Husqvarna battery top handle in stock

[josharb87]

I thought it was too heavy for what it is and the noise like nails down a blackboard!

[geoff]

Its a good little saw,& has a few advantages over petrol saws,such as quieter,faster run down off trigger,no pull cord to start etc,I was not overly taken by the balance of the saw.

But no way will it be a saw for a take down,purely for pruning,& for that I prefer the 150t by a country mile.

No way in this world does it cut as fast as a 200t,I have used both,so this is from the horses mouth.

 

Geoff, you are changing "as well" into "as fast". IMHO those two are two completely different things.

The 536 cuts way better than a 200t!!!

Sorry,But I dont quite get the point,other than it being a smaller chain,with less cambium disturbance on softer barked trees.

I would think a sharp chain with a fast speed is hard to better.

Aside from this,I have been reducing some maples today with the ms150t today,the pointed bar & very small chain,combined with good chain speed gave excelent results,I would like to see a similar 'carving bar' on the husky saw.

How does the husky saw compare with the likes of the 150t,or the small echo top handle on chain speed,& do you consider this relevent to cutting 'as well'?

We had a small field test with the 150 VS the Battery saw.

And with the Echo 260TES VS the 150

 

Echo beats the 150 and the T536LiXP beats both !

I think I'll put up a little vid one of these days with the 150 VS the battery saw ;-)

The vid about the echo VS the 150 is allready on youtube

Wouter,I would agree that the T536LiXP cuts faster than the 150t & 260tes,(I have both these petrol saws),I like the Husky cordless having had one on trial for a couple of weeks.I was trying to adress Treespotter's post,& I suppose my points on the saw are that I found it slightly back heavy,& would realy like to see a smaller/carving bar on it for precision cuts.

I very much like the Husky,& will consider buying one when it has been around for a while,& to see what competition turns up from the likes of Stihl.

My point Geoff is that the cutting of a saw is the sum of many factors.

Climbing and working without excessive noise is very easy to get used to. Picking my saw from my harness pulling the chainbrake back and starting the cut without me having to jerk off the saws starter cord too. Thinking straight at night is one of the other positives too. Those fumes coming out of a 536 are not that bad when you fill it with windmill powerrrrrrr.

Tweaking the carb... Duh.

Oh,I agree with you there,it is the way forward on the points you raise.

As Wouter has pointed out, I said "as well as" not "as fast as".

 

What the dealer meant that for a pruning saw, it will cut as well as an MS200t. Taking into account all factors of functionality, ergonomics and speed from harness to cut to harness, the Husky will do it just as well and as fast and has all the other benefits.

 

I'm sure it won't cut a log as fast as an MS200t. (I could be wrong)

[Gray git]

Its not far off as fast as a 200t, we raced them a few times last week in different timbers while I had one on demo

Up to about 6" timber not a lot of differance in when the logs fell, over this and the 200t started to show the extra power but big timber is not what this saw was designed for.

We also did some races of off the harness, start/turn on saw, cut branch, turn off, return to harness and the battery saw won every time by quite a bit.

If i get some spare money I will be getting one on order as found it prefect for street tree pruning which i do quite a bit off and as my mate pointed out no more burn holes in the leg.

and anouther pluss point is getting to take the piss out of the old school lads who forget and go to drop start it out of habit till they carnt find the starter.
