ms 201 rear handle

[GTS]

Hi

Has anyone chosen one of these specifically for the lack of weight, for snedding up on the deck, use near the chipper, interchangeable parts with your 201t?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts

Thanks arboriculturist

I used an old one a while ago, cutting willow whips. It was fab to be able twist and flick the bar around and just got me thinking... with v little bulk too

Think you may be referring to the MS200 as the MS201 came out only a few years back, possibly around 2011 from memory:confused1:

Hi Spud, its in the stihl catalogue, I may have the code wrong but I mean the rear handled 201. Incidentally at the APF today Listers I think it was had the 339 xp for £399! I think that might have been discon but a good price do you think?

At least the older one must have been a MS200.

 

The MS201 isn't as good.

My choise in that class was the NE339xp in that class, back in 2007 - as it felt better in the hands than the MS200, and is a little stronger.

 

The MS201 wouldn't even have been considered, based on what I know about them.
