Not sure if these parts are on production saws yet . I have pre production parts on my saw and it now can be dropped on the strop with no worries .

I'm going to buy a hop handle 540xp or sthil 201 wich one would be better eny comets please

 

 

Out of the two, my strong recommendation would be the Echo 360tes.

Equally as good as the other two but with out the risk of carburettor glitches (that are impossible for the dealer to fix, ever).

Also Echo don't make some parts of their saws from food.

The newer 201tcm seems to be a good saw, plenty of power. I got one at the arb show and am very pleased with it. The lad who works for me has the 540 and although the power is good, the build quality is very poor.

I would say the same as Marc, above,

Id moved over to the husky toppers but am now moving back to stihl, fed up of replacing stretching AV mounts before the saw snaps in half but the spring mounts occasionally go too.

 

I dipped my toe with a 201 while 2 of the husky toppers were in getting fixed at the same time, and must say so far (only 2 weeks) its been good.
