I have an early 2011 saw . It had a few problems back then . Within a few weeks it had a new carb hotter plug and some computer stuff done on it . Sent it to petemate for tweeking and since then just one starter mechanism ( bent the pawls ) . 4 years old and still going strong .

Well we are another outfit with a dog in 560XPG

 

 

 

Took it home and put it into an oak stump for a few minutes since when it has been ok until the exhaust bolts worked loose and one stripped its threads in the block so just been helicoiled

 

 

 

Also broken chain brake handle in between times

My 560xpg just being repaired under warranty a year in. Top exhaust screws worked loose. Damaged the threads irreparably and the heat escaping melted the chain brake handle pivot point at the clutch side, causing the handle to fail.

 

Dismantling a big Beech just now and missing it like crazy.
