Stihl 020

[MikeAitch]

I have two Stihl 020 tophandle (AV Super) chainsaws. One working and serviced, the other, complete, but for spares... Gathering dust rather than sawdust. I want to sell them, but don't know where (is Ebay best?) or how much to charge.

 

A retired tree surgeon friend speaks of them in hushed tones as if I have a Picasso rather than a chainsaw. I'm sure he's overplaying it, but I don't want to sell them for 50 quid if they're worth 500.

 

Any advice / pointers gratefully received.

 

I hope it's OK to ask this kind of question here.

 

Thanks

They’re interesting rather than a real collectible.

In good working order I reckon £180 for the two.

 

Opinions may vary.

YOU LIMEY DIPSHIT!

THEY’RE WORTH $5000 EACH!

 

BEST SAW EVER MADE.

MORE POWER THAN 2 88’s WELDED TOGETHER!

 

Etc. etc. etc.

Seriously, runners are currently on ebay for between £200 and £400.

That doesn’t mean they’re selling though.

 

You couldn’t give me one for nothing.

They did have an easily removable baffle which genuinely transformed it.

What if he threw it over the back hedge while you were out ?😜

Well I would get tennis elbow again then!

I paid £230 delivered for my 020T that had been almost unused - it was a retired climbers spare saw and in perfect condition. Fresh fuel and fired up no problems.

I'd say I got a very good deal and they are every bit as capable as the modern versions, the MS201 is selling for £750 new. Perhaps upto £300 but they are old with no warranty.

 

Lots of pattern spares available so it may be worth building your spare saw into a runner.

 

I much prefer the smaller Echo 2511 so I find the 020T is only used for blocking down trunks upto about 16" then I switch to the g372xp. If I could only take two saws it would be the 2511 and g372xp, the 020T would be left at home.

The fella has one of the predecessors to the 020T and MS200T, one of the alloy bodied top handled saws....just clarifying as some of us are probably to young to remember them..... like this: -

Thought many of the parts are now obsolete saw has to be 25 years old
