Thats awesome. I just ordered a t540i and a 395xp to get into tree work.
The Husky T540i Xp is the first top handle saw I ever bought. I love it way better then my company's MS200T. Thanks BTW for teaching some of the fundamentals of tree work.
I got one 4 months back and I love it! Then I put a 14inch panther bar and non anti kickback chain from August and boy it cuts even better! Thanks for sharing!!
Dang, even with the non chisel chain?
@@donaldlee255 I sale my gas stihl 200 after I buy the stihl 161T, is smaller but cuts quite fast and need no jerrycan, I also have the stihl 220C and the MSA300, for me the 161T on it's class is a work horse it comes with 25 cm bar and I change to 30cm no problem.
I got to use the battery powered husky the other day in a tree. I just really enjoy how quiet is compared to a 200 or 201. You can hear the ground guys even when you’re saw is cutting. Also love when you take your finger off a battery powered saw the chain stops!! Still hung up on the price though and having an extra battery and charger will run you the cost two 200’s
It's worth it if you can afford it. I enjoy climbing way more now that I've got one.
And you don't have to warm it up.😊
I have used both saws, thw gas has more torque but the rpm on the huskie are higher so just apply less pressure than a gas saw and you will cut the same speed. Its a little different and take some getting used to
Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 happy new year. I have Makita single battery top handle. I was a little disappointed at first. It’s good for what it is. Light and great for pruning. I own a few makita battery tools so I had extra battery’s. Definitely takes a little more Finesse. It beats us a hand saw on 3-5 in branches.
@Patrick what I really want to know is how they hold up over time. If and when the batteries get weak. If the chain keeps moving or stops all the time ( When it gets old) etc, etc
Please do a video on it at a later date. Maybe one at the end of the summers.
Thank you for the video.
I cant speak on this 540i but I've been running the t536i husky for 7 years , still on the 2 original batteries I got with it , I can remove an average 40' canopy with 1 battery , will cut a 12-16'' branch/stem if needed , only drawback I've found is in sub freezing temps battery drains a little faster , this may have been addressed with the new 540 ,
I have never been this early to chopping the morning wood 🪵
The crazy thing is... the ms200t was only marginally faster. I can't believe a battery saw could even come close!
Been running the T 536 for nearly 10 years, sold both of my gas climbers shortly after
We just picked up the Stihl battery saw at work and I’m pleasantly surprised how well it works, though from what I’ve seen the Husky might have the edge
that ash log is perfect size for inoculating with shiitake mushroom plugs. been doing it for last 15 years with oregon white oak.
Nice Christmas present! I really like the husky battery saws. Wish we had a better dealer network here. Echo seems to make a good battery saw as well.
Oooh...realy?? I love my 355t...
@@batmantiss check out the DCS-2500t
@@backwoodsengineer maybe they'll give a few to the guys stateside to review. Thanks for the heads up
Good vid nice 200t boss stihl got one its grunty an loud, got stihl electric climber. Didnt like it straight away. But just starts everytime is light an found works better if ya dont push it as i prob was on petrol. Like grandad said let the saw do the work, cheers
The way I look at it if it works for you and it makes your job easier and I think it's great I can't wait to try one
Power to weight ratio for the WIN. I like my 200t, but it's turning in to a unicorn. I don't like worrying about replacement parts for my stuff. And God knows i can't have nice things.
I’d like to double like this comment if I could
the little husqui battery saws are great, shockingly impressive for a battery saw...
The MS200 is a tremendous chainsaw. The battery powered everything is the future that I’m not looking forward to. I’ll miss revving that engine.
While I agree it's also nice to have less noise and not breathe in fumes
DATELINE: The Land of Seemingly Endless Tofu (Japan), central Nagano Prefecture, 1,500 m above sea level ~ I have just the other day bought a T540iXP and have used it a little tiny bit (one cut of an 18 cm diameter branch of an oak tree and then some other "bucking"). I am so happy.
I had a stihl tc192, loved it, I bought a husq 540xp gas I Love that saw too! I would show up to cut firewood with a couple buddies and at first they would laugh at me when I got the little saw out, until I cut circles around them and their "bigger" saws (one handed). I am no tree expert, but I do know my way around saws. Only factory saw I have now is my less than a year old 576xp. Which is a beast in a log
2:25 - 2:30 someone's been cutting on that log while the video was off 😂
Good observation. However, He might have messed up his wording, or farted,, dropped something or made a bad cut who knows, Infinite number of reasons to do a reshoot, when he tested both saws the wood was the same for each and he gave a fair test. Didn't matter he cut previous.
@@livestronger4344 I didn't assume why. I enjoy seeing editing clips. It'd be neat if he did a compilation of cut footage. Bloopers are usually fun and entrainment. Cheers
@@ScottWConvid19 fair enough, it was your emoji that threw me off. Enjoy the holidays man.🎄👍
I demo the stihl battery arborist saw for a week loved it just hate the extra safety button u have hold in tough if u cut with both hands
Just got mine. Wanted to wait for the T542i but 1.5 years is too long to wait for great.
Man the stihl has an Oregon double drag chain on it. Two rakers, it’s not as aggressive and more of a low kickback chain where the husky has a killer looking chain. That makes a huge difference. Appreciate the content man cool video
Good comment. Plus who is not going to run 14" on both those saws?
I'm surprised you put a safety chain on the 200t.
Torque and instant power are the advantages of electric motor saws and vehicles if the motor is big enough for the purpose.
The problem I see is time. With new saws come new batteries that often won't fit the older version of tool so they can sell more batteries. Where gas powered wont need to worry about fuel really as long as you can keep the the saw in running condition.
But either one will be fine if you upgrade regularly when needed.
But I am a 200t fan, even though I can't afford one now. The closest I will get to having a 200t again is the chinese clone of one. I bought the G111 clone of the 200t. Lol
Interesting video and like you said it will make a good pruning saw to save the wear and tear on the 200t. 😎👍
I can’t believe you said piece of ash twice. I thought this was an educational family channel. Lol. Keep knocking them out of the park here in southern Ontario.
Put a 1/4" set up on that Husky and she would really fly! 👍😎🌲
Nice to see you. Merry Christmas!
Hey Patrick can u do a video about pruning I watch ur videos you've helped me get back into tree work
What do think of the battery saw by now? I need some input I’m thinking of buying.
Great video Patrick! I will reviewing it as well on my UA-cam!
Where did u buy your I am on a dam waiting list and I have been using the 535 since they came out I love the bat saws
Moin
The Husqy is ab awesome batterie saw in my mind. Even I haven‘t had one in my hands yet 😢 .
Come over to the new year well and healthy, brother! 🤜🤛🤘
Greetings from Germany, Dirk ✌️🤠
Nice snow
I'd love to have one of those electric saws.
When you're working at a clients house do you secretly judge them based on their firewood? or is that just me?
I judge them top to bottom and thats how I adjust my prices lol
Look at the tires on their cars, look at how they keep there yard, look at the clothes they wear. Learn as much as possible about them and make that money!
Hahaha.....
Yes. Yes I do....
The price has nothing to do with how much money they have its based off what the market is charging/competitors. Im sure ur joking tho.
Full power for new model 540/t540 need Bli 200x or 300 for longer run
I have the old 540i and the new. The new one is great!
The other was the 536lxi
I have a 535iXP that I bought new and it has bee a TERD since day 1. I can only make a few cuts (always less than 10) and then it flashes the overheat signal and won't work again for 20 mins or so. Does not matter if it's summer or winter. Brought it to a dealer when it was still under warranty and they blamed the battery, not the saw. Took them almost a YEAR to get me a new battery (factory back order) now I am out of the warranty period, and the saw still won't do more than 10 cuts. Friend has one and his works great. Swap his battery for mine and his saw is still good and mine sucks. Husqvarna customer support won't help! They just refer me to a dealer. Dealer won't help because its out of warranty. Bought this new and have literally made less than 100 cuts with it. Total junk and even a "PRO" saw like this is no good and si I wasted a ton of money and Husq won't stand behind their product. Buyer Beware. By the way, I have a lot of other Husq equipment that has done well for me but this was a total waste. First time I splurged on Pro and just got hosed.
How does the battery saw handle cold weather? any noticeable performance decrease?
I found that you get like 30% less batterylife below -5 celsius (23 farenheit). But that only became a problem with the smaller battery that I was running. The big battery is almost double the Ah so it'll do fine for long even in lower temps. No change in power though from what I've experienced.
Thanks for the vid! I am going to give you a hard time bc "educated climber" does not know what kind of chain he is running, lol. I am curious how the 540 i runs with the standard .050 low pro trim saw chain. Not interested in buying a different reel for one saw. Sweet saw though!
Nice to see electric catch up!
Thanks for ur vids
Merry Christmas Patrick, ive been wanting a battery saw for a while im just debating wich one, the stihl pretty much sucks because where the saftey button is located but I have the stihl batteries already so I'm either going to modify the button or wait for the next model, that husky looks very useful for trimming. Thanks for the video 🤟
The husky is incredible. I use it on removals out here in the PNW. It does great on firs and I can even get away with chunking with it til I get into 14"+ wood. To be fair though, it struggles on bigger hard wood like maples, oaks and madrones. Still though, it's excellent.
Does the battery with that coincide with the pole saw? (Interchangeable)
Yes. Use em on all the products
Yessir
What battery was in the husky? because that does affect cut speed
Whoa whoa whoa, 1:13.. you don’t normally get excited about chainsaws? Why the heck not!?
Hmmm.... I don't know.... just the means to an end I suppose... I certainly get excited about a big advancement when it happens... I actually got really excited about the battery polesaw when that came along.... I'll have to think about it some more... - Patrick
I have a saw fetish! 👍😂🌲
You can not let off trigger on electric. It takes some getting used to -not having to rev it. Just commit to electric. It's OK. ha ha I have the old 54i and new one - both great.
Have tried the new Echo Dcs something something?? Can you wear some cleaner clothes next time you appear on TV. I like the look but maybe some Asics instead of those old boots.
What size battery should i get the 9 amp 40 volt or the 5 am 35 volt?
Hi i have them both but for 540i new model only Bli 200X or bli300 to see difference compare to 535i/536i for prooning 300 is heavy but good for large wood
Project farm , He's done 2 test on most of the saws
Stihl or husky top handle gas saws
Stihl makes the best gas saw. Huskvarna makes the best battery saw. Yes, my opinion.
Someones going to start playing with voltage. For these to really progress, there's going to have to be a whole lot of broken batteries and burnt out motor and brain boards.🕵🗜🛠💡
👌
Man everytime I watch your vids im like "F**k thats a bitchin intro" love it love it! Also pretty bitchin hat there too my friend! I'm curious how the weight compares between the 2? I do like the idea of battery powered for trimming and smaller removal action if the weight difference is enough. I have no Idea about specs and pricing of the new battery powered saws, havnt done any research yet. Ive been hearing good things for sure so I figured give it another couple years and they'll probably be making some kick ass battery saws. I will say that 540i had some wicked rpms by the looks of it. Be safe see ya on the next one!
That oregon chain is a safety chain while the husky one isn't.
Should have been apples to apples… narrow kerf on both saws to be a legit comparison.
Either of those chains look like "pro" chains, they have that dual raker bullshit on them...
Sweeeeet
Yeah still think the 200T is a better saw..even though it's 12 years old..I guess I'm old school...let's see that Husqvarna in 12 years 🤔🤔🤔...
All things being equal, this video wouldn't exist....😂 I'm fairly sure that the chain width and sharpness is a factor
Well anyone who lives and does tree work here in the south, wait till it hits the high 90’s low 100’s and see how that battery saw performs when it starts to get hot and that battery it boiling hot. I guess I could run it diesel truck all day with the AC running and leave the battery powered saw in it so it stays cool till u need it. Maybe $50-100 in fuel a day is worth it to keep that battery cooler.
They keep upgrading these saws so you drop a $k and your saw becomes a dinosaur.
Not overly impressed. 2.5kg without bar n battery must be on similar weight to the 200t if not a bit heavier. So lugging that big heavy saw round just to prune with? Sooner take the echo 2511tes or dcs2500t ,then if using for bigger cuts the t540ixp ain't going to last that long on a charge. probably could have a ported 200t or echo cs362tes for less money and it will piss over the t540ixp. The only benefit to battery is noise really. They both probably have similar running costs, batteries will be probably be goosed after a year of charging.🤷♂️
If you can somehow magically port that 200t into a 540t xp that would be impressive. But if you prefer echo, that's a decent choice as well I guess.
I've been running the 1st gen t536i for 7 years on the same 2 original batteries
The ms200 won that race he should send the battery vibrator backed to the company STIHL chainsaws are the best long as it comes as petrol
