We received some new stock of the 560XP this week to discover they now come with the new flip fuel and oil caps. Husqvarna Fuel and Oil Flip Tank Cap For those who haven't seen them they they still screw in unlike the stihl caps so can be retro fitted.
-
Well apart from being disappointed as I'm a climber by trade and still do quite a bit that was also one of my concerns tbh. I'm sure some of the demo testers had ones with flippy caps! Our one didn't but that was a 2011 model. I've prob detailed the thread a bit so will leave it at that.
-
They flip up and screw in. Best of both worlds, maybe.
-
Unfortunately not. I spoke to husky UK the other week and atm there is no further info on whether they will be available in the future. Which is a bit of a shame.
-
Sounds like a dodgy switch. It should take a little bit of effort to push forward ie not had our one get knocked and turn off. Then it should spring back to the on position.
-
Some nice pics there. It is a cracking park and just down the road from me. When I'm back on the pc I will try to get a Google map up with an approximate location of the oak, which btw is very impressive. I've got some pics of it knocking about somewhere.

We have the HP in stock just dont have it on the web site yet. Its cheaper than the low smoke husky oil but the 1 litre doesnt come with the easy measure bottle.Low Smoke oil 1 Litre easy measure I cant remember the price ATM TBH but its at least a couple of quid cheaper.
-
That's the one. They won't be making them in yellow anymore only black from now on.
-
Probably drove past you going the other way! 6 hours of driving to get from Liverpool to Devon.(2 hours more than it should of been) M5 wasn't much better the M6!
-
I know I was just taking the piss a bit. Ive had one in bits, not too bad actually, IIRC there was an awkward bit with the linkage between the carb and the 'strato' bit but there is a knack that once sorted was very easy. I put it on some scales and bar 20 grams either way was the same as a 200T.(14"techlite bar on 540,stihl 14" bar on 200)

You need a right good slapping for saying that. T540xp is nice looking saw:001_wub: The spark arrestor was the first thing I was going to modify:thumbup: but have managed to hold out for a bit to see if it does make any difference.
-
I doubt theres much in it to offer any kind of a decent discount:laugh1: But, we are looking at getting more bundle discounts together on the web site so ill give you a shout if we sort it out. Excellent.
-
Had a check and the swivel wont pass the gate but will pass the horn bit. So it will sit at the bottom of the carabiner fine.
-
As someone already said the thicker band you get with the helmet should do the job. If you can't find it call into the shop as I will have a spare one I can sort you out with.
-
I think there's no chance but I'll check it out tomorrow for sure.
-
Here is a quick pic with pinto attached. Approx measurements Height 105mm Width 76mm(including rhino pointy bit) Max internal width 46mm Gate opening 20mm Hope it helps.

Cheers fellas, good to see not everyone thinks it deserves a and is a pointless waste of time:laugh1: Just noticed there was a few questions, sorry for missing them:blushing: So to quickly answer a few questions, The vibes arent as bad as they look in the vid. It is available now, if any dealers have them left that is!! PS3 chain, yup need to get a reel of it in, well actually looking at getting the new PS3(cant remeber the code of the top of my head) which doesnt have the over the top safety depth gauges. I dont have a new 201 to run against the 540, if I did I would have included it in the vid. Maybe when the 540 has ran in a bit I will sort a vid out with a 201. Been using it for the last two days and cant fault it, been using it in timber way over the bar size and it didnt miss a beat. Lets just hope it is reliable!
-
I knew someone would say this and did wonder how long it would take, didn't think it would be the first reply. We have been asked many many times how the 540 will compare to the 200 from lads who don't want to buy a 201, hopefully this will be more helpful to them.
-
A quick video comparing the saws in some timber. Not a true reflection of the saw in use but hopefully we can get some video of the saw doing some proper work over the next few weeks.
-
Didnt see your second post, yes that is part of the av rubber.
-
That flat washer bit has two flat sides. Get a spanner on them and unscew(anticlockwise) When you remove it you will see how the av rubber attaches. BTW yep thats the only part you need.
-
One of the lads is bring a HD pro in tomorrow for a little pruning job we have for a good but desperate to get the work done tomorrow customer. so I'll try and get some filming done. Only had a bit of a blast on it today setting the auto tune in some timber, I shouldn't really comment as not a true test of the saw and certainly not long enough but it did perform well. I suppose all I can say ATM is it ran great straight out of the box, will it did for about 10 seconds until i smacked a 6 inch nail on the first cut. typical:laugh1: so it ran great after I put a new chain on(I know, but at the time I just couldn't be bothered sharpening it:blushing:)
