Just shy of 600 for mine. Local dealer though, so when you add the ridiculous postage up to here I'm only really about 25 more.

14" bar on it.

Set the autotune today by running it through bar depth hard dead elm. Flippin' eck it can cut. So used to the 201 choking up, but this beastie didn't.

Snedded up the rest of the elm with it, to get a tankful through it. It didn't flinch once.

It'll be interesting to see how the plastics bear up to work in the tree.

Hello all.

 

I am wondering if anyone has found this saw getting very hot. By which I mean a large area of the casing. I bought one when they first came out a few months back, but after trying a few cuts on larger diameter wood (1ft ish) the casing all over, except the top, got so hot I wouldn't want the saw near my leg, or any other part.

 

The dealer was fantastic and took it back. Husqvarna not surprisingly were completely uninterested. I, and some colleagues as well are now looking again at the need for another top handled saw. Did I have a 'Friday' saw - was it a one off - I am hoping so as it seemd way better than a 201 - thoughts appreciated.
