gutless 201t.......any thoughts

[WoodED]

Look at the diameter of wood Snelling's cutting in his vid, it's pathetic. About 4 inches not including the bark. Lets see a vid of that ported saw through 12 inch diameter Beech, bet it's rubbish. A stock ms200 will destroy that ported piece of junk through large diameter wood.

 

at the end of the vid there is a ported ms200,,

Just a question,have you tried the 201t yet?

 

Some very experienced climbers have & rate them.

yes tried 3 separate saws each on large dismantles. Most of our work is removals.

 

The 201t behaves like a diluted weaker version of the 200t. Yes...it'll get the job done, but it lacks the raw power of the 200t, especially on larger diameter wood.

 

When you've been using 020t's and 200t's for years picking up the and using the 201t feels like a step backward, I agree it may be more refined in some aspects of it's design but why would anyone want refinement in a chainsaw?

 

The 200t is an excellent saw, why change it? especially when it seems the change is for the worst.

Thanks mate,I have 2 200t's at the moment,so I will hang on for a while.

Not directly a Stihl fault, blame the human race, blame global warming, blame pollution, blame the Kyoto climate change agreement, blame the EU; Germany and the UK government for commiting us to a 40% carbon emissions cut. End of the day all of the above have forced every new hydro carbon using device to have to be changed and refined to use less fuel and produce less emissions. To do this our machines have to have their guts tweaked out of them until they only produce fairy farts.

yep not impressed with the 201t but it has got a little better with time, should have got another 200t really
