PRESS RELEASE



 

[xfloat=right]http://www.arbtalk.co.uk/images/201t.jpg[/xfloat]See STIHL at The ARB Show ...

 

.... and the new MS 201 T chain saw too!

 

 

With the popular ARB Show taking place soon, STIHL is

planning to make some real noise at the event with the

launch of our new top-handled chain saw : the MS 201 T –

set to keep STIHL at the top of the tree!

 

 

 

Rumours of the new top-handled chain saw are already circulating among arborists - keen to know if the new model will live up to the standards of the long-favoured STIHL MS 200 T. What users can expect of the new MS 201 T is that it is just as tough and impressive as its long-favoured predecessor, and that we’ve managed to make it even

better.

 

The smooth, compact design is reassuringly familiar, whilst filter life is longer, vibrations are lower and fuel consumption is reduced – all making the chain saw more pleasant, productive and more cost-efficient to run. There are many more details that make a big difference to the saw; oh and by the way - cutting performance is improved too.

 

All and more will be revealed at The ARB Show, where the new model will also be working in the trees. Visitors can also win one when they register and enter the Show’s Free Prize Draw.

 

2011 marks STIHL’s seventh successive year as main sponsor of The ARB Show, which takes place on 10th and 11th June at the Bathurst Estate in Gloucestershire. Visitors will find a number of specialist STIHL Dealers with trade stands at the Show, and our technical team will be happy to talk through products, technologies and any technical queries at the STIHL Technical Centre. Visitors can also expect to see impressive displays of tree-work best practice – including demos by Treepartner in the STIHL woodland area; you can network with friends and learn from a series of seminar

sessions.

 

If you work in ARB, get along to The ARB Show (

Arboricultural Association) and we’ll see you there. And keep an eye on the STIHL website &mpvc="]www.stihl.co.uk/MS201T where we’ll be revealing full details of the new chain saw after the Show.

This saw is absolutly rubbish.......mine got nicked off the back of the truck and im kinda glad in a wierd way...got a new ms200 instead!! The saw has difficulty cutting anything more than 3/4 inch diameter wood (god knows what its like with a 14" bar!!) and as a result ive had accidents when ive put a gob cut into a branch and it hasnt been able to cut through the back cut enough by the time the branch starts to go over, resulting in the hinge being too big and the piece im cutting off holds on for too long, not popping off and squashing what i was trying to avoid. AND the guy at the place where we bought them says one in two 201's that are sold are being brought back with problems.... as mine did. SO BUY ANOTHER MS200 WHILE THEY ARE STILL IN STOCK AS THEY HAVE STOPPED MAKING THEM!!!

Did it not occur to you that perhaps the saw needed looking at?

[skyhuck]

Its a poor workman that blames his tools:sneaky2:

[coleman]

It was looked at by the guy we bought them off as it kept on cutting out and even after it was tuned correctly the performance was dire compared to the ms200.

My boss was so unhappy with his 201 that he bought a new ms200 and is selling the 201.......so if anyone wants to buy one on the cheap 201...drop me a line

[coleman]

the guy at the shop was surprised he hasnt seen more posts like this on forums...
