How many Mk3 t540 has he sold to be making that decision? 

dont know.

I had 5 T540 pre 2017 al were good, never any problem , i got a very good price and in 2017 traded them for 5 new one's.

Most of the time 3 saws are in for repairs. ( carb tuning not ok, carb not ok, mosty pistonrings are  worn after like 10 hrs!)

That's shite then. I just thought they were made out of cheese and that put me off...

 

I'm a stihl man tbh. I say a video recently.... can't remember if August hunicke or guilty of treeson..... but they were using a mk3 and it sounded absolute awesome! Thought to myself might have a punt at one of them!

 

 

As always with these things, let some bugger else be the unfortunate ones first 😉 find the flaws

They are getting good initial reviews. Some I have seen suggest the hot start issue has been resolved along with a few other flaws. 

Sometimes its the hype of it being new that gets people singing its praises. 6 months use climbing could see some flaws so I'll hold out like yourself. 

 

That said I don't need another topper atm and am looking forward to my 2511 returning which is away for porting atm.

I don't need one either tbh.... come April before tax return maybe 😆 

 

I'm still using a 2012 201tcm daily and a 2016

 

One thing I was glad of with the 201 was it got shut of the 200t carb issues!

luck of the draw I guess. my ported 200t has been pretty solid with very few issues. 201 is in kit form in a box and will never get rebuilt. Can of worms.
