The 150 is an awesome little saw, with a timing advance and muffler mod it is better than the early 201t's.

 

I haven't used the new models so cannot really comment.

[TIMON]

Never had any trouble with my 540.

Our old 201 was very boggy in the cut even with the free upgrade.

[TIMON]

Agreed, the 150 is a great little saw, great for pruning and small reductions.

[Ian C]

mine are fine , tools & workmen

 

Spoke to fr jones about it, advised to re set auto tune si will try that on Monday, really hope it does the trick.

[Rich Rule]

If you drill the exhaust and timing advance it will pull bar length in Oak.

 

Well, mine does.

 

I am lucky enough to have a couple of ported 200t's left that run very nicely. Hopefully they will do me for a while yet.

Reduction!! Pah!! I use my on take downs! Rips through timber twice the size of its bar length no problem!

I suppose (on balance) there is one thing in favour of the 201, and that is this......

 

The first examples were so utterly pathetic, that even in pre-production testing it became apparent that drastic action was required to avoid becoming a laughing stock.

 

That drastic action turned out to be development of a low profile 3/8 Full Chisel chain.

 

Of course, slapping one of them on the 200 has made it even better again........Cheers Stihl
