i think a medium sized battery saw with umbilical cord and the backpack batteries with drastically more cells them the hand held BLi or AP batteries

Thank you very much. Very happy to be able to help somebody out!

I'll have a look into that tomorrow. Did not try to take the sparkplug out yet, but logically it should be easier than having to dismantle half the saw....

@@DUTCHHUSKY66Treesandforest ive managed to get the spark plug wire off, just on very tight, the spark plug is easy to remove after that

@@hcwaffles8912 great job! I'm currently running battery 542's, couldn't check yet

It comes standard with a .325'' ring sprocket, on the clutch drum, that can be swapped out

I agree though its probably not much work replacing it.... You'd probably could do without, but you'll be pulling the starter a whole lot more often to prime the saw in that manner.

Indeed, with a soft hand, the t540i would be my preference, I mainly prune. For take downs the 542 is a faster option. Heavier, noisier, more vibration, but also slightly stronger

@@DUTCHHUSKY66Treesandforest I'm really not convinced it is based on your video? the clutch seems to be giving an illusion of more power when really, is it just allowing a heavy handedness with no stopping (no criticism) - the motor/power appears to be the same. The million dollar question is... can you swap the clutch assembly over from the T542iXP to the T540iXP? I'm expecting a No to that question but you can see my point!

@@angelwars3176 I haven't done a torque test, it feels a bit more torquey, but it is nothing world shaking differently. It could be a similar engine with similar power, just allowed more power through the chip. The clutch makes that possible, because the slipping startup prevents stuff breaking. Left of right, I don't know if it really more powerful. But it seems/feels a tad bit stronger. It was disapointing though, because I expected a world of difference, and did not get that. I do like the better clutch cover and other minor tweaks. My biggest concern with the old saw is the break system that keeps filling up with crap after which it fails and stays on 'brake' mode. I have to disassemble and clean that weekly. Hopefully the new saw is better constructed.

@@DUTCHHUSKY66Treesandforest added to my last comment - could you swap the clutch assembly over from the T542ixp to the T540ixp?

As far as I am aware, yes. I buy all my gear commercially at the dealer, pay for it with my own money. I don't know specifically per country if they are already everywhere, but if they are not available yet, they will be shortly!

@@DUTCHHUSKY66Treesandforest Thank you for your kind response. This is South Korea. It hasn't been officially released, so I'm going to buy it on the website, but I can't find any place to sell it on Google 🤔

@@user-yu1rk6pz4u i have no clue about a possible release date overthere. I am guessing it should not take too long...

Definitively better, more sturdy. The ones I have now tension very well. But, also those magnesium cover tensioners van have a misalignment in them (might be the screw), that with some will slacken the chain. Happened more often with the plastic cover, but also had it with a few of those magnesium ones. Simply send it back for an exchange.

@@DUTCHHUSKY66Treesandforest thanks for fast reply, can’t find anywhere selling the 542 in the uk yet but I’ll be getting the cover for it to put on my 540 when I can

@@DUTCHHUSKY66Treesandforest (t542i xp) Can I buy it on the website? It's in South Korea, but it's not available until the second half of next year 😂

@@user-yu1rk6pz4u maybe you could try internationally.... but it could be a heavy import fee.

@@jameshancock18the first production run of the saw had a texture issue with the plastic behind the ‘square’ part of the tightener dealers can check for SN and offer updated free clutch cover if affected.

My pleasure, that bit in the end was a surprise to me as well hahaha

Мені теж сподобалось,що з 542 підходить на 540 кришка. Який номер кришки на 542?

@@user-bi9cn2gb1j Good day, I haven't been able to find a workshop manual yet. I'll try to look that up for you!

Hopefully fixed quickly with a software update...

@@DUTCHHUSKY66Treesandforest What happens if the saw is ported? Can they still do a software update? Just curious? I mean, it's brand new. I made 2 cuts with it. What's your opinion? Thank you.

@@br-dj2ti apparently the port very well! Software updates should still work! There are several videos up with ported saws that run like a dream!

@@DUTCHHUSKY66Treesandforest Thank you buddy so very much. I should get it back in about a week or so. Is it's a beautiful saw the 2 cuts? I made with it that thing ripps.

More torque is possible because of the gentle startup with a clutch. If you would apply it directly into chain and bar without a clutch, they would get ripped apart. I'm not to happy with the 542 I got. I am mainly pruning with these saws, the vibration in the 542 would damage the hands with full days of work. Hopefully they'll fix this soon. I really like the concept.

About the hesitation... it almost seems like it cannot choose between running forward or backwards.... I've heard of some occurrences where they would do that. Very strange....

And yes, I am using it with the 200x. I asked about the new batteries. Expectation is that they will arrive somewhere third quarter of 2024.....

@@DUTCHHUSKY66Treesandforest So is this a more powerful/tweaked motor compared to the 540i? I don't know because Husky are not clear about this. I don't agree a bar/chain will rip apart - think about a 20" bar/chain on a husky 572xp petrol saw with massive torque, you can run this but the chain will stretch and need constant adjustment.

@@DUTCHHUSKY66Treesandforest longer run time at the same weight would be a bonus!

There is some more torque. So somewhat stronger, but I did not find it a huge world of difference.

@@DUTCHHUSKY66Treesandforest Thanks for the reply! I have a 540i and trying to decide if It’s worth upgrading.

@@inlinesix1187 my pleasure mate. If you prune a lot, stay with your 540, if you take down trees a lot, it might be worth upgrading. For pruning long days on end, I think the 542 vibrates too much. The 540i, especially with the sp11g bar and chain is hard to beat for pruning.

My pleasure mate!

Well, it is a bit so so... had my fourth software update already, and it still runs a bit awkward. Not too bad, but certainly far from superb

I indeed compared the 3 to the 1, since that is what I have. Never had the second generation, so I compared the 1st generation to the newest. I too like the battery stuff, but petrol still has a good grip on my heart.

Hi there, you are right, it is a 12 inch, it was what they had in stock now. I bought my 2511 tes with a 10 inch 3/8 low profile that I swapped out for the 10 inch 1/4 set. I don't intend the echo to be used as a take down saw, it's just for pruning. The t540 mark 3 isn't up to speed yet, I'll make a video about that soon. Somehow I can't get it to run right. But when I do I'll slap a 14 inch on there.

@@DUTCHHUSKY66Treesandforest Oh my. Hopefully they fix it soon. What is the issue? There is another video on here saying this new saw doesn't run right. I intend to get mine in 14" or 16". Haven't decided yet. I prefer the "i" but I don't cut enough to make the 2x investment worthwhile.

@@DUTCHHUSKY66Treesandforest Unfortunately my dealer is out of stock on 14" so I only have 12" and 16" from which to choose.

@@user-im2dt6oc3u that is why I got the 12 inch as well. It ran to high, grabbing the clutch slightly idling. So I tried the recalibration. 5 to 10 mins idling and than a 90 sec full throttle along a log. Now, it just shuts off after every full throttle.

@@DUTCHHUSKY66Treesandforest It sounds like they haven't fixed the basic problem with this saw? what are they playing at?

I.also run a t540i xp. I do like the saw, but the weight distribution of the battery causes my elbows and arms to hurt. I have less of these kind of problems with the petrol variant. Curious about the soon to be released new t542i xp with the new battery series!

@@DUTCHHUSKY66Treesandforest the T540i is lighter and you don't have to pull start the thing so i don't understand your problem with your shoulder (i'm 57). The T542i platform sounds interesting but i don't get how a clutch will improve things. You just need to soft handle these saws.

@@angelwars3176 hi there, i think the weight distribution of the battery causes some pain in my elbows. I don't know why, I have noticed the pain staying away when only running petrol saws. Maybe they are heavier to steer around onehanding, I don't really have an answer. I do still use the battery saw a lot, but also love petrol saws, especially for take downs. For light pruning I often grab an echo 2511 tes, lovely little machine. The clutch on the 542 I guess, will give a slower chain start so they can improve on the full power torque, because there will be lesser stress on all the parts when starting a run. And the feel might be more familiar, but it's all a guess, since I have never seen or touched one yet. Have a great day!

You ever do a 6 to 8 hour days in Trees? You going to need at least four battery's. I would rather buy 3 of the Husqvarna T540 XP Mark III for the same cost as one saw and four battery's.

@@ThatRUclipsbloke Not for years, but if I did i would definitely not be using a petrol saw. Noise, fumes constant pull starting! (unless you're one of these folk who just leave it on constant tick-over..) Two batteries will do, you simply recharge one while using the other. The BLi200X batteries charge up in 50 minutes on a QC330 charger or at worst you can rig up in vehicle charging.

Power, not having to invest in 3 batteries + charger and have access to power where you work, cooler if youre a redneck, etc

Yes sir, there will be a follow up soon! I might also be in the market for a rear handled saw. Nice and light, for both pruning and a bit of carving!

I'm still running it, bought it as a kit. 2 chains, a sprocket and a bar. I like it a lot. Seems to wear less than the panther. I run it on a t540i xp at the moment. Still fiddling a bit with the filing/sharpening. I feel there is more speed to be gained, so I'm trying out different file thicknesses, different angles and such.

Great! We still enjoy it everyday in wintertime!

Dag Bjorn, Er zijn speciale vijlen voor te koop bij de vakhandel. Ik gebruik gewoon een platte vijl die ik ook voor de dieptestellers van de motorzaag gebruik. De hoeken staan op de verpakking waar het zaagblad in geleverd is. Je kan het ook opzoeken op internet.

Dutch isn't that different from other Germanic(saxon) languages indeed

@@DUTCHHUSKY66Treesandforest Thanks. I was kidding. I didn't understand any of the Dutch.... I knew it was not Swedish, i was kidding.

@@adelarsen9776 no worries mate, could have been that you did understand it . I've been to Denmark, Sweden and Norway, and I can understand most when they talk very slowly.

@@DUTCHHUSKY66Treesandforest Norwegian can understand Danish and Swedish but not Dutch

Hi there, About 20 cm, that would be less then 9 inches.

Well, I see it more and more on RUclips already. They roll them out the factory in batches of a 1000 per time, so it won't be long before any modded saws show up. Outside and inside. Hotsaws 101 seems pretty skilled in porting these newer types. Exterior parts can be done with brand products by just about every owner. What I don't understand though, how and why are they working with 2 different producers for their light bars. Same lay out, 2 brands. Tsumura for the european market, sugihara for north America.....

@@DUTCHHUSKY66Treesandforest Yes I know there pretty new on the market sure we will see a West Coast logger set up...full wrap handle with aggressive dogs...you said that they are putting both brands of Japanese light weight bars on the saws that's interesting maybe there's a COVID storage or just trying both out see which one holds up better....Yes hotsaw builds some nice saws..use to work on my saws in the 80s and 90s...port and air systems..these days the factory saws are much improved.. don't mess with much any more.. ...power vs longevity...want my saws to last....thanks again for the response take care be safe in the woods.Shoe

@@robertshoemaker6204 from what I've heard, a good ported saw will have more air and fuel with oil through it, thus make it run cooler, which will improve its longevity... Here in europe though not many are ported. No one really does that professionally here, nor does our wood require it. Those bars might indeed have something to do with covid. Not enough workers per factory to make it happen in time, so that might explain the use of both those brands. They are not fans of each other though, I've written to yugi sugihara some years ago. Talked about their bars, and also mentioned the tsumura brand. After that he sent me an internal info sheet on why the tsumura's aren't any good in their opinion. So I am curious how husqvarna works around this rivalry. Been nice talking to you! Stay safe !

@@DUTCHHUSKY66Treesandforest Yes great chatting with you...so my experience with porting saws...yes you get more power out of them...I liked a mid port job the saw will last so much longer a max type port job...no doubt tons more power but saw life is greatly diminished...these new saws the Stihl 500i Husky 572...seems like the factory already has them pumped up pretty good of course you can work on them an squeeze more power out of them but at what cost to the longevity of the saw. Yes Hotsaw seem very knowledgeable when it comes to a build. Also where you at I'm in Southwestern Oregon. Shoe

Thank you very much. Not every pole saw blade can be sharpened. I don't know if yours can, and if it works the same. Just Google silky sharpening instructions for more info on how to sharpen the silky saws!

@@DUTCHHUSKY66Treesandforest Great info! Thanks!

In euro's somewhere in the 1500 to 1600 range, depending on bar length, handle heating and such

😱😱😱😱😱😱 it such a nightmare for me I’m scare of it. If somebody touch it accidentally it will be trouble.

It went nicely, happy about the way it went I'm mostly up on work platforms for pruning along roads, so it feels great being able to cut one like this, every once in a while.
