Iv had a recurring problem with a 540t pretty much new just wondering if anyone has had the same problem.

 

So a couple times the side casing has just come off and the chains jumped off when cutting. Today in a euc when cutting, the side casing burst off chain whipping all over the place bar fell out the tree was mayhem.

 

So yeah anyone else had this problem, its destroyed 4 chains now. When you go to put them back on a theres always one or two links that have gone stiff/ jammed.

 

cheers

Are you using the " Techshite " bar ? . My chain kept comming off and I found it was he bar de laminating . Went over/back to the older more robust bar that was fitted to 338/335 . Stopped happening then .

We have had a problem with one of these where it has been dropped and broken off chain brake handle mounting point, this means a new engine case and a lot of work. If it had been a 201T then it would be a fairly simple job to replace top handle.
