is the new husky topper finally out?

[billyjohn]

Am I out of touch on this one

bought a husky 338xpt after years of echo and boy was I unimpressed

I remember the original husky topper at the apf show a lifetime ago not impressed then

but spoke to lots of guys and read lots of reviews about the 338 and thought I would give it a try after all these years.Wish I hadnt,although a good price at £350

Mark, the husq T540 never was. It was a figment of everyones imagination. Was all a dream that never was to come true:001_rolleyes:

 

It appears everyone will have to make do with the worlds best ever chainsaw instead. Its called the Stihl MS200t:thumbup:

 

what its not coming out now?

 

I was extracting the wotsit!

 

You guys need to realise, all this hype is what the manufacturers are after. They will not release a date until its virtually on the dealers shelves.

 

It all adds to initial sales. Manufacturers need this for the launch of a saw that has such a load riding on it like this one that is going to challenge the 200t(or the up and coming 201t)

 

Hope that explains my point better, I must have expected my Yorkshire wit was a little more transparent than it was!

so pete,how many you ordering

Hey Johnny, Im stocking up on 200's!

 

Neither the new husky or the 201 will do for me. Get some bought while you can get a good saw you can fiddle with and isnt the weight of a blacksmiths anvil!

I recently was talking to a Stihl demo guy and was telling me at present Stihl are fiddling around with micro chips to "manage" saw engines and will be very difficult to alter and tune beyond factory settings.

 

He also added the EU are currently trying to pass a law making "modification" of saws illegal, as this will be altering emission levels that are set by the appropriate governments.

 

Room for thought.
