I found a 200t local to me in craigslist looks to be in very good shape for $350 obo but there has got to be a catch. 200s around here go for $600 all day.
 
I got 6 in the part boxes and replaced with 540's.

Let's just hope all those 2014 540 wheel chocks you jumped on don't start crapping the bed at once. I imagine the powers that be would be less than thrilled when you wanna go back to the upgraded 201's. I could be wrong though. Just thinking out loud.
 
What I mean to say is I bet you'd look like a real "douche". Just saying.:(

I will let you know if any let me down,,I should have a good review being that I have 7 climber's using them and the other two are just waiting for their 200T to go in the shop so they can get one. Even at lunch time, they have it next to them and bragging to the last 2 that have a 200T,,,,,
I just bought new chocks so I should be good. Got a couple hitch pin's at Harbor Freight,,,all is good,

We run mostly husqvarna except a ms460 and up until February of these year only 200ts in the buckets. I have 5 200ts and swore I would never by anything else until a dealer talked me into buying a 540t. Went back 3 days later and bought 2 more.the 200s don't get used at all.
 
OK, ran my 540 today and cut up some logs in my woods. What is the deal with the autotune? Manual says something like run it on 4-5" logs for 5 minutes or something? Somebody mentioned letting it idle for a couple minutes when you start it?
It seemed to rip pretty good, bogged a little in bigger wood but not anywhere near broken in yet. Going to take it on a Oak removal tomorrow and see how it does.
