    Echo cs 2511tes vs Stihl ms150tc

    Hi there! Current owner of a Stihl ms151tc, I've done a port job on the muffler and had some timing done to the saw and running it with 12" bar 1/4 pitch. I was impressed with the gains made from the modifications but after using it last weekend on a pretty solid mango height reduction I just...

    Stihl ms211

    is that chart off the usa site? I'm not to sure, they're really good at my local store and said they don't think it's a thing but the picture below is off the usa site and says an 18inch is recommended in the pm3? I'll be modding the saw out so I think it'll handle the 18inch with .050 chain

    Stihl ms211

    Hi there! I've recently purchased a ms211 as ground saw for cash work, around a property and for blocking palms etc... I would love to put an 18inch bar and chain on it as it really feels like it would suit it. Still with the .050 3/8p chain, but my local stihl dealer (Australia) has said...

    Overtightened sprocket snapped off ms194t, fixable or toast?

    Yep, can totally see where you're coming from :) I'm loving my 194t with the smaller gauge chain and 14inch narrow tipped pruning bar, just makes tricky cuts a little easier :) Plus i've got a 12inch .050 bar and chain I put on it for small removals :) yessss, the 201tc feels like it's...

    The cost of the repair is gonna be around 300aud and the saw was about 800aud new but probably another 100aud for the mods etc...

    Haven't tried any Huskies yet but would love to! Would love to try an echo aswell but being that my closest mechanic was stihl I just chose to stick with them! Would love a battery husky one day but have also seen some promise with the new battery makitas!

    Overtightened sprocket snapped off ms194t, fixable or toast?

    Fair enough :) I do alot of larger scale pruning work and have found it to be a great saw! But everyone has their ways :) I'm interested to see how it holds up long term :)

    How's the 261 go with the 20inch on it? Have you done any modifications to it? Got one on lay-by!!

    Overtightened sprocket snapped off ms194t, fixable or toast?

    Couldn't agree more :) It'd be like running around on the ground all day with a 66 doing small - medium tree, it'd just be overkill and create unnecessary fatigue. Every saw has it's place for sure :) I work mainly with hardwoods here in Australia and my 194 loves it :) Love seeing the 200t...

    Overtightened sprocket snapped off ms194t, fixable or toast?

    That's exactly why I only use it as my main large pruning saw or small removal saw! There's no need for me to flog it on a large removal / I wouldn't want to struggle that hard :) They're a great saw if they're modded and used for what they're intended to be used for.

    Overtightened sprocket snapped off ms194t, fixable or toast?

    Depends on the climbing I guess. I'm singling up a tonne of big gum trees here in Australia and having to do some funky limb walks / awkward pruning jobs and lugging a 201 up there just to take a few branches of just feels like absolute overkill for me... The 201 is a beast and I will always...

    What's most of the climbing you're doing? Removals, prunes etc??? And what bar chain set up did you have on the 193?

    Overtightened sprocket snapped off ms194t, fixable or toast?

    Agreed :) There's no need to lug a 201t up the tree all the time! Unless I'm doing a removal of some pretty large reductions there's just no need for it :)

    Overtightened sprocket snapped off ms194t, fixable or toast?

    Hi mate! Thanks for the response, I've been quoted by my local shop and I'm going to go ahead and get it done. It's a great saw, I just modified the muffler, had the timing done and a full tune up by the shop and it was running unreal until I broke it! I'm an apprentice and I'm slowly...

    I think I over tightened the sprocket back on as when I've started it up again after doing some maintenance etc it's snapped off the bolt below the thread
