Similar story to mine but I’m glad I waited till now.
The technology/programming and the build/engineering have advanced quite a bit in the last 7-8 years…especially with how the crane works with the grapple saw.
More pics to come!
I was wondering about a grapple with rotator for the kboom
It’s a lot lighter
I figure it is a decent backup when the grapple saw is down. I know that would mean I have to work aloff. No big deal for me.
Your story sounds very familiar. Not specifically with saw builders but a lot of businesses in general.
Sorry to hear your story and I hope you get this resolved ASAP

I’m not sure what else. Besides the carb going bad after a few years and the torn boots I never had any other problems with the 200ts. If I think of something I’ll definitely let you know. …
I know that the intake boot is prone to failure on the 200t. I’m not sure but the boot may have a crack and the vac test may not show while the saw is sitting on a bench.
I’ve replaced a lot of intake boots on mine and the crack is usually closed unless the top handle is pulled.
