I applaud your efforts running a saw at arm's length one-handed, and the splitter too. I am throwing out a link to one of the best examples of pro-tree work and knowledge, who posts on youTube regularly, and has been at it for 35+ years. I believe he covers, in his many vids the different saws he uses, especially ones like the 200T and other brands like Echo too. If you search his channel, you will find them. Here's one of the funnier ones about his work ethic, etc, and probably a 200T, or similar Stihl almost ruining his day....

My question to you: why not have guy who broke your saw, buy you a new saw?
Also consider looking for a 200T in local pawn shop or similar venue? I was lucky enough to find both a 190T and eventually a 200T in the same store a number of years ago....
One last thing, might I suggest you at a minimum wear a helmet with face mask and muffs. Your position to the log pile and one hand use of that particular saw put you in additional danger from kickback and a helmet could save you from wearing the chain in your face...Just saying...

The brief reading I did on the subject and apparently the 201t is a real dog stock but a few mods wakes it up to equal or better than the 200t. Your enthusiasm is amazing. I delivered firewood to a guy that was probably 30 on disability for unknown reasons. He obviously wasn稚 very disabled because he stacked the load of wood.

Thank you, I do more than most people that have all their limbs in working order. I raked four feet of snow off of two buildings today, gonna be sore tonight.
Ya I have read the 201T can be altered some to make it better. I did a couple of mods on my 200T and it did make it more powerful. One handed I had to hold on tight..

Thank you and I normally do wear a helmet with a face shield and muffs, my wife came out and wanted to take a picture so I picked up the saw and cut into a piece of wood for that reason for her to show her mother.

The guy that ran it over offered to buy me a new one but he is guy that I call and he comes over and does things that I simply can't do and never will he take a dime from me. He has been doing so for 14 years. He is invaluable to me and feels terrible about it, I told him no big deal..

Been reading on the CS-355T, sounds like a good saw, Hope I like it when I see one, almost half the price of Stihl or Husky. I would hope it would stand up to cutting firewood.

I take it easy on them, I cut until I can't move around because of the rounds all over the place which is about 30 minutes, shut it off and split for a while. After all they aren't designed for cutting firewood.

On edit: I see nowhere to buy an Echo locally, nothing at all..
