Husqvarna T435 vs Stihl MS 150 C-E

This chainsaw has everything a good climbing chainsaw needs. It's compact, lightweight, rope-attachable, and powerful enough for the climbing jobs.

While on the ground, this 12" chainsaw quickly deals with light jobs. It's perfect for trimming and cutting small diameter trees.

The vibrations of this chainsaw are very low, due to the use of a spring suspension system (called LowVib). The system isolates the handles from the parts that are prone to oscillation. As a result, users won't suffer from muscle fatigue while operating it.

Unlike most commercial chainsaws, this chainsaw has a top-handled design, which makes it very comfortable to hold, with both hands in a natural position.

Due to its modest design and well-balanced 35cc motor, this chainsaw weights only 7.5 pounds.

A rope attachment is an essential feature for a good climbing saw, as it allows the operator to hoist the saw up into a tree while climbing. Additionally, Husqvarna offers an optional climbing strap accessory for another $14.

The bare tool weighs only 6.1 pounds, which makes it one of the lightest 2-cycle gasoline chainsaws available. The weight of this chainsaw is perfect for arboring and climbing tasks.

This chainsaw uses an extra fine 12-inch cutting bar with an extremely thin tip. It’s great for making precise carving cuts.

Even though this power tool is less powerful than most gas-powered chainsaws, with it, you can still do some trimming, pruning, carving or even prepare firewood.

This tool's vibration level is very low. On top of the fact that the small and well balanced 1.34 hp engine barely produces any noticeable vibrations, this chainsaw is fitted with Sthil's patented anti-vibration system. This system isolates the handles using a system of springs and levers.

The body of this chainsaw is made from quality plastics and metals while the housing is made of a durable polymer material. Overall, the chainsaw is very tough and almost immune to corrosion.
