Wiley, your the first I have heard say that you touch I at all?

 

[Cut4fun]

You guys that are saying your dealers have T540 since last year and this year in US. Are you sure you are looking at the right saw?

I keep asking my local dealer when they can order one no response yet. I realy look forward to it. Till then I will keep using and enjoying 335/8 and still be a happy tree climbing fool

I must of got a good one. Once I figured out how to run it, it beats any 020/200 I've ever had in the cut.

So how does one run it?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Secret must be in the trigger finger

Much like a wheel chock I would suspect.

 

[Burnham]

Nice Guy Dave has a super secret method, no doubt.

I just read this post and hope the guy is right for you climber guys.

(I had mine = 201 modified just recently....massive improvement, different saw altogether. Having said that, I just had a stock husky 540 demo saw for the day....absolutely annihilates the Stihl. The king is dead....)

 

[Husabud]

Good to hear they are demo ing that saw. Any news to its release? I still have my two shiny new 200 Ts on the shelf, but I could probably offload one here and get one of those if theyre that good.

I'll take it Bud, if you decide!

Already posted above in black. So husky says. Dont hold your breath.

 

[Husabud]

I'm not. Do they really have floppy caps or are they just toolless?

Excellent, and in line what Reg Coates said about the 540 as well--though it was a second hand report,...

Did Brad do your 201? A Wa. arborist had his done, he felt it simply got it up to the 200T's level with muff screen out.....Reg had Donny Walker do a similar job on his 201.....he now thinks it's good enough, but not massively faster.

Pics were posted by a dealer and it is his demo unit he cant sale any till Oct from my readings.

 

[Husabud]

Ah well. At least I tried.

 

[Cut4fun]

See if your dealer got a demo unit in.

 

[rskybiz]

I keep bugging my local shop also. Thanks for the photos of some details.

 

[Aclarke]

Kevin did you run the demo saw?

 

[Cut4fun]

I wish.

No I havent Adam. I'm just keeping tabs on this.

Have you seen any out your way? I heard they are being demoed in the NW

 

[Aclarke]

Kev, not yet, looking forward seeing how they run. Tested a new 201 vs a well used ms200 and it was almost 20% slower in a 10" piece of hard oak despite being rated higher Hp
