Which new saw?

[jamallio96]

We have loads of huskys at work, 346 not bad,
550,560,572? All crap saws.
They don't like to start in the heat.
They cut out, and are generally sh*t.
Every husky I've ever used over 11 years has been sh*t.
I genuinely don't understand why people buy them.
Stihl make some sh*t saws too but they are domestic.
The pro range is solid, reliable and cuts well.
(Had 3 huskys fail today)
Taking my own stihls tomorrow.

Yeah, plenty of people have certainly had bad experiences with huskies! At first my 560 would a total b*tch to start when hot, but ut seems to get better and better each day I use it, and after a little while you get a feeling for how you're gonna need to start it (primer pump, high idle etc) depending on how long it's been since you ran it, how warm the weather is etc.
Most of the time now it just starts first pull no problem! :-P

I bow to your superior knowledge over my hearsay good sir!
Would'st thou agree however, that the 560 is a spiffing saw?

Indubitably my dear fellow ?

anyone else find the noise from the 560 absolutely  earsplitting ??

i find myself going for the ancient 361 instead which isnt too far behind performance wise imo.

In fairness to huskies I have used the 550 and 560 recently, vicious noisy beasts. They did have small yellow stickers on the casing... [emoji848][emoji106][emoji57]

Damn, wonder what those stickers were I find the MS261 is the one that goes through my head!

That doesn't sound too good!

 

If you don't mind me asking what issues have you had with the new 572xp?

[outinthewood]

Yes I'd be interested in what starting problems you have had with the 572 ? We are having the hottest spell for 40 years and got my 572 just in time for the hottest part and it never failed to start in fact one of the best starters I have had ! What was the issues with the 3 Husqvarnas you had "fail" ?

550 or 560, if I only had one saw it would be a 560?

261 at full pelt is a noisey bastard.

18 inch bar quietens it down but then it bogs down....hmf ?
