Stihl MS 201T Press Release

[Steve Bullman]

Theres been a few posts. Mine wasnt cutting right when i got it actually...gave it a bit of a tune by ear an it was a different saw. Start playing up again though and its now in the shop to be looked at proper.

[coleman]

Wasnt the release of it delayed for a long time??

[Steve Bullman]

No i dont think it was particularly. The Husky is the one thats being delayed

[john p]

personally i dont think either Husky or Stihl are covering themselves in glory with their recent releases,not enough info/communication about obvious issues.

We need to remember that the saw manufactures are being pushed to make there saw more and more environmentally friendly, this has to come at a price.

 

If the EU had had their way we would not have two stroke saws any more, so I guess we should be grateful for small mercies!!

i agree,but when there are obvious problems on saws that sre being hailed as the best thing since sliced bread by the manufacturers (the 560xp being the stand out example) i think they could be more open considering how loyal their customer base is? I have five mates that have bought 201t s,and they have all been returned. Not good enough IMO. Or am i just being too picky?

[coleman]

your not being picky......they are just not up to the job!

[treequip]

Funny they said exactly the same thing when the MS200t replaced the 020

[skyhuck]

People do seem to hate change.

They have a problem with a few that need retuning, we've sold about 100 of the 201 and only had about 10 come back.

We've also had a lot of good comments on it as well. Hope you all get your saws sorted and if not get in quick as the 200T will run out. And with no dates on the Husky it will be a 201 or a cheep and nasty.
