My first M-tronic...

[IVECOKID]

Just before Christmas I treated myself to a MS201C back handle saw and I was a bit dubious at first , my last 2 saws I bought I choose the 461 and 880 has they were old skool carbs .

I have to say I am impressed with this Saw , it revs it's Nuts off so sweetly and no issues with Starting when warm , I have absolutely battered it this week and its very user friendly.

Interesting choice of saw..never had one of those in my hands. Basically the 201 top saw with a conventional handle set up from looking in the catalogue.

Often used as a carving set up i believe.

The M tronic set up could be different to the bigger saws so will be interesting if yours stays free of glitches.

Its so light and easy to use , chuffed to pieces with it .Normally I reach for my trusted Ms260 .

Seems to be the point of the saw from Stihls description…good when something lives up to expectation

I have a Husq 42 special thats had a little engine work for just such a occasion..Hedge trimming mostly. Walking a boundary carrying the saw you don't Arf appreciate light.

Weren't tempted to go with the 241m ?

I have a old MS025 from new which again has been brilliant so I really fancied trying something completely different so that's why I opted for the 201c , its a saw that I have never come across or heard much about .

Another M tronic saw that isn't a common model for evaluation is going to be interesting. Like it or not the "M saws " are here now and if getting a current model, then usage and performance for.. real.. is key.
