I try to keep it pretty simple, I certainly have a few more tricks in the toolbox but this is what is pretty much always in use (minus the spikes) or on the saddle. Anything else can be substituted before a climb or sent up.

You should have touched it too.

Seriously though, its my favorite top handle by far. Ive been issued 201's and 540xp's and still choose to run one of my personal 355's. The Husqvarna will out cut it, but when you factor in how much you have to pull and rev it before it will cut, you'll be ahead with the echo. Less vibes, easier starting and similar power for almost half price. Better ergonomics and balance in every direction IMO.

I agree. Same deal with me, I usually use my personal 355T rather than deal with the company 201T and T540 that are are a pain to use most of the time if not broken. Echo starts more reliably and I like the balance and ergonomics better too. I'll use the company 192TC for pruning usually and the company saws for big removals, but for most daily use I enjoy using my 355.
