News on the new husqvarna T540xp

[SawTroll]

Does anyone have an update on when this 540xp may be available?

Or will the introduction be delayed like the Husqvarna 560/562 saws?

The last news I heard was blaming the "silver" paint, but it is just a rumor.....opcorn:opcorn:

 

[SawTroll]

I'm up for trying either of them but I'll wait till they've been on the market a bit. I have enough 200T's to last me a fair while yet.

I still don't see what the rush is to strato the least polluting saws either company makes. 660's and 390/95, 880 and 3120 still gulping fuel but gosh darn we better replace those 35cc fuel hogs!

I "guess" it has to do with that number of units they sell in the different sizes.

I hope the 192 holds on cause Ima getting me one If it runs it will beat my 3 month old and broke 200toke:

My 338xp is due to be replaced soon...... I need to have a talk with Spike!

Surely, it looks like you need to! :biggrinbounce2:

I am beginning to think the 540 does not exist and everything that we have seen so far is just a CG wet dream.

After my local dealer lost the Husky line I have only used Spike.
Just holding my breath for the 562xpg, could be any time now!

The last rumor I heard was that the 560xp/xpg should be ready for sale here yesterday - I will call my dealer on monday - but that timing has been a moving taget since march......

 

[J.Walker]

I've been in no hurry for the 562xpg. Been stocking up on some other saws that are disappearing very soon.
Been saying to myself, how you tell me saws are dirt cheap over here

I just found this video of the 540xp.

I guess the Husky will handle better, as usual - but really have no idea - I don't care about top-handle saws! :msp_rolleyes:

They are, but you don't have to buy every model anyway........

Well my hopes of cutting this winter with a 562xpg are fading away.

Guess I'll be getting a 562xp till the xpg's arrive.

whats the deal with the 562xpg ? i run a 562xp good little saw ae!

Don't know if this has been covered yet, but I talked with a couple Husqvarna guys and the T540XP saws should be arriving in the US early October. I had my hands on one at a sales meeting not long ago and looks to be a good saw. No rear handle option as of now, but they didn't rule it out for the future.

 

[SawTroll]

I believe Spike said somthing to the same effect, in another thread......

 

[spike60]

I've got one, and it's the nicest top handle they've ever done for sure. (I suppose that statement is a great opening for comments about their past efforts, so fire away...........)

Seriously, it's real nice and may actually live up to the hype. I have it out to a 3rd generation tree service on demo right now, so their opinion will be one that I'll respect. For me to go and cut a few cookies doesn't mean much. The dynamics of climbing or bucket work are way different.

They should start shipping them sometime next month. My demo should be here at the GTG next week for any guys that want to mess with it.
