This is not really a choice; I recently got a good deal on a lightly used HT 131. But I am interested in hearing comments from folks who have used both.
HT 131 comes with a 12" bar and 3/8 low profile ('Picco') chain;
HT 133 comes with a 14" bar and 1/4" chain.
Both have the same size engine. I know that the shafts are different.
I am assuming that I can mount a 14" bar on my HT 131; the advantage of the longer bar is pretty easy to imagine. I also assume that I can switch to the 1/4" pitch chain; not as clear how much difference this makes.
The HT 131 comes with a 6 tooth drive sprocket, but lists a 7 tooth as an option (torque vs. speed); anybody have experience with both?
Thanks.
