Cheers for the replies chaps, I know all about the dangers of wind blown/hanging trees, don’t have CS certs but me old man is a farmer so obviously lived on the farm for years and hacked away at such problems for years, luickily have use of tractors and machinery to aid in the clearing of such problems, just looking for a good light weight saw for limbing and clearing and thought a top handle might be the way ahead, the 346 is a bit heavy for all day limbing even with a short bar on it.
Dealers shouldn’t sell you them but when you know the dealer and have done for years I dought that will bother them, and even if it did the old man would just go and get it!
