Ms200t and an 034

[Affordabletree]

I have the opportunity to get a Stihl ms200t and an 034 both have really good compression and the 200 starts on second pull the 034 starts on the fourth. The guy is asking $500 for the pair. The 200 has a 12" bar and chain the 034 does not have a bar or chain. Is this a good price for the two saws?

Yes the ms200 t cost around 500 new by its self and the 34 probably is worth 200 or 250 easy.
You should go get them before he changes his mind.

Do you need the 034 if not i would just get the MS200T.

If you can find a new 200 they are selling for over a grand, junk 200's are still selling for 300.

Check out ebay I seen one and the opening bid was 1200.

That's a great deal. I would go for it if both saws are in good condition. 034 has got to be pretty old though. The big saws do seem to last.

I don't understand the hype over the 200t's. A $50 mod (removing limiter, boring hole in muffler, and adjusting carb) on the 201t makes it even better than its predecessor.

The 200t is a good saw but I'd never give the price they are asking on ebay for them. Every once in a while I'll find one for sale local if the money's right and I'm not broke I'll buy it.

I run both thoughs saws my 034 is a '89 model was 575 back then and my 200T is almost 2 years old was 599 plus tax, the 34 has the same bore and stroke as a 360 and is lighter great for blocking down medium removals and it runs .325 chain so can handel a 20'bar, if that deal was in Texas and they could prove ownership I would jump on it.

Yeah, I don't think that's really that good of a deal. I think you should pass on the offer, and then pass along his contact info to me so I can 'investigate' :msp_rolleyes:

Kidding...I'd go for that in a heartbeat. Even if you didn't need the 034, sell that and keep the 200t. :chainsawguy:

I just picked up the saws this morning and I am glad I did. They both run great and I figure you can't have to many chainsaws so I will keep both of the saws. Thanks for all of the replies I appreciate it.
