a good top handle saw please

[geoff]

But what it the warranty like? Although I have found this to be dealer dependent some will try to charge for warranty repair or some I would not trust to fix a mechanical pencil let alone a 2 stroke engine.

. I have never had to claim, so can't say, no reason to think it will be any different from other brands, good point though.

I've got a Makita DCS3400TH, so light compared to others, although not so robust. Had mine for about 7 years now and not needed to buy any spare parts yet, only chains and a bar.

Is it right the 360 comes with a sugi hara bar as standard ?

Why don't you give the main dealer a call for a definitive answer?

It is marked as an echo bar, I put one of Rob d's Sugi bars on mine as I wanted a carving bar.

Not the husky 540xp it is a cracking saw to use but give it three months and it will fall to bits. The whole top handle inc the carb snaped off mine when i went to start it! Husky refused to repair it so it now owes me best part of £700 for a pile of c**p buy a stihl or a echo. It sounds like a 201 will last well or the echco is cheap enough to be able to get another if it doesnt last.

 

I wish i had never owned the husky :-(

Just a quick update my local dealer will give me 12 month warranty and I discussed the problem you have kindly warned me about with the new husky and he will honour the warranty for these problems. So I will be collecting it Saturday morning.
