Let me tell you guys......this will allow Stihl to take over the top handled arborist saw market.
Let me start by saying it is in no way a smaller MS200T. The MS 200T will walk all over it anyday powerwise. But this saw is 1.7HP and only weighs 6.6 lbs. The saw is smooth running and cutting.
Engine, muffler and carb placement are all similar to the MS200T.
The best thing......MSRP $269.95 (prices may differ depending on location and bar and chain length/type), and you can choose between the .043 guage Stihl Picco Narrow chain, or regular .050 guage Stihl Picco chain.
Will be available very soon...look for them at your dealers guys.
To the tech guys on the site (like me). If you haven't seen it and you think that it is going to be a b&*^h to work on like the MS 191T, its not. Much easier to work on than that....wait till you see it.
