Stihl LMS201 or Husqvarna T540XP Top handle

[Tommy Hutchinson]

Any opinions on which one to purchase please.

[Adam Bourne]

its something that only a hand full of people can answer at this given time mate as the t540 is not available on sale yet, there are however a few people that have them on demo from husky them selfs but still a release date has not been confirmed. the 201 on the other had has had plenty of time to get some rating.... good or bad IMHO i dont rate it one bit but im sure there plenty out there that do..... its a tuff one to say for sure without having worked with the husky.....

Talked to a husky guy today in Sweden and i think release has been put back to about mid year/week 19 he was saying,i don't know if it will be any better,if its as good as the new 550 and 60 xp's ill be all over the husky! 201 is ok.

They've been on sale on the Internet for over 2 years now mate, there all just teasing trailer ads, you may be able to reserve one but I don't think a price has even been mentioned yet???

I don't think any one has got them on their sites for sale yet.

If I was going to buy a new top handled saw now it would be the new Husky electric saw.

Details are on FR Jones' website.

An advantage that I doubt anyone has thought of is arm fatigue.

I prefer to switch my saw off when climbing around. Saves fuel, communication is easy and I just hate the noise.

Of course, this means that pulling the starter cord dozens of times a day jerks all parts of the arms.

 

I'd prefer to just press a button.
