Most regretable saw sale?

[treesnatcher]

are they really that bad?

should i be looking at a stihl instead?

I have a mix of both brands anyway always liked the little husq for everyday use on ground. ms200 was the only stihl i liked on the ground but is a silly price

I don't like the 550/560 and don't hide it. They crop up all the time on here with issues and unhappy owners.

Unfortunatly the stihls around that size aren't to my liking either.

I think going in the 50-60cc range at the mo I think echo could be cracking up the sales soon.

Never sold one as yet, a few dead ones lying about that i will repair one day maybe

My 346xp has started to become a bit bad tempered during warm starts, was thinking of buying a 550xp?

 

Me neither, I've never sold a saw, I just buy new and keep the old one in reserve, bring it out once a month to keep the pipes clear.

 

I'd NEVER sell my 288 or the 066 or......

I love my 550, but when I bought it there were no heated handles in production yet.

And there was something special about my 346 the 550 doesn't have even though the 550 is quicker.

A lot of people have had warm start problems . I have an early 560 ( 2011) and I took the gamble of sending it off to petemate for " tweeking " and since he sent it back 4 years ago ? its been faultless in the starting department ...

very nice pro-mac 850 but needed the money at the time

Ms 088. Although the upside is that it went to a very good friend.

[Mountain man]

That would make it even worse!

Nah. I'm glad it's got a good home now!!

I can always buy a new one (well an 880 anyway!)

[bobh]

My first 254, should never let it go.

Got another one now so all is good
