Do you use all 5 in a days work?

General manage with 4, 3 are 200's and 2 are 300's. My son uses a rear handle 540i, so he uses one of the 300's.

All those other saws are better than 201s 😉  K

 

Sorry for picking on you here, but care to expand?

 

 

 

201T 14" m-tronic for take downs, 2511t 10" for pruning and the occasional small branched fell.

 

Im tempted to get a ported 2511, im doubtfull it'll be a match for the 201 in the thick stuff, but the weight saving with extra power over stock would mean its used more often for felling, but probably not for everything.

 

The 2511 on the skinny bar and chain is one of the best saws of the last 10 years imo.

Josh,  You are comparing 2 completely different saws as one is a full fat, full sized climbing saw and one is a micro saw,  despite this i have found the 2511T punches way above it's weight whereas the 201T does what it says on the tin but no more than that really.  Yes a 201T has a longer usable bar but they don't impress me the same way the 2511T does.

Yeah i realise that, which is why,,, as i said, i use the 201 for take downs, the 2511 mainly for pruning.

 

However, the 2511 impresses me so much (compared to the 150 i had before) that i occasionally use it on small fells.

 

A ported one would perhaps be even more useable, yet wont quite be capable to take the 201's place.

 

I realise the OP was askin for one "go to" saw, but i don't think there is one yet. Like asking for one ground/felling saw, there isnt one perfect saw.

@josharb87 not at all. We had abt 20x 201T s, half had to go  back to dealers, so not just 'oh its an odd duff one'  020 s i had used before that were cracking saws. K

Before the 201t was the 200t, the 020t was before that.

You buy 20 at a time, but missed an entire product period? What happened between the 020’s and 201’s ?
