    t540 xp

    Even better is dealing with Bob of Ashokan Turf and Timber in NY. He's spike60 on Arboristsite.... He knows his saws and even has the prettier red and black Jonsy's!!! He sells 540's for $550, and 550's ( replaced the venerable 346...) for $450!!! I just got a new 338NE from a local fella for...

    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...

    By all means, open up that muffler! Braze in a 9/16" i.d. port, placed just below the framework surrounding the existing port, facing downward at a good angle.

    Relax, guys. You may be jumping the gun. The pic makes it look like it's just a flip up lever to get a better grip on the cap, not a complex doodad like Stihl's crappy designed caps.

    Hope so. Stihl's caps are for the birds. Reg, now on Vancouver Island, heard that some have the 540 up there, and that it is vastly better than the 201, and an improvement over the 338! Time for Husky to take the lead from Stihl, perhaps. The 562 clearly is the best of all the new breed saws.
