200T: Truly the best climbing saw in the history of the universe?

[chris_girard]

My 200T sucks compared to the new Husky 540, so much so that I gave it away for free to a friend of mine.

Wow!!!

I know its hard to believe, but its true. My 200t was a 2010 and for a few years it ran great. Had the carb rebuilt and then got a new carb. Still didn't run like it used to.

Love the 540XP.

How long have you had the 540? I ran a ton of 200's, tried a 540 when the first 201s came out and sucked. The 540 ran like crap and wouldn't run and had many issues as well as being weak and getting broken. I traded it in to recoup what I could against a 880, sweet saw. I then went back to the 201 and since stihl sorted them they are imo the best new tophandle out there.

I would like to simply repeat the old adage - "Stihl, Stihl, and nothing but Stihl. Everything else is just - a compromise."

Pors-che, there is no substitute.

Don't buy crap!

I still got a 338xp and just got a 201t. Not real sold on the 201 yet. Im really thinking of offing it for a newer husky. Just my opinion though
