I think it's kinda funny that the 201 is all beat from years of use to make him his money and then he craps all over it when it wears out. So what then? Buys a new saw but different make. How does that prove the new one is better?

Do you listen to yourself? Why is it funny? Should he have spent more money keeping it alive or invest in a saw that is more superior? How do you know that maybe that saw had need of repairs that are more than than the price of a new saw?
To you other guy's that have bad opinion's about it, prove you have one.
As an Operation's Manager, I make sure to have the best saw's I can. Although the owner of our company thinks that is a lot of money for a saw, he trust me enough to give me what I want. The 201T has some weak spots. The main one is where the handle grip meets at the front. Fragile.
Don't be jealous, buy one. After a day or two, you will like it. Just make sure you have a shop with the software to go to.

Helped a couple of Deevo's guys today dismantle this thing.
I at 53 was the least ancient. But we got er done, by gum.

Funny dude. You know there are tree cuters in Africa that are still using manual saws as their primary instrument, right??

Maybe as they should?

I made it very clear in the video that I'd used the 201 for 2 years because I had no alternative. Yes I got paid for the days I used it too, like you said. But having started climbing with and 020av nearly 25 years ago, then the 020t, and the 200t after that I felt severely handicapped in having to switch to a 201 a couple of years ago. Working against gravity, you simply cannot work a tree the same way with an underpowered saw like the 201 as you can with say a 200. The 540 on the other hand is different class. It just fukcn sinks into the wood wheres the 201 just bogs down. Consider too the many Stiihl reps that Ive spoken too who swear blind with such conviction the 201 cuts every bit a good as a 200....when everybody, including them knows that is simply not true.

I dont see the point in being nice about it. I just wanted to smash the fukcer after 2 years of being pssed off. I lost so much time with that saw basically having to climb like a pu ssy, cutting everything small because limbs and tops that are ripping and tearing out because the saw cant keep up.

Did you mod your 201 or was it stock?

So what saw does your boss buy for you to run?

I don't think that was the point, I think Reg just wanted to have a little fun and express his grief with the 201.

Same reason I kept that new 200T that I bought at the pawn shop, I was going to sell it, but then decided I better keep it. Still sittin purty in me shop, its really hard not to take it out and put it on the truck.

Reg my 201t eats my 540 for breakfast. Now with that being said the 201 is not stock, but only a muffler mod and timing advanced. The 201 is far more fuel efficient. The only thing I like better on the 540 is the ergonomics of it. That's just my experience. With the two saws.

Was just out putting all my freshly sharpened saws in the truck and getting things ready for tomorrow. Spotted my shiny new 540. Pulled it out to double check. Yep, still runs like ****. Won't idle even when hot as hell, then dies and I actually have to choke it to start it again. Dog piss!!!!!

 

[tree MDS]

That said, it's a pretty little saw and I like the way it feels. Does seem like it has the potential to rip too. Seems like it just needs to be woken up some, is all. Well, running right first would be nice..

 

[tree MDS]

Lol. At least they were considerate enough to have the on off button spring loaded in the start position. Saves you an extra step so you can focus your energy on the pull cord.

Called my dealer. Gonna drop mine back off Monday to (hopefully) get it straightened out some.

Reg always be looking out for the cops in his videos !

Not the cops, Immigration Naturalization Services.

Thats amazing. Because I had my 201 modded within a month of owning it. And while it was vastly improved as a result, my stock 540 just smokes it right out of the box. What I did notice though is that I ran it exactly to the recommendations in the manual that very first time, while a buddy of mine did not. Mine seems to rev higher and more torquey as things have turned out. Maybe I got lucky. But it seems you are one of the very few and far between that rate the 201 for much more than eating $hit...let alone eat a 540 or 200, modded or not. Maybe you got lucky too.

 

[treebilly]

I agree that the 201 is in no way comparable to the 020 or 200t I have given the Stihl reps my opinion and they disagree. My 201s are out of warrentty now so let the mods begin. I do have the dealer rebuilding 4 of my 200s also

 

[tree MDS]

What'd you have to do to sweet talk that thing into running right? Maybe sit it down for tea and crumpets? Mine seems like an overpriced 335, (or 338, whatever the early ones were the last time) A little sleeker looking maybe, but the same flop. I could be wrong though. Time will tell.

Not really into tea Paul, crumpets are good though. I dont know why you would harbour a new saw that isnt working. I would demand a new one from the dealer right away. He sold you faulty goods. I'll make a vid of mine running next week, you'll see the difference. 335, I dont think so.
