192T Question

Just a quick question. Does anyone know the price of the 192T easy2start. I went on the Stihl website, and did the online dealers with pricing, and they don't give a price, only a price for the regular 192T, which was $299.95. Any ideas of the easy2start is higher or lower than that price?? Thanks!!
 
I don't know anything about the easy start thing but a 192 is a very usable saw, good price too. There ain't nothing like the 14,000 or 15,000 RPM you get from a 200 though. It's a completely different animal... very precise.
As long as you're looking at climbing saws you should also check into the Husky 335 top handle. I've only used one once but it was a good saw.
 
Thanks Jim and Blinky. The only reason I'm wondering on the easy2start thing is I heard, in the tree, it's just really easy to start with it.

And as the Husky's go, I would love to try one one day, but sadly, there is no Husky dealer near us.

And yes, a 200 is nice, though, for what I'm doing right now, a 192 would work way better than a 200. (Plus, we already own 5 200's, so I thought I would try and go outside the box)
 
The new easy start 192T is the easiest to start saw I've ever used. It feels like it has super low compression because of how easy it is to pull the cord. My initial thought when I first tried to start it was that this thing is either a piece of junk or it is broken. But that quickly changed with some use. Once the saw is warm, a lot of times you barely have to pull the cord to get it to fire which when you are constantly starting and stopping a saw really adds up after a while.

I will admit though that one of the new 192s within a few days of use the stop switch stopped working but that is an easy fix.
 
I have two 192Ts one with the easy start and one without. I prefer the easy start. I would have given a lot to have a saw of this quality and these features when I was learning to climb.

The price I paid for the 192T with an easy start was just under $300.

Easier starting? Wow.

Picking a chainsaw is creating a relationship. You buy it from a local dealer, they're more welcome to support you.

Like the aforementioned, check out the Huskie. Both H & S have a different feel and balance, which become transparent after a few days use.

If you've ever run an Echo, they're true to their name-- bad memories keep coming back. Glad to see they're not on your shopping list.

From my experience, my 192's (and other Stihls) have broken in, cold start its generally choke, two pulls and it will pop or go into idle. One more and it goes. After warmed up, its less than a full pull.

I don't mix my own gas (bureaucracy foo), so I'm at the mercy of the shop tech or whomever thinks they know. Usually tweak the carbs early summer and early fall due to different gasoline configurations they're selling here in Dallas.

Learn how to keep the chain in good order. Get yourself the correct Pferd chain sharpener, too.
 
I just bought a 192T and have been having trouble with carb adjustments. Usually don't mess with the factory carb adjustments much, but this saw wouldn't stay running at idle. I bumped up the low a bit to solve this problem, but the next time I used it, it was idling way to high. The only thing i could think of was the altitude difference between the two separate time was about 6,500 ft.

Thats quite the difference! I would say that is definitely your problem.

Why? Simply to spend another $320 when you already have many 020's. Doesnt make sense. 192's are slightly lighter, thats about where it stops. To me it would seem like a huge waste of money to buy another less powerful climbing saw. IMO.

First, because they take some abuse in the field, like for instance, the chain might not always be sharp, starting problems, etc. Second, they all belong to Dad, and even though I have free access to them, I'd still like a saw I can call my own, especially since I'll be driving soon, and Dad may begin passing some small jobs my way, something that's not worth him bringing the whole chip truck/chipper/flatbed. So, it'd be nice to have one that I know what's it's been through, and maintained well, and that I always have access too, since the 200's and 020's are always going out every day.

I think if you can afford it, you may be better off with the 200T. As you get more experienced with a saw, especially in the tree, you will want the extra power of the 200T.
$0.02

I agree. A 192 is acceptable but a 200 is THE saw. No way I'd try buzzing off a big pine top with a 192, it just doesn't have the guts you need to reliably burn through the backcut without bogging.

Agreed. They have alot more power, and are also very well balanced. If you get to chunkin wood that is very big a 192 will wear you out. 200's dont talk back, very torquey. Also Husky 338xpt are great. Several of my guys use them and love them. imo
