New Husqvarnas

Has anyone used one of the new Huskys which have the secondary chain brake lever above the grip on the back handle? If so, what did you think to it?

I used a 346 XP TrioBrake recently for a few days, and i hated it. It kept on engaging the brake while snedding. I guess you can get used to the handle being there, but I really don't see the safety advantage anyway.

 

So I've concluded: The TrioBrake is not for me

I saw the trio brake in the husky catologue it didn't really appeal to me either. It just seemed like it would really get in the way and wouldn't be practical at all. That's just me though

Totally pointless for any professional application. Would drive me nuts within minutes and I genuinely cannot see the safety advantage for anyone with the possible exception that you would be chainsawing less as you'll have run the damned thing over repeatedly with your truck!
