So tell me whats wrong with a MS180?
Lay that baby on the bench and a couple hammer blows she'll be as good as new!
What's with the indentations on the side of the rod?
Good luck with that. The 200T is "the" climbing saw of all the climbing saws. The only one that might beat it is the EPA. Then you will see them flying off the shelves like hot cakes.
I've seen a 200T up close, at the PA GTG. It's an angry little saw, very very powerful for it's size. I don't know if I'd be able to spend the $600 for a copy, but the guy who owns it, a pro arborist and climber, wasn't complaining.
Wasn't complaining a bit.
EPA has beat it. Its replacement proto type has been in the works for sometime now. I seen one over a year ago but haven't heard much about it. The 200T is a very dirty running chainsaw which is why it will boogie. I think its one of Stihl's very worst far as emissions goes.
Yeah, but it cuts oohhhhhh so nice.......:hmm3grin2orange:
As far as the 200t, price point and performance.....there are those that know and those that don't.
If they are truly gone in the near future I would/will pick one up just to sit on a shelf until the day mine dies. I think that much of it and I suspect there are many others as well........
I took the brain on beer comment as "Man, I'd have to be buzzin' GOOD to get up there!" - to which I'd have to agree. I actually chuckled at the remark. You climbers are nuts (in a really good way, no offense!)Why did you say that? I thought it was a pretty cool picture & as far as I can tell, Tom knows what he is doing. I just had to neg rep you for that remark. I hope you explain yourself, grow up, or just buzz off.
I've heard guys refer to them as their "money maker". That reputation, earned by it's power and reliability, is why they sell for what they do.
They are going away for sure as well. ..
Guess after first of year I will put my order in for a second MS200 rear handle.
I will make sure to buy a 6 pack of Ultra to go with it after Jan 2011.
I have heard it will pay to wait...........can you tell us anything?

Not really. I saw the man messing with it but never got a chance to get up close and look at it. That was over a year ago. Stihl really seems to be taking their good ole time with it and really I'm sure they aren't going to yank the 200T until they have no choice. It owns the top handle market. I can say whatever the hell he was doing to that saw he had it screaming to the high heaven. What the final result will be I have no idea, the 200T is one hard egg to top...
While that may be true, it doesn't hold a drop of water in this arguement. If that were the case, a MS261 would cost as much, or more, than a MS660. The bigger a saw, the more they usually cost, and the market expects that. The 200T is an exception to that rule. The question is why?
