Anyone have or has used a Stihl 150C saw?

[Rat Rod Mac]

I know they are supposed to be carving saws, but I was wondering if anyone has used one for cutting up smaller limbs for firewood. They're expensive saws so I thought the quality may be there. Anyone have one? Thanks. RRM

I had the top handle version before rear was offered.

Came with longer bar but I liked this for trimming.

They need a quick easy muffler mod and the epa pin drilled out of H side for carb adjustments.

The 150c is an arborists trimming/limbing saw. Called the younger brother he used them when climbing, and they do fine on 5-7-inch limbs. So, they would work ok on trees. But he doesn’t think they have fall notches. You can probably find a manual online to check that.

What's a fall notch?

They help you aim your cut. The notch is an aiming aid/guide to give you an idea, where the tree should fall, all things being equal.

Just dont use it at high altitude. I have issues with any chainsaw under 35ish CC displacement.

If it's any thing like the ms193t it's not really a huge saw. Good for top handle style work.
