    Ive used huskys and Stihls in forestry and you cant beat the stihl for reliability and ease of maintanance. I can get 6 months out of a production saw without having doing to much to it.

    I could have done with the blade in the last pick the other week. Had a "small" kauri to chop up for firewood and needed to cut from both sides.

    Why bother it is a work saw, and why should I have to spend time on something that should have been done before it was released?the 201 t is being replaced with a new model this month as it was so shit.
