another question that would go well in this thread;
why do so many people have a grudge against Stihl®™ ?
it seems like many people on the forum are so die hard against Stihl®™ because they are by far the biggest seller of chainsaws. these people i describe have no problem with husky, echo, efco, makita, dolmar, or any other chainsaw manufacturer, but it seems like they would let a man give them anal sex before they would own a Stihl®™, why is that?
if Echo or Husky were the top seller, these same people would have the same attitude towards them, theyd be totally against Echo because everyone has echos, so theyll be cool and buy a Stihl®™. its that"against the grain" attitude , where even if something is proven better hypothetically, they still wont use it, because its popular and lots of others use it. it reminds me of goth kids and that whole scene kind of.. they are trying so hard to be different and counter-culture, and against the norm, for no other reason than being against the norm. theres clearly no advantage to dressing like a freak, BUT at least they are different, right? .. they dont care, at least they arnt "selling out" and buying a Stihl®™, RIGHT!?, theyd rather spend the same amount of money on a heavy ass makita, why? because they are different, and didnt buy a Stihl®™ like the rest of us yuppy sheep !
its always been "cool" to do the "unpopular" thing..some of these people i bet even form their opinion without having ran one, they just know they dont wana be another yuppy bmw driver (stihl®™ user) so they convince themselves they are overpriced junk, even if they secretly want one inside, they cant let anyone know, or they loose that edgy cool factor that comes with hating the most successful , the same way little goth and emo kids hate their favorite band once they actually make some money and sell some records, same type of thing going on here if you ask me.
Ouchhhhhhhhhhhhh tellem whatcha really think man. I sorta say it a differnet way around here where I work, f-um....LOLOL
Far as why does the 200T cost so much, it doesn't. In fact for the amount of money a arborsit makes using a 200T to top out trees its really one of, if not, the lowest cost saws on the market per dollar made with it. Course you would have to use one as a tool making a living with it to know that. To port, mod and play with in the backyard comparing to other top handle saws then yes its very expensive and very unproductive, it was designed for serious arborist work, not play. Even with all the well known carb issues the 200T has had in the past its still the best top handle saw ever made, proven by who, the arborists who use it and continue to pay big money for it so they in turn can make big money with it...
