560xp that's it I've had enough!!

[Hodge]

Well that's it I'm getting rid of the piece of, the brake band just snapped again that's the 3rd in 10 months, then the starter cover internals broke again 3rd time in 10 months. Utter crap, I have been on to husky and they say they are working on it?? Why stop making a brilliant saw like the 346xp to be replaced with utter junk. It's so bad I'm contemplating going over to the dark side, Stihl:)

Friday aftrenoon special-I would say.......I love Huskys but wouldnt put up with that Kx

[Stubby]

Not acceptable . Luckily I have not had any of the problems you have had . Strange as I must have had my 560 10 months ? It is a 2011 saw.

[Ashes_Firewood]

Sounds awful. Are they offering a refund/new saw or do they just keep fixing it and hope you'll eventually go away?

[Pooch0151]

Just keep fixing mine my mates 1 run ok mine is like a bag of nuts and bolts not good

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

My mate has had one for 4 months; in that time av springs have gone 3 times, muffler has come loose once and a few other issues - bad for a new saw.

[Brushcutter]

Not good.

I really want a 550/560 but for each person who says they are the bee's knees the is another telling you not to touch one with a barge pole.

 

I do have a 576 that went bang about a month out of warrenty and husky replaced it with not questioned asked. The crank did decided it wanted to explore the underside of the exhaust so you can see why they did.

 

390 constantly spits out nuts and bolts and crappy dealer support means you never get anywhere.

 

Seem the new gen saws just aren't as good as their old counterparts.

Just Friday afternoon saws maybe, mine has been faultless but my 372 has been a royal pita.. Breaking AV's loosing bolts.. In my time using saws from both camps this has been a problem! I do really enjoy using my 560, 395 and 357 have had no problems at all apart from user error...
