MS200t.....off the market?

I bought a 192T Friday, used it yesterday. Going to play with it after it breaks in to see what it can do.

First impression is that it has a tiny fuel tank. Second impression is the exhaust port is 3.5x bigger than the muffler's exhaust port, bound to be some gains to be had.

Got it for $320 and some pennies out the door with a 12" bar, 2 screnches, tuning screw driver, a "2 gallon
" bottle of 2 cycle mix, and 7% sales tax.
 
The 192 responds well to a muffler mod, I did a thread at AS about doing mine Carl.
It's never going to be a 200t though.
 
I'll just stick to my old 044 climbing saw w/24" bar. Works for me ! No need to change saws, fast cuttin on small limbs ! Good for block'n dwn or fellin !:D

It'll be at least 20-30% faster with the muff opened up.

My 2139T was 40% faster!! That gain seemed mighty big....reckon I could switch to a stock muffler for more tests..but that takes a wrench....

Yup, Husky cut off Bailey's at the beginning of the year for selling too many saws too cheap online. Those are the 75cc jugs on those saws and they've been tweaked/massaged slightly. That's why they are so pricey. :(
 
thatis a great saw,no doubt.

Anyone use one of these before?

my buddy hasone.got it new but like new from an old timer for $250.

if i had to buy it at new prices,i'd buy a 346xp NE instead.

wonder if parts will be an issue...
 
Funny, I was looking at the new Baileys catalog and saw a Univent chainsaw that looked very, very much like a 372. Anyone see this?

Greg told me it's essentially been woods ported. If done to similar specs as many good saw builders, it's putting out 40% more power.....or cutting 40% faster....whateva......
 
I was looking at the online Stihl catalog, and it no longer shows the rear handled 200, is it history?
 
Interesting, I wonder why they've moved it to the "Occasional User" section? I'd have thought there would be saws cheaper and better suited to the occasional user.
 
I don't think the rear handle 200 was ever intended to be a "treemans" saw .Just like the 200T was never intended to be a saw for the occasional user and the price reflects that fact .

It's just a little rear handle ,trim the apple tree type thing . Actually I have something similar in the shed 019 maybe ?? I'll have to look at it again .
 
There's nothing similar about the performance between an MS200 and an 019, except maybe that they are both chainsaws. :lol:
 
I forgot the number on that thing again .Whatever it is it doesn't run too bad for a little saw .I don't even know why it's out in my shed because I can't find a thing wrong with it .:? It's not mine of course .
 
I'm just thinking that the MS200 must be over $500, seeing as it's an MS200T with a rear handle. Now if I was an occasional user, I'd plunk down the money for an MS260 PRO, which must be cheaper, and more of a conventional design, or even a "real homeowner" model and save a few bucks. Just thinking out loud here.
 
Somebody stuck it in the wrong category for whatever reason. Maybe they don't want to sell too many of them? They're really a specialty saw and might end up causing liability issues if they were more widely available. Who knows? :?
