I used the 193t I bought a week ago to dismantle a medium size american elm (about 30" diameter stump and maybe 65' tall). I had only run two tanks of gas through the saw previously cutting up firewood so not broken in.
I fired up the saw and let it warm up, shut it down and then climbed into the tree. Initially it seemed like the saw would not idle for long without dieing out. I hadnt really noticed it doing this when I was using for fire wood. Needless to say it was kind of a pain. After a couple more tanks of gas it seemed to stop cutting off when at idle. I dont know if this was because it was warmed up or the fact that it was getting broken in.
The 193T has a 14" bar and for anything smaller than the bar it cut like butter. I use the saw to cut down some larger branches in excess of the 14" bar and it bogged a few times and took a little more time to cut through but it did the job well.
I used my ms362cm to fell the trunk and cut up the logs and with the 25" bar and full skip they were no match (This saw is well broken in). That saw is a beast (especially after using the 193t).
193T is a great little saw. I think I just need to get a few more tanks of gas through it to reach full potential. The 362 is m tronic and never dies. The 193t I have has the fully open muffler from the factory so probably wont get much out of a muffler mod.
