I know that somebody had one in their hands earlier this year but it turned out to be a stolen Stihl test mule. Could you purchase said 201T that was in your hands?

Thanks Sawtroll. Unfortunately "parts of Europe" means about USD$2000 landed to Australia
I'll get really excited when I hear "parts of the US".

lend me your credit card...... cause mine is maxed out

STIHL - MS 201 T


Pictures or it did not happen, I suppose can go and annoy the local dealer and take a picture.

I like the way the bar cover clicks onto the saw and it has a eye in the end of it so it can be tied off so you don't drop it all the way to the ground. but I suspect most tree monkey's will still climb without the bar cover.

I do like that it clicks onto the saw, such a simple idea.

Exhaust exit through the cover is bigger and further back.

if you want to see side by side pic's look at the Australian site and the US of A site.

But it didn't come with the special scabbard

as far as I know, I could go out and buy one off a shelf today here in the UK...

(if I had my climbing certificate that is!)

Dang the MS201T is 35.2cc to big for what I need. I was hoping it would be under 35cc.

Thanks for the replies guys and thanks a lot to a dealer who PM'd me as well. Greatly appreciated Glad to hear they're available in some spots and not far away in others.

I know you really was asking about availiability in the US - I can't answer that, but the 200T still is on the website, and no 201T is there.......

Why do you want a saw that small?

 

[J.Walker]

Why do you want a saw that small?

It's for race that has a small class. 0 - 34cc class. The next class starts at 35cc. So I could get away with a saw that is under 35cc.
The other thing is that I need a Non-strato saw, clamshells are out too! Some thing that could modified.

Back to the MS201T subject, just got some of the new Stihl 3/8lp chisel chain today. It's 63 PS3 55, looks really nice. The perfect chain for the 201t climbing saw.

They're here

My local Stihl dealer went to school on them last week. Says they are very similar to the MS200T in performance, just more torque. Still a pain to work on however.

He has two demonstrator units due in next week. Those will be going out to a couple of the big tree service accounts for test. I'm supposed to get one of them for test, or at least the remnants of one when they turn them back in.

Hope to give a report in a few weeks.

Take Care

I would love to get a few MS200t's from the US (Like 4), stock up as I can fix them myself, have plenty of parts and you just cant beat the classic.
