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:)

Hi Ed, I called and texted you before, I have just had a return text saying 'sorry you have the wrong number' good job you saw this post mate

Hello Mr Draper:001_smile: One reserved for you here behind the counter. Here from 0800-1700 tomorrow or 1000-1200 on Saturday. Or we are here today until 1700.

Just received a delivery today!! Husqvarna-T540XP-Chainsaw-Top-Handle-XP-Professional-Chainsaw. Excited as a kid at Christmas! Been waiting for this saw since the APF 2010. I Cant wait to give it a try out tomorrow. We will have a demo one in the shop, not for lending out though I may add :001_smile:but your more than welcome to come and give it a try out in the log yard. Gotta go and give it a bit of a blast now!

I keep meaning to post this one up as it is a cracking bit of kit!! Although we have always sold Ghillie and Kelly kettles the MKettle is a fairly new addition to our shelves. It is produced by the same company who makes the Ghillie kettle so you can be assured of its quality. It is a fantastic compact little kettle that can easily be clipped onto your belt and since it has a rubber stopper the water can be carried in the kettle. The MKettle - Ghillie - Brands Its ideal for a brew on the go, especially as it seems that winter is already drawing in!

I know it's a bit odd! We only found out through this thread and had to call Husky to check it out! Ah well FINALLY some good news to give the lads who preordered:thumbup:

The stihl bg86 by a mile Used both, the stihl got nicked from a job so got a husky, vibes are very bad on the husky.

Cheers for the info. It does look like a really nice phone. Surprised at the HTC, I thought it was on par with the s4 looks like I will side step that one!

How bad is the speaker? I would be mainly using external speaker for sat nav rather than music/videos etc. It's the xperia, the galaxy s4 or HTC one for me, just trying to decide which one!

That about sums up the feedback we got when we contacted customers about the recall. We didnt manage to get our hands on alot of ZZ's but the vast majority, if not all were disappointed they had to hand them back and have asked to go on a preorder list for the next ZZ. Even the ones who didnt manage to get a ZZ are still very interested in buying the MK2. I dont think Petzl will have any problems selling the MK2 version at all.

We have the Edelrid Micro 0 and Micro 3, the 0 is indeed very tiny! Edelrid Micro 3 Carabiner - Edelrid - Brands Edelrid Micro 0 Carabiner - Edelrid - Brands

Was the 540 you had a demo saw or one out or testing? Reason I ask is last I heard from husky(last week) is that the saws out for testing which includes a revised one for the 2014 emissions have gone back to Sweden for evaluation. so hopefully:001_rolleyes: there may be some news soon. So maybe give it another year or 3 and we might have one.

The emission change in 2014 is the reason for the latest delays with the 540XP, they are trialling two different versions of saw, one that meets the new regs V the the one they were going to put into production. If they dont hurry up then they might be well and truly too late. If you mean stopping the sales of new top saws on ebay then that shouldn't be going on anyway. Although its probably the sales of used saws that cause more problems I imagine. It was from a Husqvarna newsletter, who are taking it quite seriously. Hopefully the AA guys will have a bit more info on it and maybe it is just another fruitless attempt to ban the saw. Although I know they have tried a few times to ban top handles (and we do have organisations like the AA to thank in helping the HSE see sense as far as im aware)I always thought it was just the UK HSE whereas this comes from the EU so maybe it will have a bit more of an impact.

They are looking at banning top handle saws.

Something I read today that could concern a lot us us. “There is growing concern in the EU from several Market Surveillance Authorities (MSAs) that top handle chain saws are being offered for general sale to members of the public instead of being restricted to professionals. Therefore, MSAs have placed an item on the agenda of the Machinery Directive Working Group administrative committee meeting in June to discuss the banning of such products. As you may know up until recently the UK has been portrayed as a shining example of how the industry selfregulates in this area. However, it would seem that the position is changing with some of these products being offered for sale on the open market.” That is all the info I have ATM but hopefully some of you can shed a bit more light on the subject. It does say its only being discussed in June and I dont know how long these things take but I hope we all will have a chance to voice our opinions on the matter.

Has a simple pressure/vacuum test been carried out? I would have presumed it has but sometimes simple things can be over looked. Ie slight air leak around base gasket or intake manifold.

Jon, just go and buy the 560!!!! You post in every 560 thread, you know you have to get one. Just see your local dealer on Monday, hand the dosh over and be done with it. Read the manual and run it up as it says as that sets up the autotune. You know it makes sense.

Lyon the Uk Petzl distributors have now issued the recall of the zigzag. There will be a pack sent out to customers who have purchased the zigzag with instructions on how to claim for a refund. We will post more details later today.

Just a quick update to say we have received an email to say that Petzl are still working on a solution to the problem which they should publish later in May.
