sad day for me 200t ready for retirement

[pro94lt]

Guys the 200t was my first climbing saw first for all those cuts you just had to go with and hope for the best... I bought a echo 355t but it really doesn't belong in the same category. I've had to send it down one to many times and say get the big echo for me I really feel down its the one saw I could drop branches before the hinge broke... anyone tried the t540?

 

[treesmith]

Get a 201t from Brad!

Sent from my GT-I9210T

 

[pro94lt]

Man I don't know I got the 355 because everyone talked of them so highly and their ok but their no 200t

 

[luckydad]

Just send the 200 to Mastermind he can do a total rebuild and porting if you want and when it comes back home it will be way better than a brand new one.. I know first hand ..

 

[pro94lt]

My 200 is just flat worn out everything on it. Switch chain brake cover compression been dropped and the case seeps oil floods easy,needs a plug filter and just time to be put on my shelf hell even the lanyard clip is worn.. when running it's a still an animal

 

[luckydad]

He can fix all that no problems the saw will be just like new agin ..

 

[husabud]

Should have planned ahead boys.

 

[pro94lt]

Rubbing it in... well yes I should have I bet their's one sitting on a shelf somewhere at a feed store just waiting

 

[deevo]

Get the 540, you'll be glad you did!

 

[pro94lt]

Well I got the 355t on behalf of what people said on here. .. it ain't cutting it it's OK but no 200t. The 540 the real deal?

Get the 540, you'll be glad you did!

Finally got mine going good but it still doesn't compare to my snellerized 201 plus the 540 eats up fuel like no saw I've ever used

There hardly awesome , I have 2 338s and I like them better , then the 540 , and is think there unbalanced . They hurt my wrist and shoulder . I dunno I just have kinda realized that I will just stick with the 200s and the 338 and at 500 a pop there worth it .

 

[pro94lt]

To be fair to the 540 it's not broken in yet I only have 5 tanks threw it ,it will get a little stronger after say 10 more tanks

Did you run the 338 ? I like them once I busted out the grill covering the muffler ad drilled a second hole in the bottom to keep the hot air off my hands( thanks ol dirty) the saw is consistently nice . And doesn't tire me

**** I've probably gone threw 15 338 /335 they are good saws but they killed my wrists being they are a little nose heavy with a 16"bar .i was a husky top handle saw guy once they stopped making the poulan 25a. To this day I've never ran a 200 but I'm in love with the 201 after it was tweaked by brad

I have 2 200s being totally rebuilt and ported by Mastermind work saws right now. He did 1 for me sometime last year and it's a real big difference compared to a stock one. I have put probably between 150-200 tanks thru it so far with no issues at all. I would love to try a snellerized 201, and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna buy a 540 just to try it they look very nice. Oh and if anyone needs a new 200t I have 1 in the box never opened in the office floor..
