Any 200T's left ?

[High Scale]

I have enough bits to build a couple more 020ts, it's just finding the time.

The 201t is no where near the same animal as the 200t. That is why I spent the money a new 201t would cost to repare and rebuild 3 older 200t's.

 

First scenario, new 201t - 500gbp ish and 3 knackered 200's

Second Scenario, rebuild and repair - 500gbp ish. 3 Stonking saws.

 

A no brainer really.

 

Won't Stihl cover cost of repair in first 12 months?

?????????????????

put a comma after 201t would cost and you will understand

didnt u have one of them modded?, whats it like?

 

It is a bold statement, but I would say it is the best 200t I have had the pleasure of using. It is an 8 year old saw and runs better than my year old stock saw did.

Cheers for that. Yes sorry for the misunderstanding. I never bought a 201t, so never had to repair it. hehe.

Ahhhhh, I get it now!

I really don't get this

 

My 201t is excellent and every bit as good as the 2010 200t it has replaced.

Fair enough Dave. IME and I have used 3 different ones now. None of them picked up chain speed like the 200, they all tended to die in the cut, unlike my previous 200t. They also have had the habit of revving without the chain moving, as though the chain brake is still on. Albeit, only for a fraction of a second, but enough to notice it and annoy me.

 

My previous 200t's have not had problem like described above. I did like the on/off/choke switch on the 201t though.

 

These are just my experiences, you have abviously got a good one. I don't believe all saws are the same. Eg. lots of people have bad reports of the 441, I have had one for nearly two years. Most people who pick up that 441 of mine ask if I have had it ported like my 200t as it is also a right screamer.
