Hang on brother, you are in for one heck of a thrill! The 200T is the Cadillac of climbing saws. I used to use the old 020's when I worked for other tree services back in the 90's. I had always been a price conscious, frugal climber in my own endeavors. I finally broke down and bought the 200T two Christmases ago as a present to myself. Actually bought one that was 3 weeks old and used only once or twice from someone on this site for a little over $400. I was tired of all the Echo's, Poulan's, and cheap Husky 142's I had purchased in the past bogging in fork cuts, stalling out when hot, and dropping air filter covers out of trees. I do still use the 192T on small trim jobs, for climbers that come to work for me that don't own their own saw and on the ground but on large removals I will never use anything but a 200T again personally.
