Parts availability

[Ricbob]

Ok so im in the market for a ground saw, im looking at a second hand ms341/ms361 or maybe going over to the dark side with a 550/560xp.

 

Now im all for trying something new (read husky over stihl) but im finding it hard to source parts for the huskys?

 

Short of a main dealer where to people get parts? even ebay has let me down?

 

Thanks

greenstripe were recommended to me - spoke to them yesterday - very helpful

Buy a new one, use it for two years, then sell it and buy another new one.

The warranty is two years, so no need to worry about parts.

It'll cost you less than 50p/day assuming it sells for half price after two years (though most decent saws on eBay sell for nearer 75 to 80% of new value).

Husky by the way, off FR jones. You'll have no worries about warranty issues etc.

mikerecike - thanks for the suggestion, just had a look and its seem they've got a decent list of parts but judging by the price i take it its all OEM stuff. Not a bad thing guess i was looking for some good 3rd party stuff.

 

Rover - i see where your coming from and second hand saw do fetch a good price will definitely conciser this. tho i do enjoy maintaining and fixing my own kit
