Is the T540xp on sale

[Horatio]

Anyone got an update, please.

My 201 is playing up yet again, my 150 is running like a dream on the upside.

Cool, cheers for any replies!

I've had my t540 for a few weeks now and I love it! It runs really nice, plenty of power behind it. Compared to the 201's I've used I'd say its a better saw good to cut with and feels nice in the tree (not saying a 201 is bad just that its better) I've let one of the guys I subbie for use it up In the tree for a day, his verdict was "it feels just like a 200". having said that it may not last as long as a 200 as they where pretty solid! I have a few problems with the design of the saw, firstly the primer bulb, in other saws like the new stihl 150 the primer bulb is in a slight recess the 540 doesn't have this making it more vulnerable to getting ripped off. The air filter cover doesn't sit quite flush with the body of the saw theirs a slight gap all the way round it this means that more crap will get in and clog the air filter up, and that if someone less careful is fuelling the saw up they could quite easily soak the filer in petrol probably not good for it!

 

All in all I'd say its a smashing saw and I love using it.
