Farmatec Top Handle Saw?

[MattyF]

Matty I may have just been lucky or you unlucky but I have had a number of 200 over the years and found them reliable and can they can take a good knock but with the introduction of the newer smaller top handles such has the echo 211 and MS192/3 and 150 etc after using these chainsaws then picking up a 200 again made it feel like a 660.
As for that farmertec 200 I was thinking like you with yours that you got,getting them power head and spending another £100 on it to make a decent one out of a no so decent one...may be put that thought to bed now I have asked the question.

Yep they do feel good in hand , they just feel like they belong .... but I took down a large spruce recently with the last one running ,I had and was going to keep for nostalgia reasons ... half way through I wanted the 540 back on and decided to get rid and put towards a ms400 c

I have a 200 and a 540, don’t mind either I usually use my 200 though due to the 540 pissing me off not knowing if it’s hot or cold and starting it becomes a pain in the arse choke no choke etc etc
