Don''t get me wrong on this issue of idling between cuts. I've seen dozens of old school vids/ vhs's of climbers letting their saw's idle away hanging below them on a six foot leash. I laughed at them thinking they were fools...... Just another reason to go all electric when all's said n done...

A 14 inch bar on a 200's hardly extreme, and wood's wood regardless of species...... If the saw needs to be idled between cuts, the friggin owner's manual should say so up front..... Jomo

Many years ago when my 200 mufflers were rattlin off n breakin into pieces, I got ticked off enuff to call Stihl's US headquarters to find a solution cuz the conical lock washers fix wasn't workin. He asked how big the wood I cut with the saw was? I told him big up to 26 inch usin a 14 inch...

Echo's are great dependable lightweight pruning saw's. But fall short of a 200 or 201 on removals, IMO. Jomo

A new 200T in the box would be worth serious coin.....maxin out at about 1500 USD. My new 201T has performed well, but the anti-vibes way too loose n weak, and needs serious firming up. The 200T's still the best removal top handled chainsaw ever made! Too bad their mufflers invariably rattle...
