The 355T will be fine for use around the yard, but when used commercially their build quality left a lot to be desired. They're good runners but everything around the motor is chincy IMO

Strangely looking at that link they seem to have the most confidence in their battery electric chainsaws. I do not think they currently configure one as a top handle.
IMO dont waste your $ on the 540. I sold 2 338 to buy a 540 when they came out. Also owned a 200 and others.
My dealer let me demo a 540 and IMO it was lack luster to me and not balanced for 1 handing. Wished I would have kept one of the 338's.
Running a echo now I bought for $50.

Sleeper. I have no idea what you pay for OEM parts in Austria but I can assure you we DON"T pay $100 for an OEM piston. its about $39. with rings and OEM Circlips as well. The bearings are the expensive part of a ReBuild...about $60 for the pair and one is an OEM only replacement.
there is no discernable difference between a properly rebuilt 200t and a OEM boxed OEM 200t....'cept for some scratches....
I have three rebuilds and one minty OEM 200ts and other then the looks there is no operating differences.

no matter what the condition there is always a market for 200ts...try and sell a husky top handle or an echo and let me know when you can get 1/2 of its purchase price in mint shape...
Of course a OEM rebuilt will always be as good as a new! My above comment was that around here you pay around 2/3 of the new saw price for a cylinder kit (=cylinder + piston, etc)! Hence every rebuilt 200 you can expect aftermarket pieces inside.

Ok buddy, I say stick a postage stamp er 10 on that bucket and send it out to Wolfie or me, both of which will set it straight and back to its honorable running shape.
Cmon now we both know that's a "husky" bucket and no Stihl should be in it.

I'm betting I can fix it faster, one day here then back in mail. Cheaper then you could too!
