Stihl MS201

[ QUOTE ]
Here is a little comparison between the 200 and 201.

Video

[/ QUOTE ]Check the video between seconds 25 and 40. Maybe someone here can explain the mayor improvements of the 201 over the 200 to me.
I can come up with only one. No need to go to the gym after the day's job.
 
You know we could still rally to continue the 200. If the 201 doesn't prove to be everybody's favorite it could be like New Coke vs Coca Cola Classic. Could be the 200T Climber Classic. And the .... Signature Edition with the new oil cap.
 
Talked to the guy at the stihl dealership where I picked mine up and pretty much said it is because of the epa standards. The 200t just didn't meet those requirements
 
Dont worry they will re-release 200 just like they did with the MS440 with the new updated HD2 filter. Just have to wait a year or 2. Stock up .

So glad I was able to pick up another 200T. The 201T is a dawg!

[/ QUOTE ]If anyone is really keen on getting a new 200T they shouldn't just focus on the 200T.
When your supplier still has a back handle 200 in stock you can replace the new back handle with an old top handle that sits in your shed (or with new parts).
 
Never knew that about the rear handled version, interesting thanks.

The main issue I have with the MS201T is that it just doesn't feel as good to use as the MS200T. There is something about the MS200T that just feels better, so in that respect Stihl have failed with the MS201T.

In the Nederlands or the whole of Europe and the UK? How do you know this for a fact?

Off Topic - Wolter, why do some people call the Nederlands - Holland? most people in the UK call the Nederlands - Holland? why does your country have two names?

The whole country including its Caribbean islands is The Kingdom of the Netherlands. Holland is part of the Netherlands. I think the confusion comes from the capital being in Holland. This is what my friend from Curacao told me.

[/ QUOTE ]The introduction date is official for at least the tiny spot of the world between England, Denmark, Germany and Belgium called Nederland.

Off Topic Grover. Banjo summed it up quite nicely and almost right. The kingdom of the Netherlands is more than the little spot in Europe. In 'our' bad days 'we' owned more than just the Caribbean. Parts of America where part of our kingdom, Belgium and Indonesia and lots of islands over there where 'ours' too.
Where we live the country is called Nederland, but in the old days the western part of our country was covered with forest (in old Dutch this was called Holt). Holtland became Holland and Holland is just a small part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and also just a small part of the country called Nederland.

The main reason why we call our whole country abroad "Holland" is that we know how difficult it is for 'foreigners' to pronounce "The Netherlands".
