Stihl MS-200 Rear Handle.

Got a line on two of these, NOS, anyone got any opinions on worth?

 

I guess this would be the high end.

 

There's a used one that recently went for $750. It's odd to me that the most valuable saw I have is the smallest one.

 

Oh, wait... second smallest.

 

Pure luck that I got one. If I was smart I'd probably sell it, but I just can't do it. The 192 feels like a toy in comparison.

 

While walking the dog last night I noticed one of my neighbors had a Bradford pear that had lost a large branch, about 10" at its widest and still hanging onto the tree but draped across her hedges and garden. I offered to clean it up for her and she accepted, so after work today I took the 200 for a walk down the block and made short work of the pear. Man, that's a nice little saw.

 

Actually the chain I have on it is a 63PS3 from my local dealer. I would've asked you to make one for it, but I'm assuming the performance is pretty similar outside of bore cutting, no?

 

I tryed at a shot at your husky for sale no reply????

 

Whose Husky? I think KRL and I both have Huskys in the classifieds.

 

Oh, I bet you mean KRL's 562. That one is gone.

 

Yes jon1270 same on bucking cuts.

 

You know, it would be really great if someone who grokked chain design would do a comprehensive post with close-up photos illustrating how different sorts of rakers and safety bumpers function in various cutting situations. I wonder who we have who could do that...

 

Not sure. I'm curious about the differences between, for example, the PS you're selling and the more common PS3. I mean, I can compare them side by side and see the differences, but I don't really understand why it matters.
