Few months ago I got some advices from the experts here in the forum while wondering what new saw to buy. Well after using it a while I can say I bought the best saw for my needs. Here it is in action.

Glad it worked out for you. As I recall that little bugger cost a small fortune over there. Careful in the tangled mess.

It cost a lot indeed, but all the imported equipment cost a lot here in Israel, and we don't have a local chain saw producer.

Take care of it and you will surely get your money worth out of it, just take a little longer. Happy sawing! ;D

I wish I would of bought a 200 rear handle before they were gone. I have a 200t but I am thinking of getting a rear handle 201 and having it modded to perform like a 200. Glad to see people posting about the rearhandles andhope to see one modded on here soon. Thanks barak for posting it! enjoy that saw. ;D

I'm not modding my 201 first cause it is still on warranty. secondly I'm not an expert on mechanism, but I might get a friend's help and will mod it. what are the pros and non pros on modding?
