    So a local store has 20% off Husky saws. I’m deciding between a 562 that I don’t need and a t540xp…or another top handle as they’re all on sale. Which should I get? Hurry, my wife is out of town!!

    btw, the top handle would be for the house in the city. Something more compact but I also want decent power.

    I don't know many people that select the top handle Husky. Usually the Echo or Stihl is more popular in those. mike bayerl might have had one?

    I have a Jonsered 2139T which I believe is the same as Husq 338XPT. It's a very reliable saw and seems to have decent power-to-weight. Zero complaints. I handed it off to the wife when I got an MMWS 201T.

    I have a Husky 335 top handle i dont use and runs good if you're interested. Bought it used several years ago and it didnt get used a lot. I have two Stihl top handles that get used.

    Thanks but you’re a bit far…unless it’s a scam for free pizza!

    I can ship but that may be a deal breaker.
