New Husqvarna T540 XP Mark III Top Handle - When will we see it in the UK?

[Gray git]

Yeah I've had a 592xpg on order for over 2 year's

I'd hope this new 540 will be available a bit quicker else like others have said it'll make Stihl more appealing

🤣🤣 I think that when Husqvarna announced lunched the 592xp and customers decided they wanted one, it was the best advert they could  have given Stihl and helped to drive up the sales of the MS661 & MS881 when Husky couldn't deliver the product they lunched  🤣🤣 

bang on that! bought 881 but should have got 661 am getting old. Its bloody heavy lol

Well it has been a long wait for the New Husqvarna T540 Mk111 to turn up at my dealers (Tom's Mower's in Llandrindod Wells)..  If I am correct it has been a year since I ordered it.  But is here.. It is production No 21 of the initial production batch of 240.

I do note that it is made in Japan and not Sweden.

It's not over priced at all. The Stihl equivalent costs more.

Up until recently the Stihl one was over 100 quid cheaper. I really wanted the husky one but at nearly 850 with the vat from some suppliers and an unknown delivery date I nearly got the Stihl.
