Agreed. Worth every penny for that saw.

I have to take back some of my previous statements of how bad the 201t was gonna be. it is no where near as bad as the 362's i got. it does start and have decent power. I've been using the 201 for almost a month now and can't really complain to much about it, other than why on earth would they change the size of the nut that holds the clutch cover on? i liked the old universal method better.
and a tank of gas in it goes a long way i can usually do a pretty good size tree on one tank.

Mine goes in every tree.
I use a Sugoi most of the time. I also like a Zubat if there are not going to be larger branches.
Chainsaw goes up less than half of the time - I like my 338XPT, but am not going try to start an arguement as I don't claim that it is better than a 200T. I like the balance better (even though it is less power), but it is what I am used to...I know most 200T users say the balance of that is better but that probably because that is what they are used to.

My Choice - Stihl MS201T.:msp_thumbup:
Solved the bubble problem in predecessor 200T; Less fragile bar-muffler cover
Give me large nut back!!!
Worth every penny you spend. :msp_thumbsup:

I have a husky 338xpt and a stihl 201t, I like em both I think the husky feels more comfy to run and its cheaper. It depends on personal preference. I use the husky most the time and save the stihl for back up.
That is why you should always keep two hands on the saw, and never hold the branch you are cutting between your legs.....Give me large nut back!!!

Ohhhh.....the bar nut on the chainsaw.
Sorry - I couldn't resist.

stihl 201t awesome on fuel worth every penny as well
020T or MS 200
No power saw is good to have with you in the tree.Dangerous! But Stihl top handle MS 200T is by far the best. Just run good gas and mind ur spark plugs and filters. Will cut Big limbs with great efficiency. Also watch 4 kick back!

So do you guys think the 201 is as good as the 200t?... Better?... Am looking at getting one soon, a lightly used 200 is more than a brand new 201, at least what I've seen.
