560xp

[daddyola50]

560xp problems again I'm afraid ..after past 5 or 6 years with echo and stihl after last carry on with 560xp saws I made the mistake of buying them again thinking that they were now sorted . 3 saws all 560xp..have needed crankcase bearings after failure . Saws lasting from new 10 months ..8 weeks ,6 weeks . All needed rebuilding . After rebuilds 1 now needs a new short block due to cases now leaking chain oil. Other one won't run properly after 6 days use after rebuild ..work done under warranty....these saws are not fit for purpose to be used in forestry at all . Complete joke as I know other users have had similar problems.  Why oh why are these saws being sold if so many are suffering bearing collapse so often..

Makita saws next or echo again. 

I find husqvarna just don't care about their customers as I never got anywhere with them last time we had problems.

not had a problem with my 560xp run it about 4 hours a day for the last 6 months never fails . . . as long as you turn the choke off as soon as it farts then she starts within the next 2 pulls . id rather have my husky than a stihl .
