Stihl 011AV AVT Question

[sawtoter06]

Hi all, I have come across about 15 of these saws and I am thinking of purchasing 4 or 5 of them. My main question is, what is the difference between the AV and the AVT and are all or most of the parts interchangeable? Thanks for your help!

Some of the parts are interchangeable. The difference between the 2 are the 011 AVT is a top handle chainsaw meaning the handle you grip on to is on the top. The 011 AV is a rear handle saw and the handle is futher back on it.
