Stihl Query ?

[Pat Ferrett]

Hi all thinking of buying the new MS201t and the Ms201 rear handle to replace My old 020t 200t and 200-RH but it seems from what I have seen the new 201-RH only comes with a max 14 inch bar where as the 200 RH has the option of 16 inch .

 

Why is'nt it an option to choose a 16 inch bar

 

You thoughts please

Just curious, why would you want the rear handle?

[Pat Ferrett]

To replace the old one I've got

will the 16" from your old saw not fit on the 201? then you can save a few quid by buying PHO...

Yeah it will but have'nt Stihl got the faith in the new saw to rate it able to cope with the bigger bar?

2.3hp with a 16" bar what does that go like

Same power and cc as a Stihl Ms211 and that comes with a 16 inch bar.
