Bit the bullet on the 200t

[Ghillie]

Started with a top handled McCullah? Then 335s, the pair or 338XPTs have not been up to par lately so, went out and bought a 200T yesterday. 620 bucks plus tax, OUCH. Seems like 8 or 9 out of 10 posting on AS have been ranting about them so figured "they can't all be wrong". Just a little cutting in the log pile so far, to soon to tell. Balance seems less nose heavy than 338. Easier on the wrist? Tomorrow will limb up and chunk down a 65/70 foot white pine to start the day, and then on to some locust limbing. Anything I should be aware of like certain screws that like to loosen up or whatever? 200T feels lighter with 16 inch bar than 338 with a 14. I think I will like. . .

Not sure about the huskies but they like the japanese meat!

Echo fight

My current 020t is near 10 years old, the only problems is that the spade connector for the kill switch allways disconnects. I don't even remember having a pinching incident this time.

Oh and it was the ONE YEAR that they did a factory set on the high needle

Speaking of top handles. Anyone have an extra they would like to get rid of for a small amount of money. It'll take a beating climbing so as long as it's got some life in it I may be interested.

I pulled out the screen this mourning and richened the setting on my 200t it seems better!

Only 1 gas can for about 8 different saws, from a top handle to an old gear drive saw.

huskies and stihl require different fuel/oil mixtures.

It's right there OD. I told my ground man today that my 200 is like a rifle to a soldier, it's my life. Not literally, but I would sleep with it.

id spoon that saw if it slipped under the covers with me. wont lie.


seriously though, that saw flat out rips.... i had to run my 338 for a couple days a few weeks ago. no way shape or form can that saw hold a candle to the 2hunge.

i dont care what anyone says. out the box with very minor tweaks the 2hunge is the best saw ever made for its purpose.
