The 025 gets heavy after awhile. It has an 18" bar on it but I do not think that is my problem. It's just that the powerhead is heavy for the little stuff.

What do you all think of the Homelite XL2?

Is this a good saw? It is supposed to be light and has dual triggers, as far as I can tell.

Thanks.

It is 26cc and 7.2lbs powerhead only, no chain or bar. Info from mike acres site.

XL2's can be very finicky to keep running.

Ask Sedanman about the 170 that he has for sale; he knows saws, and won't steer you wrong just to sell a saw. Ditto what others have said about a rear handle saw over a top handle (a little extra weight maybe, but better control for safety). If you're looking for a noticeable weight savings over the 025, you're probably?? going sacrifice some HP.

Rear handle on the ground is the best bet - It is too easy to get bit with a top handle on the ground...
