My 1st 200t!!

[sawinredneck]

I too have a 020 from the mid 90's. It is as strong today as it was new. These saws are quite obnoxious, especially with a 16" bar. If it ever dies I will replace it. Notice the lack of HER.lol Stihl chain is great, for some reason it oils better with the stihl chain. As far as sharp chains go, I don't notice any difference in longevity. But I do a couple strokes each time I get gas, so my chains only get dull if I hit something. There is no doubt less stretch in a stihl chain. But thats what adjusters are for. And as I recall the 200 has a new tooless adjuster. Maybe I will go get one myself and use the 020 for a back-up. You guys need to go into sales.

Nope!!! None of the tool less crap on the 200! It's a beatiful thing

I prices a 200 and it was 600! I bought a 441 for 100 more. What are you guys paying for new?

14" bar goes for $529.00 plus tax here

Once they stopped making the 191t and made the 192 the price went up about $125. Sucks. I went for a nice ride today because the saw I was using is small and is a dog and the top had way too much hinge when it went over.

love my 192t and only use stihl chain!

About 1700 nz dollars, so 1156 us dollars. And at that price they are still worth every cent.

200t!

Hi, I'm new here, and this site looks great, I happen to have just picked up my brand new little 200T today, mmmmm sweet little thing, Au$1399 here, comes with the 12" bar, I'm sure a 14" would go fine but it's sweet as it is. Climbed a tree and dropped a couple of limbs that just had to go...

Love it!

Cheer's,

Dan

Bore cut. lol. That is the thing about these tophandles, know their limitations.

I have been running 020s and MS200s for years. Tough little saws , have dropped them 50 ft out of a tree a few times only bent the top handle's a/v a little. The newer MS 200 with the muffler opened up right out of the box has all the power I need for a light saddle saw. But I'm soon going to try a Husqvarna 338, it is a older design but I sure like the looks and feel of it.

holmen. if you are satisfied with the 2hunge right out the box after giving the muffler and screws a little "business" then you are going to be wholly disappointed with that 338. dont get me wrong now its an alright saw but it is in no way shape or form the 200t.

i own them both. the 338 hasnt seen any saw gas in quite some time now.

OD..you're the man yet again..my saw just came today from Fed Ex..I called em back and talked to another salesman..not that same retard that told me the don't make a full chisel chain..they make em'..they just don't have any in stock..the dealer I go is mainly geared towards homeowners..and must not get many pro's..if they weren't so close to my house(less than 2 miles) I'd go to some other place..but man..I put that little sucker to some wood right after I got it out of the box..man..throaty little sucker! Can't wait to get it out on a job and make some chips fly!

Thanks again bro!

 

[oldirty]

sometimes you gotta go places to get what you need.


i drive about 35 mins (one way) to see my guy at his shop. worth the trip knowing if he doesnt have it i wont need it.

i stopped going to the shops around me for the simple fact i know they wont have any of what i need.


glad to help you out WM. btw i called my bud to find out that chain you needed. see what i mean though. he knew! lol

 

[WolverineMarine]

Thanx again for all the help guys!

ummm....reckon you've missed my videos.....

200T is easily upstaged by a muffler ported 338/2139.....

Thanks for the advice oldirty . I was wondering which 338 you have? I heard Husky did alot of updates on the latest model. I do alot of roaming around up in the canopy with my tophandle 200 on my saddle, I thought the 338 would be a nice change with its smoother streamlined design.
When I bought my first Husky [372XP] a month ago after running Stihls for 26 years it was such a nice boost to my daily grind running the tree service.I look forward to going to work in the morning now with my new toy! For next season I got a 357XP and 395XP in the plans to backup or replace my aging Stihls.

 

[oldirty]

thanks holmen.

i only say what i say about the 338 because of the fact that at my job everyone had a 338. now we all have 200t's. the rest of the 338's (minus 2 still being used) are on the shelf with a different ailment.

one of the 338's being used as we speak is the cali edition (brand spanking new) and it has had the muffler ported but still cant cut with my 2hunge. maybe i just sharpen the chain better than others. i dont know.


rbtree. show me what you are doing to them saws please. i've already opened up the muffler some on mine but i know there is something else i can do to it. any suggestions?

I forgot where Roger hid those videos, but he can make them walk and talk for sure!! I don't know why he loves them so much, but he does.
Roger is nothing but a class act, LISTEN and take to heart ANY advice the man gives you!
