I agree with u there the 200t is by far the best. Been using a 192t here and think it's a brilliant little saw to

There was another good point and that, on the fuel tank it has a really clear patch on it so you can clearly see how much fuel is left in it. The on/off switch is good but it's flimsy. You only have to switch off and it spring back to on so it's constantly on if that makes sense

We have had 4 of them already. Husqvarna gave us 4 to test here in Sweden. They all got sent back broke and not working after a couple of months use. I would definitely stick with stihl for top handle saw. The bad massively out weighs the good. Quick list of the good to bad points.... Bearing in mind this wasn't down to abuse just Day to day use ; Chain brake snapped Side handle snapped from body Lanyard attachment point snapped On/off switch split in half Anti vibration spring on handle bends easily Auto tune has a mind of its own, will start revving faster on idle than when cutting :-s also with this problem you can't just start adjusting it your self it needs to be plugged in to a computer. Took one to a husqvarna dealer about it and they didn't have a clue what to do. Could see that be a massive problem. They seem to vibrate A LOT They came with a 14" bar which is far to big for this saw Some of the lads thought they where heavy Small point...choke is hard to put on with gloves..small switch on side of filter casing. Can be annoying as if you put it down for 2 mins you generally have to cold start it again. 3 out the 4 saws completely stopped working and wouldn't start again..the one that was left just had constant running problems. We all have a lot of experience here so can say we normally could tell what's wrong with a top handle when some goes wrong but on these saws it's just baffled us. For the good, It's a nice colour If it worked as it should it does feel a nice saw in the hand There is 3 of us lads sat here trying to think of some good points but we are struggling We have all written our views and opinions on the saws and was sent back to husqvarna. I hope they take them in to consideration and don't release this saw until the problems are sorted as I think they will have a lot of people disappointed and angry. I do believe it has potential though. We are not anti husqvarna either as we have husky ground saws! If stihl are sticking to this clearly weird and wrong policy about not being able to order parts over the internet ect I think husqvarna should hurry and sort this saw out.

Best thing to do is get a cv done and be honest about experience and capabilities...get on http://www.arbjobs.com or Google ect and start sending them out to all the companies or even ring them. Most companies abroad normally require you to have a few years experience.

Hello people, Im new to carving so please bare with me... I'm actually a climber but after seeing some of your pictures on here it inspired me to have a crack at it. I see so much good timber just going for firewood every day and seems a shame. I have started with mushrooms which I think I have got the nack of them now. Problem is I'm not sure how to give them the final touches. I see pics of really smooth and oiled ones. Mine are basically just done with the saw at the min. Here's a couple of questions I would like anyone to answer for me if possible, To get them smooth you use a hand grinder but what grit sanding discs do you use and do you do a certain grit one and then another? Once sanded which is best all round oil to use if they are to stay outdoors? If anyone could help would be appreciated, Thanks, Mike

Certainly am....bizz?

Haha yeh im bk on the 6th

Lighten up lads jesus

Small world....I'm working with them. Have been for about a month now north of Sweden.

Who's your friend? I'm in Sweden n all and think our company who we work for are the only ones who got them Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I have used it once and gave it to mate. Has a 14" bar on it that they sent and for me it's to big for saw...I think with a smaller bar it will be a nice saw. Has some grunt to it. What I will do it upload my review on it once I get a smaller bar and had some more tanks of fuel through it as its unfair to say bad things ectopic so soon without giving it a good run first .
