Husqvarna 560xp any good?

I'm assuming if you order the xpg it will be the latest model with the fix. Has anyone got the xpg btw ?

Couldn't believe how good it was when I had a go of yours Charlie,

 

Honestly the best small saw I've EVER used!!

I love mine, but I really love my 346 xp still.

I got mine back in Oct 11 and at first it was like trying to start a fire with a wet rag:confused1: but when I went through everything it came down to a duff spark plug and now it's one mean beast. I wouldn't change it for anything now:thumbup:

We've just had 2 faulty 560xpgs - on top of one faulty xp. I personally run a 560xp that went back and is now fixed and it is super mega, but 3 out of 6 saws that I've been involved with have gone back (and take FOREVER to get sorted/replaced). Pretty poor performance really, and the aftercare is beyond terrible. If you get a good 'un it will blow you away, but do you fancy the odds?...

Better result than the stihl needle bearing problems though on the 261 or every other weakness/problem on the 201 ..... Atleast husky they are fixing and dealing with there problems and not refusing to see they exist!! On a personal note I brought a 560 and can with out a doubt never have been more happy with a saw. When I completed my last thinning works it could not really of been down too two things .... This saw is productive and it just feels erginomicaly perfect !
