I see it’s listed on sale on Husqvarna’s website. If it’s being discontinued I want to order it, if not I would rather not spend the money right now.
Interesting, cause 543 has been OOP since last year, late summer or early fall. As far as I can tell, there aren't anymore floating around in warehouses.Dealer info 2024. Shows 3 on list but not 3120 yet.
Did you notice it says while supplies last on all 3. So if out their out their out where your looking.Interesting, cause 543 has been OOP since last year, late summer or early fall. As far as I can tell, there aren't anymore floating around in warehouses.
Very weird, as I've had dealers on both coasts tell me 543s are NLA with none in the warehouses.Did you notice it says while supplies last on all 3. So if out their out their out where your looking.
Quick search dealers still selling them online in STOCK too. Their everywhere still in that few second search.
Just shop online. Plenty shown in stock on the ones I checked.Very weird, as I've had dealers on both coasts tell me 543s are NLA with none in the warehouses.
In store supply may be a whole different ballgame.
Totally agree, and I also think you're right about the online. But yea, i purchased my first one at ~retail. Way overpriced. The last two I got from Bruce, pho, for about $125 less, and several years after my original one.If I was buying one of those 543. I would buy the Zenoah redmax one for the cheaper cost so not paying husky XP prices. Priced at what the xp should have been imho
Downside of 3120 is the fixed hi-jet, which can be drilled for extra cost. I think the front case often gets cracked, like on the 395s, but i could be mistaken.I still keep thinking about ordering one. The 385 mills pretty well on the single ended bar, but a 3120 would really move things along. Being on sale is really a significant incentive. Do they usually run sales this time of year?
It’s curious which models they choose to continue producing in Brazil. They still produce the 272xp along side the 372xp oe, as well as 288xp. Stihl even produces the ms260 and 361 in Brazil. I bet the 395xp will be in circulation for a while. It’s been a very highly regarded saw. I’ll always have one.Eventually, but I haven't heard this confirmed, unlike the 390 and 395 which are no longer in production for the USA market. No idea how long the 395 will be made in Brazil, or if they'll keep importing or not.

Most will say a 395 is plenty capable in North American woods, but as you say, a 3120 would really move things along.
I ran my third hand and gone-through, then well used by me, on the mill a fair amount. Did good. Outboard of the 395 would be nicer. 372 worked good for small stuff or the edging.
The question I would have is how would one go about getting it one?It’s curious which models they choose to continue producing in Brazil.

I get them. Look at the auctions. You’ll pay a bit of a premium though.The question I would have is how would one go about getting it one?
Just the bottom flange near the bottom of the oil tank, where there is a void for the handle/tank assembly. The crack is just cosmetic mostly, and is from the front of the saw getting slammed into the wood, I think. I’ve run mine (395) for quite some time and can’t see it happening based on how I handle mine.Case cracking from internal
Stresses or is it vulnerable and the saw heavy?
