Brand New 200t for $350!!!!
I just had to brag about this, I was at a Stihl Dealer the next town over from me. I like to window shop when ever I see a dealer, so I look on a shelf away from the saw display... And i see a 200t discounted to $429 so I ask whats the story on the saw. The owner stated it was a bought from the sales rep it was his demo.. It only had a few scuffs on the sprocket cover from riding around in his company truck.. He stated it had been on that shelf since Feb and he would sell it to me for $350, so It was a no brainer for me I only climb part time so my current 200t was only a few years old.. but what the heck deals dont come around like this every day right..
So I decided to put my old one on Ebay and I got $350 Buy it Now for it plus shipping in less than 8 hours... I am still amazed these saws are bringing this kind of money on Ebay.. So I basically swapped out my saw for a current one for little to nothing... Life is Good!!!

I would have kept the old one, but that's just me.

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.
Sounds like you have some nice equipment comming. If you want a great, light prunning saw check out the 192t. The little less weight makes a difference, of course I only run a 12" bar on mine and that makes a difference too. They are $299 around these parts. I use the 200t for removals and the 192t for prunning and really like the combo.
