Top saw, what a minefield!

Pointless saw?? If you want light weight 150 if you want some power 201

 

i have used a 193t and it feels a lot lighter than a 201t and is nicer to used on deadwooding etc.

Had a 540 xp for some time now and cant fault it.

I use 201t"s at work...theyre ok but i find prone to breaking easily or maybe im just heavy handed...

i use a 192T muffler mod and timing advance hardly use 201T (infact it has 16inch bar on as that has been Muffler modded and timing advanced for the real thicker stuff) the192T with the alterations will cope 90% of what i sued to do with 201T and defo lot lighter and easier to use etc , tbh the 150T has had muff modded and timing advance and that gets a lot of use too but by the time the 192T has done its work rarley does 201T come out as a lot of times the next saw is ground saw from the flour lol

if your doing loads of connie bashing and want a compact fuel efficient saw go for the 150 i rate them quite high and doing bigger takedowns we just use a 550

We have a 200t and a 192t and the 192 is the go to saw for pretty much all our climbing except the really big stuff. It feels a little more robust than the 150 although I really enjoyed the 150 when I trialled it. These days, I don't think I'd bother with a 201 for the work I do; I'd rather the 192 with a little carving bar on it. Much nicer finishing cuts, lighter, plenty of grunt, easier to use and cheaper than the 150, although modifying to take the carving bar adds a bit to the price. I am interested in Echos offerings though and am watching those threads with interest.
