s.kerrone · 24th March 2008, 06:32 PM

Went to a saw dealer ship today(they sell Huskys,Stihl and Echo) looking to buy a stihl 200t,and the dealer was saying that alot of climbers are going to these new Echo saws??? I don t know any thing about these saws, is there anybody reading this own one? and how are they?

I personally don't own one but I use to work for this one guy that ran nothing but echo and for what I experience thay are nothing compaired to the 200T. the micos on the crew were using my saw more than their bosses saw. To compair stihl and echo, to can't go wrong with a stihl no matter what size it is. Its well worth spending the little extra money to get the quality and production you want running a tree business. Personally I run 200Ts a ms 250 ms 440 and 2 ms 660's I bought them new years ago and they are still running strong to this day compaired to my old bosses echo saw that would burn out arter 6 months or sooner.

thanks for the info Grizzly,I didn t think they would be better than a Stihl 200t but it made wonder why they(dealer) would try to sell me one! they have been in the logging buisness for along time.
thanks again

He probabley figured you'd be in every 6 months to buy a new one instead of every year or 2 for a stihl.

Don't listen to him Bill.

You keep buying Husky's.
The good people of Sweden are depending on your money.
If they don't get your money, then they can't invest in research & development.
If they can't invest in research & development, then how will they ever learn to make a good saw.

Maybe when you sell that Ford truck, you can buy a Volvo as well.

Who in there right mind would turn down a free stihl.?
If huskey hasn't been able to make a superior saw since they started then why bother. Don't get me wrong, huskey make a okay saw, but it dosn't have guts to it like a stihl. I've used a 338 and it was like a rag doll up there. the primid cover for the spark plug would either crak, fall off or just brake. So what do you call that, a design flaw. Even though my dad swares that huskey is the best, the 33 he has is just a bloody old mees. It my be 20 years old and sort of still run, but they don't make it any more and with that its imposible to find part anymore. At least with stihl they make parts for most of the saws they make and discontinued years ago. The resaon why its so old is because he rarely uses it. Besides uses my saws most of the time when there one to spare..

Enjoy.

Bill you were right to turn down the 009 p.o.s but you can t beat the 200t for climbing. i do use huskys for the medium saw range got a 365 and a 395xp but i can t find a better large saw that my old stihl 084
