Stihl 201
Has any body tried a 201 for carving. i know they are a bit pricey but im just wondering if it would be a good replacement for the much loved 192.

Re: Stihl 201
The MS201 is a rear handle and the MS201T is the top handle.

Re: Stihl 201
Bought the 200 back handle two weeks ago, it is well balanced with a fourteen inch bar , I am just waiting to buy a carving bar for it and then off to play.
