Stihl 1/4" is good.

When I get mine and do the (likely) eventual swap, I'll try and make some head to head comparisons to share. Or, maybe I'll use it seldom enough to not spend the extra money if the stock setup works for the limited use I'm buying it for... time and testing will tell.

I bought one for the limited use of end weight reduction pruning out of a lift that hasn't arrived yet. Turns out I use it as a first choice for any pruning that I can as it is so light and enjoyable to use.

Merle, are you using the stock bar and chain or something else?

Stock right now. I bought a Panther from August to put on my T540i XP and if it is much better I will switch to that.
Suspect I will be happy with Southsound's method of just running Stihl 1/4 chain.

Have you used it yet? See this thread here, both myself and rico are in the camp of 1/4 pitch being worse on the T540i than stock. Harder to sharpen, worse on anything bigger than small/medium limbs. But lighter and faster accelerating.
Husqvarna T540i XP - Bar & Chain Options
Ok, so lets put this discussion in one place, bars and chains for the T540i XP battery climbing saw. I've been running the T540i for around a year and a half, and out of the 5 different climbing saws (4 of them gas) it is the one I use 90% of the time. Mine has a 14" bar and in my...

Regardless of the bar and chain, I personally think 16" is way too big for a 193/194.... There is nothing magic about the Speedcut nano system.

No 27R I haven't installed or used it yet. Thanks for the link. Sounds like it will save me from buying more high priced bars.
I'm curious to see how it does the chain is a good bit skinnier so I imagine it will probably be about the same as it is with the 14" bar is got on it now, not incredible but works.
@L3VI yea but that's 600+ it's 69$ for the conversion kit if it's bad we'll just run it on my 201tc.

So you did in fact get it for around 350?

I bought two more batteries for mine. At the time a package deal was offered for Echo Blower, battery, and charger for $50 more than battery alone. I guess that is fine enough but, Echo Blower is weak compared to Huskys more recent version.
is the 2511 fueled up?
Yah, $357 after tax/shipping. I don't understand why there are so many constantly on ebay, from different sellers even, around the $330 mark, when they are $550 at Home Depot and $430 on Amazon... At $350 for the package honestly it seems like a hell of a deal.
Yes, all saws are full of gas/oil. And electrons, but those done weight much.

Does anyone hear their 2500t squeak?
Maybe a normal noise typically drown out by a gas engine?
