need a new groundsaw again, 560xp letting me down :-/

[jnoon]

Hi all,

After some advice..

So looks like I need a new saw AGAIN,

started off with a 261, fell to bits after a year so had to be rebuild and sold on, had a 550xp after 3 months that had new piston and head , a mate bought that off me,

So then bought a 560xp, its less than 2 months old and has just come back from having the hot start kit fitted to it along with new air filter and housing and new pull start. Don't get me wrong its probably the best firewood saw I've ever used however its no good to me if its totally unreliable

 

. . . And guess what it still keeps stalling,

I've had problems with both stihl and husk but seem to be more problems with husk,

Question is avoiding 261, do I get a new 241 or step up to the 441?

Any reviews on 241 & 441 as a groundie would be awsome,

 

Thanks

Josh.

We use a 241 its a 2010 model and its a nice little saw. Had it about 3-4months now from new and no beat skipping at all so far seems to be a robust enough saw. Would I purchase one personally? Yeah I don't see why not.

the 560 isn't husky finest hour:lol: Stick to the ones tat are tried and tested.....The 560 is a heap of junk and I am a husky man thru and thru. Husky in the states are good they wouldn't get away with what they did to you buddy. Mind you they are well aware of the 560 probs:lol:
