Stihl 201T

[18 stoner]

i think i remember seeing that the stats posted up originally were for the rear handled version, might be wrong though

 

Ooops! Beat me to it!

 

Looks like they haven't changed much, which is a very good thing. If it ain't broke...

 

I believe the internals are very different:sneaky2:

looking at the stats on the german website compared to the 200t, it's only 100g heavier! it was one of the big issues people had with it, i swear it was rumoured to be alot heavier...

 

i've hurd the same, i thing it has more power tho. Its a tall order for it to be better then then 020

Any news on the new husky top handle?

[Gnarlyoak]

Ai caramba! 759€ (£676) is that going to be the official price, thats nearly £250 more than the price of a new 200 T.

 

Does it come gold plated with a diamond studded bar?

Pic from a canadian post elsewhere with relative weights for the top and rear-handled models.

 

Other notes suggest:

 

"unloseable" bar cover

adjustable oiler

lateral chain tensioner

quarter-turn reservoir caps

fancy carb

elastostart (I don't recall the 200 being too hard to fire up)

Looks pretty similar to me...
