200T Domination

[Nailsbeats]

The title says it all, this is a tribute to the 200 in all it's glory. She isn't without blemishes, a rough rider, price is crapp, carb troubles now and again and yet still is the best tophandle ever produced.

Finally decided on a bar.

New 200T with a new 460R up on blocks.

192T with 12" bar balancing.

200T with 14" bar balancing.

200T with 16" bar balancing.

Full lineup.

Good night guys and enjoy your 200's.

The old metal 020's, now there was a man's saw.

I remember when half the muffler fell off one on me. Was doing a huge red oak, could see the piston going up and down. still screamed. Snapped a 3/4" bull rope that day.. thankfully nothing got ####ed up!

Throw up some pics of your 200's if you can. We need to salute it before the 201T takes effect.

How'd you snap that rope? Negative blocking too much?

I am getting another 200T very soon. Prolly next rain day. I like mine with a 16 inch bar.

I have no idea what this negative blocking you speak of is.. sounds like something the girls over at the buzz would get on about.

I heard they already stopped production of the 200t and wom't make it common knowledge unyil they have sold 85% of their inventory

I'm surprized I still have this old thing kicking around. I guess I figured if I ever needed to do a truck pull or something. lol.

I think this is a 3/4" Treeline?? was rated around 13k lbs (best I can remember). Not nearly the rope these newer double braids are!

Hows that for dating myself! lol..

I just to want one clear; Yes, I use the word 20 in reference to the ms200t which is an awesome little ####er. But NO, I never wanted to lug around and try to swing that boat anchor that a real 20 is.

You know, when you chunk down a spar on a rope with the block placed below the cut. Buzz, lol. Used the muffler modded 200T 14" set up today "pruning" some trees and wow does that baby wake up a neighborhood.
