Husqvarna 543xp who's used one?

[Jughead]

I now its a zenoah saw.just saw one this morning.hadn't paid any attention to it being in the lineup.its funny that parts aren't available yet on any of the online parts pushers.i really like the zenoah komatsu redmax saws but the gz4000's just lack a little bit for me.i have two craftsmans and a brand new redmax that i have only used once before i dropped the base gasket.wouldn't start afterwards.so i parked it for a while.must have stopped up the impulse with sealer.anywho.....
I'm thinking about selling all of my gz4000 based saws to fund a new husky 543xp.anyone here ran one yet?ran one against the gz4000 based saws?if so how do they run?or run against the 4000 stratos?

they are OK out of the box but they show there true colors after 6-10 tanks a muffler mod helps also. they are a good little saw but they are overpriced if you spend that kind of money just get a 545 or 550xp.

I only had one 543XPG for testing and I didnt like it, I found it lazy and didnt like the vibration, the balance was nice though.
It never took off here in Norway, quite often they have campaign also on 543, seems to be a low seller.

10-4 guys.may go with a 545.or may just sell the craftsmans and redmax and build a 346xp oe on a husky 350 platform.i have the stuff and like building but you know how it is with CAD,some new saw pops up and catches your eye.
I like the gz4000's but to me there's a point when you open up the trigger you get a lot of useless screaming.....kinda like a bunch of girls at a Justin bieber concert.

I've got one, it's a good saw and I only have it because I got it new for 300 or so. The vibes are what you'd expect from a rubber AV saw. With all this said the 550 or 545 are a much better buy. I only use it as a ground saw for small stuff Or when we're doing clearing work in say 12 inch or smaller trees... 550xp and be done

545 can be had for less than a 543. I bought a 550xpg from Spike for less than I can buy one local. Considerably under msrp shipped to TN.

i did pick up a 545 at a husky dealer a few months ago.seemed to have nice weight and balance.would have paid more attention to it if the snot nosed little salesman hadn't interrupted my train of though telling me that i needed a 455 or 460.
