Saw dilema

[Cov Climber]

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased an American imported stihl ms200t saw in great condition and works fine as a back up saw. The problem is I need a bigger saw for obvious reasons. As I have a perfect working but under powered ms201t. A stihl 038 has come up for slightly more money. Would you keep the ms200t or sell it and get the 038? I'm currently running a Husqvarna 550 but want something I can put about a 24" bar on.

 

Cheers in advance.

Decisions , decisions !

personally i would say a 038 on a 24'' will be slightly underpowered. if the 200t is in good nick i wouldn;t sell it. you would only regret it at some point.

Jonesies now do finance I hear. Buy a 460 or a 372.

 

Consider nothing else.

Hi Cov Climber, I run a 576xp on a 24" and it flies! I did wonder a while ago though if a 372 on a 24 would have been good as its a wee bit lighter I think for lugging around all day

good luck

I don't think its worth selling a saw. For what you will get for it, its better sat there even for back up.

yep especially if you think of what a day or 1/2 day lost work costs too

dont sell the 200t,sell your wife/kids/freezer/soul, but hang on to the 200t

Sell the 201, buy a 576xp, I love mine. Smooth and powerful, I run a 22" but 24" would be nice too.

i have a 576 very good saw but having used a 372 rather use that, not so heavy and just as much grunt.
