    Husky 540 cutting and climbing

    Yeah, this reminds me of me every time our corporate safety-guy comes into town, like he will be TOMORROW MORNING! Thank God I don't have any removals. Tomorrow's three-hour safety meeting topic: Wildland Fire Suppression.... Man that will go over well with the boys this side of the...

    Yeah, I kinda want to dry the new redesigned 338. I guess they just fixed some stuff? Seems like it'd be a lot better than the 201 or even the 540 in stock form.

    Bone stock?... Go with a 540. Do NOT get a 201 in the US, unless you absolutely KNOW that it's a very late model.

    Yeah, I don't go into my Stihl dealer unless I absolutely HAVE to. Man, it's rough, and I always come out spending an arm and a leg for a couple stupid little parts.

    Wow: Is that possible to do with nasty, goopy 2 cycle oil mixed in? If so: :rockon:

    Man, Canuks are mean. Man, Justin's 540's must suck something fierce though. They CANNOT suck worse than the early, unmodded 201's. It's impossible for any saw to suck that bad. I'm starting to worship Reg Coates almost as much as Beranek. Truck + 201t= :rockon:

    Husky 540 cutting and climbing

    Yeah Justin: I'm a little ticked that the 540 doesn't seem to bring the goods really any better than the 201. I used one today to elevate a couple of Firs, and wasn't too impressed; and yes--it stumbled and quit more than once. How pathetic, that I'd rather use my hopped-up Echo 360t than...

    AHHHH!!! I stand corrected. Perfectly functional the way Reg uses it. Cory: Because you don't have to sit there sawing in a full diagonal all day long. Just use a little baby snipe about one third the depth of the undercut. Works great.

    Cory: Try it (the step or snap-cut) with a snipe in the bottom to let the chunk roll out more better. Also: make your last, and smallest cut (the one nearest you) LOWER than the main, and deepest cut rather than above it like Reg did. Won't grab your saw if you mess-up and lose it. More better.

    Man Reg: Thanks tons for the videos. My modded 201 is working o.k. for now, but my next saw is certainly the 540. Hey, I was wondering if you had read about Gerry Beranek's 18% rule. Let's say the Firpig is 120' and you can only bust a 20' top. Now the stick is 100' right? (This one is the...
