Make sure to upgrade the chain with the non-safety raker version. I used my 540IXP at a Game of Logging course with the stock safety chain 6 years ago. Doing a boring cut on a 12" dia dead pine worked but produced a whole bunch of smoke. You don't need ear protection but they do whine so I like to have the ear muffs at least down, maybe not locked. Battery saws are great for trimming shrubby land. Just crawl in and instant start to cut, instant safe. No need to find space to pull start. I wish Husqvarna had included an LED light. So when I am doing 2am down limb calls with my vol. fire department I can better see what I am cutting. Also ask Husqvarna what is the expected life of the LiON battery packs. It seems that after 6 years of casual use my battery packs are wearing out - they no longer take a charge.

My company-provided Stihl 201TC needed a repair, so they gave me a Husky T540i XP to use in the meantime. When the 201TC was fixed and my manager offered to swap it back, I told him "Thanks, but no thanks." It would've been nice to have both though...

Cream of the crop

The most interesting sawyer in the world.

Is it just me or did that branch have fungus damage all the way through?
