Is it that much better than the 540? I've been tempted to buy one. I love the 540 but hate how much it binds. does the clutch take care of all that?

Yes it is that much better. I had planned to not get one as I have 3 540s and can back off a bit after they bind. But then I ran a 542 at TreeStuff's western TreeTopia. It cuts so much more aggressively - can't really wrap my head around a clutch making that much difference. They must have juiced up the power supply to the motor as well.

TreeStuff didn't have them to sell. Husky dealer wanted almost $800 just for the saw alone.

I don't think anyone "should" buy one. But any battery saw proponents should get ahold of one and try it with a sharp chain. Head and shoulders over the 540. It does go through batts quicker, is a little heavier.

Anyone in freezing temps may want the model with a G on the end - heated handlebar evidently.

I would say that I would have to work at getting this to bind. By torqueing into a cut purposely too much or feeding a 14 inch cut too swiftly. My 540 will bind fairly easily in even 6 inch wood.

I second this completely!
 
@Merle Nelson you’re making me want a 542. The problem is I have a Milwaukee and an absolute gaggle of Forge batteries.

I need to borrow my buddy’s 542 and see if it’s all that.

Yes borrow one - sharp chain.

Milwaukee batts...another thing...for people that do a lot of trimming of trees and have copious cuts to make from the ground to maintain shape and size - the extendable lopper is uncanny strong. I tried one of those at TreeTopia too. At least 1.75 cuts on dry wood, cut after cut, after cut.

Anyone running T542i or T540i with 14 inch bars this is a great storage box that can hold two, a charger, and an extra battery or two. And it's strong enough to stand on or sit on for work chores.

Acme often has good deals on things. I was thinking I wanted one of the Milwaukee pruner some day and Acme did a 24 hr sale that was a $100 cheaper than anywhere I've found and threw in a 8AH battery. Six months ago I bought a backup Husky extendable pole saw that was a couple of hundred cheaper all of a sudden.
