Huskie 540XP finally!!!

[coleman]

Looks like its hit the shelves, honey bros have limited stock Shame i aint got the funds at the mo

[nz paul]

pray it doesn't have the problems the 560xp has had

[tree_beard]

my take is that it is now in the final testing phase...

 

when the user has spent their hard earned and is more likely to baby the saw, and less likely to thrash it to destruction and pick holes in everything like they would with a loaned test saw...

 

i'll be giving it a month or two, just to make sure it actually works like it should

you could be right there, ive heard conflicting reviews from people that used a test saw. I just pray its better than the 201.

Looks pretty good tbh. The price looks to be a tad steep IMO, I mean I know the 201 has it's problems but can the Husky make up for it with the £80 price difference??

My local dealers got the 201t @ £512.40 inc the dreaded vat

The 540xp @ £524.99 inclusive?

 

Are dealers really charging that much difference between the 2?

500 plus dreaded up here.

My dealer works out £437.49 without (12" bar) or the 14" is £15 more Do find them cheap tho compared to most.

I was looking on Honey's website and that was the price difference on there. I forgot about the fact that you can't buy Stihl stuff online anymore. God I dread to think the price my local dealer will have, being as it's a BTS shop.

Looked at Honey Brothers, but with postage I would be paying 10 more than my local dealer.
