inexpensive
