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

[Stubby]

Well Josh I hope you are happy with it bud . Hate see any one frustrated with their gear . For the record my 560 does what your new Stihl does , It is strange how yours was such a pile of poo and mine is fine but hey ho bro .

[Hodge]

Just tried out my new Ms 362,

 

Stripped it down and greased needle bearing before work commences,

Wow its a beefy bearing compared to 261 bearing,

So fields up, started sweet, put a rmtank through her,

and guess what ....

...

...

it didn't stall once , no fancy electronic this electronic that,

Just back to basic carb n ask screws ,

 

So it runs,

Not as fast as the 560xp, but with the 3/8 chain I would say its nearly on par cutting wise, feels well balaced, looks clean and easy to maintain , airfilter is doubled up which I like, so will be able to say more in time but first impressions are good,

 

And it idles, and had to be started once, not

once every 4mins like my 560,

So it may not be as quick but fingers crossed it looks easier to maintain and will hopefully be more reliable

 

Josh..

 

So you joined the club the josh, its quite nice not having to a swear at the saw.

Tbf it happens with everything nowadays, everything is mass produced, slammed together and sent out without giving it a proper going over, we had new machinery last year at the golf club, one mower the turbo and fuel pump blew up, other mower a latch has worn loose and keeps locking the blades, the roller blew its clutch apart, sheared the bolts off the muffler, grease points have all snapped off and tank breather is faulty! The big companies shouldn't be doing this! Husky and stihl both have done it, toro, John Deere, ransomes, and half the agricultural machinery! Does nobody test the damn things nowadays? The only thing I have heard being tested properly is the T540xp, which has been doing so since 2010, and husky are really taking the piss with that!
