Is the MS200 really that ?????in' of a saw? The cutters impregnated with diamonds? I would like to get a superlight limbing saw, and am actually considering a (gasp) Stihl. What kinda chain runs well in the 200, micro picco?

Just kidding around. Although I wouldn't blame you for exploring that option. Especially, if you have way more than your market is interested in.
I have sold a few things there and can't believe what folks will pay for some stuff. On the flip side, I have gotten some good deals and can't believe people are selling stuff that cheaply.

That is what I woudl recommend, Picco. 63PM to be exact. Great little saws.

Sometimes it's just so dayum HARD not to say "I told you so."
But in your case, their cash coming in kind of speaks volumes...
(Who said a dumb customer is a bad customer??)
we just started stocking the rear handle 200 recently.

Not PMN?
i think the 61PMN get's pinched too easily

The PMN is not rated for the 200T HP... You'll snap teeth off.. I know guys that tried to run it and they went back to 63PM or 63 PMC.

Thanks, guys. I'm having a little trouble with the Stihl nomenclature, 63PM is .063 gauge?

Nope.. Just a chain type. In this case it's 3/8 Picco 0.050.
we have a couple guys who run the 61PMN on their 200's but it's few and far between. 61PMN= .043, 63PM, PM1, and PMC are .050. A number of our customers change their 180's over to the 63PM from the 61

OK, getting it. And PM1 would be with the bumper tie straps? How about the bar, stock bar good? 14".

I run the Still 3005 16, but it's just preference. Some run 12...

I find the 63pm on the MS180 and MS192 really messes up the performance. The 61 is really good on those saws.
Chances are that unless the saw has been on the shelf for several months it'll come equipped with the 63PMC, if it's been on the shelf a while it may have the old PM1 (tripple humped tie strap) one. We stock ours with 16's but i like a 14 on it. (we used to order our 192's with 16's thank god we don't anymore)

Many thanks, men, I'm off to watch a Bertolucci flick. Have a good evening.
PS It's such a pleasure to talk to people who actually know their stuff. I was talking to the only Stihl guy in my area, trying to see if he had a chain for my friend, and it was really hard. He kept saying "What size chain?" and when I said .325 he said "No, what size chain???" He meant what size bar, of course, and never could figure out if he had a chain for an MS 250 w/o humps.

As far as bar length/type. I like the 14" Light bars on my 200, 200T, and 192T. It is all a matter of preference though.
