Ms201t or t540xp

[combined tree services]

Been running 540's since they came out and very happy with them plenty of power and capable of cutting bigger timber which sadly we found that the 201 that I bought for the lads to try was nowhere near as powerful land could not be relied on to cut big timber quickly enough to be sure that you could rig down bigger sections and be sure they would sever quickly enough .

Aye the early 201 is just dangerous for dropping big tops and side limbs as well as rigging it's just a gutless heap.

If my 540 was a 200 it would of snapped a couple of chain break handles had at least one carb, earth wire or two , a chain break dog bone and maybe a carb boot in a year.

540's has a set of clutch springs although the saw strop connecter failed I should of replaced it when I got it as it was one of the recalled ones I just never got round to it.

Despite that it fell over 50ft bounced off a tree and sat on the ground ticking over.

And a rear anti vibe spring but that was through some one else using it and throwing it hard on the strop.... It will probably fall apart today now.
