Tree World - View Single Post - Stihl MS 200T - don't like the filler cap re-design

Well, I had the opportunity to do some tree work the other day and I'm glad to report that my concern about the oil running out before the gas was premature.

It's fine. Great saw. Eff me and my blatherings, no worries, go buy it, maybe they'll throw in a Rubik's cube if you say PLEEEEEZE.

You know, I scoured the internet for comparisons between the Husky 338 XPT and the Stihl MS200T. And since both my previous saws are Stihl's, no way was I going away from Stihl without a hands down rave on the comparo. And that's far from what I found. I read some really great comments (mostly from this site, I think that's how I found Tree World) detailing the pros and cons of each. But there was nothing about the Husky talk that was enough to pry me away from Stihl loyalty.

Good climbing and cutting out there and make sure you look at the picture of the kickback.

Have to add this last PS - I recently bought the Silky Sugoi and I use the chain saw a lot less now !!! If you don't mind getting your heart rate up a bit - Kee-Ryst!! Does that thing ever go thru a limb!
