I finally jumped on the band wagon

[JNGWC&Tree]

After using only Husky climbers I finally bit the bullet and integrated a 200T. I tried to avoid this, but in the end the performance gains were too noticable when dealing with larger wood.

I should not have barrowed my friend's 020T, then I wouldn't have known what I was missing.

Oh well.

My favorite top-handle saw, but my favorite all around bucking/limbing/climbing rear-handle is the 346 with a narrow kurf bar.

Welcome aboard.

The almighty 200t! (angels in singing in the backround)

my next purchase, as my 335 sits in ruins......

Hey anyone running that new 435 yet? had one in my hands the other day. for 299 it was very tempting.

But 299 plus 300 equals the masterpiece...so it's a study in delayed gratification for me this time around.

I have jumped that band wagon twice now

Oh husky I love thee
and so many of your brood
But you soiled your pants and puked
that top handle made of poo

Like a mustang badged pinto
shes a barmaid with no tit
and for those who adore you
you inflicted them with utter...

The stihl one hander aint dainty
lines like a 70s volvo sedan
but compared to the orange toy
Its for the real tree man.

We may never forgive you this prentender
This repair shop devotee
until you make the ultimate
a top handle 346xp

 

[John Paul Sanborn]

346 tophandle would be a awesome!

200t is a great saw. Ive been in biz for about 12 years and just bought one- always used the 192- I let my climber use it yesterday for a removal and guess what? thats right - just broke the brake handle and screwed up the throttle, should be fixed tomorrow morning. I was PISSED OFF, but whadya do. I love this saw- great power, balance- shes a keeper.

Bought a husky 36? about three years ago, sitting under the workbench biggest POS ever.

Very nice, Timber.

 

[TrillPhil]

+1 very nice...

Boss gave us a 335 for some reason (wanting to go cheaper I guess) Piece of ####, had the tags on it until about a month ago, now its in the mini barn right along with other broken huskies... Not bad saws when they aren't broken except for the 335, might as well be using my echos.

I dunnoh, the power:weight on the 346 is the best I have seen.

I dunnoh either. I'm guessing 346 is a husky???
Not familiar with their saws.



While I'm on here.
Has anyone had problems with the gas cap not wanting to come off of a 200 after a few months use on the saw?
My stihl pole saw does the same thing.Have to pry them out sometimes.Aggrivating as hell! tried changing the caps .Seems like the hole in the tank is contracting or something. :monkey:

Yup, mine's doing that now. Haven't yet tried to change the flippy cap but I'm hoping that will solve the issue. Your testimony is not exactly heartening though...

 

[tree md]

Yeah, only mine got screwed up after two weeks. My main groundy goes around 270 and his fists are like ham hocks. He screwed up the lid after a week or two. I am the only one who can get it on and off.

Funny you mention that, He had to fill my saw on the ground while I was in the tree a week or so back. Took him 10 or 15 minutes to get it off and on while I was cussing him from the tree... He called me yesterday from a saw shop asking me what the model number was on my saw so he could order me a new cap. Told him not to worry about it, I would order one when I go tho the saw shop tomorrow for bar oil and mix. Good thing he understands how frustrated I get in the tree when things don't go smooth on the ground. He's gonna be pleased as punch tomorrow when I bring the 260 in which I just got back from being fixed tonight.

HILARIOUS!!!
I'm out of rep bullets...so have some instead.
