It's the official Stihl upgrade to the early gutless 201, I had to pay but in some countries it was free. My newer one is just as good out of the box.

If you've ever used a 201 in a dead cherry you'll know its gutless

Yes do try! Its fun:001_tt2: remember to take your husky 540xp to finish the job when the 201 packs in though

Thanks for the replies, I usually use Stihl but as said used the early 201 and was rubbish. Just wondering if the newer version is much better. Looks like I'll go for the husky thanks

Glad you got involved?

 

Sucker for punishment, you!

 

I have the old 201t, with a muffler mod. I reckon it pulls better than a 540. I should get the upgrade, but to be honest it's good as it is.

201 tcm is a completely different saw to the old 201, easily a match for an ms 200, love mine

Oh Christ, that's a throwback of an argument! Were you not impressed by how much plastic the 020 had?
