Husky 540xp who's got there's then?

[Stubby]

I have been (ab)using the T540 XP since november 2012 and been happy with it ever since. Never ever had a chainbrake snapped and no problems with the eyelet.

 

I have put this saw to the test for Husqvarna and used it just like I used my other saws before. Great power and the torque is even better compared to the old 200 T.

 

What happended to your saw is not good, and def needs to be sorted out by your husqvarna dealer. But when you handle the saw like a canonbal dangling around on its tail, like some climbers do I am not surpised somethings broke.

 

But can't read or insinuate that just by your story. Even the best chainsaw can't withstand being trashed trough the canopy like a canonball aye

 

Hope you will have everything sorted out and keep on smiling using this saw someday in the future !

 

Climb safe

 

Second that

I'll probably get one next, but I have had around 6 020s 200ts and now a 201, I can honestly say I do drag em around and drop them on the strop, I have never had one come off. It just shouldn't happen.

Exactly what I was going to say!!

 

I've been using 020's for the best part of 20 years and never had a strop attachment fail.

This is the only thing that has happened to mine . Not sure if it was pulling it up or leaning on it hard in a full bar cut to set the A/T ......

Sorry . Bent AV spring ...

Loving mine. Certainly feels more aggressive in the cut than a 201.

It's got the screw caps which I thought was a bit strange considering the oil filler cap on my T536 is a flippy style.

At least the Stihl can rapid oil filler fits it, just sits a bit awkward as the opening is slightly recessed.

Well that doesn't look like a deal breaker tbh.( the bent av spring I mean)

No . Might change it sometime but does not seem to affect at all ...

[Marc Lewis]

is there a heated handle model or any plans for one?

[Stubby]

Dunno ??
