New Husqvarna T525

[Mark_Skyland]

Just wondering if there is any feedback from users of the new T525?

 

There is a bit of info about the specs on our web site, link here Husqvarna T525  but some hands on use would be good. All I can say is it is heavier by 350g ish than the Echo Cs2511TES, same power on paper but feels more robust. The bar is more of a carving bar with a narrower tip than in the picture and the chain is a 1/4" 1.1mm H00 chain. It isnt the same size chain as the Stihl MS150.

Interested to hear some views as well. Is there a pic available of the bar? Hopefully its like the pointy 150.

Sorry for the delay but we have a better picture now.

 

Also a mistake on the chain size it is the 1/4"  H00 but it is 1.3mm gauge and not 1.1mm

Would also be interested to hear how these compare to the stihl range...[emoji848]

I’ve got one. Seems very well built and in the hand feels much nicer than the echo. Can’t compare to a 150 as I haven’t ever used one but do have a battery Stihl top handle but they are different purposes. The husky took a few tanks to loosen up but now it is a very strong saw with good low end torque. Had a race with my mates 2511 today and it beat it although the echo was slightly duller than the husky so not a fair comparison.

I’m happy with it but long term we shall see

Good to hear a positive review of Husqy top-handle as they are usually slated - pointy is good K

That's good to hear.

 

Thanks for the feedback, if it's better than the echo it well be a very popuar saw!

A lot of people who have seen the saw comment how big it is compared to the echo and I’ve got echo strimmers and I’ve never spent a penny on them so the reliability on echos side should be there. Will find this thread and update it once the saw is a month old it’s already took 70% of the work from my 200t.

Even at 350g heavier? That's no small amount.
