stu .Hi mate . No I did not . Its the first I have heard of it ! \I just started it on light duties with a 15" bar for a few weeks then upped to an 18" bar and made it work a bit harder . When you do this is it cutting , under load or just spinning in the wood but not cutting ?

Not had a chance to do any maintenance on my 560 its always back at the dealers !

Daystate arn't cheap ! ! I got a cheap Chinese SMK co2 . Had to have it fettled by Welsh willie , and new seals, but now it performs like an expensive 22. ( welsh Willie is to air weapons like spud is to saws ) I am going to ask for a new one . Saw that is , Got no choice .
-
I am gutted to be honest . It has all that potential but it sems if you only use it in 45cc land its fine , put it in 60cc land and it goes to sleep . Taking it back tomorrow . Want a new one that friggin works .

Bitterly dissapointed > Solved the hot starting problem but still cuts out under load .Took down a rather large cherry to day . Chogging up the stump it stopped six times . Restated fine every time but just died in the cut . Gave up with it . Its got to go back again .

It is a total sickner with out a doubt . The tin lid is the police comment . The trouble is he is probably right . Most of the small police stations around here are closing . I am really sorry bud . Hope something good comes out of it >

Got 560 back to day . New 2012 carb fitted and software loaded. It seems mine was a 2011 saw . All good so far

Any saw from spud will be totally reliable and properly sorted . You could depend on it 100% with the added bonus - its a Husky !
-
As I said eirlier " a good bigun will always beat a good littleun " Rule of thumb . If you are going to need a 15" bar max from what you say then I would sggest no smaller than 45cc . Of course if you went up to say 60cc it will rip through quicker . You just got to balance out cost and weight and so on .
-
Don't know much about either of those two but I am in the Husqvarna camp mostly so would choose the Husky . You really need to reserch what they are aimed at . Ie home owner , semi pro etc etc . Then look at what you are going to subject them to and asses whether they are up to it power wise . Bigger power head smaller bar = faster cutting and so on .

Oh Steve I know you could pull of that little stunt , a man of your tallents !
-
If its all beach its fine like it is . Mine is the same . No worriues bud .

O.k. matey . thats good enough for me !

Hi Anthony . Good luck with your ticket bud . As for a 192 I have never used one but , I have seen a couple . I don't think they are as strong ( in Construction ) as a 200 and a smaller capacity ( less power ) . For some reason I have it in my head that they are popular in France . Don't know why . Sorry can't be more help .

Hey Wooded I had a 372 for years and when the 575 came out I " up graded " But to be honest I did not like it It weighed the same as my 385 but with less power so I sold it and got another 372 . The way people rave about it I am thinking the new 576 is way better than the 575 that came before it .
-
Enjoy bud, enjoy !
-
Could be a carb setting problem . Spud is yer man ! Ask him .
-
A few years back I bought a "proper" west coast saw , big husky , 385 or 394 can't remember now , but what I do remember is it had a full skip chain with the rakers filed comletely down , full wrap handle and a twin port muffler . Big soft wood only me thinks .
-
Yep probably Jon and if they only use it once in a while in thier garden it might last utill they die . As you know if they used it everyday five days a week the av mounts will fall apart it wont run right ( if it ever could ) and all the threads will strip . Ooo sounds like I could have tried one L.O.L. !
-
Yea I know . Sorry to be so serious ! At the time I was insenced ! but know I don't give a flying fudge cake

Steve mate I gave up reporting these about a year ago , even contacted Husqvarna and told em . Ebay just want the commision from a sale . I had all the details of the Chinese manufacturer and how it was "rebadged" after being sold to another ditributer i . Never got a responce from any one .

Hi Steve . How you keepin' mate ? Been cutting hazel in he woods this week . Me and my buddie . We both used our 346 Huskys . What a huge difference between his and mine ! I got so used to mine I thought there was something wrong with his ! Never actually compared a standard one to your/our tuned one till now . I godda say they are poles apart . Its not till you do this that you appreciate , fully, what you did mate . BIG UP to you Steve ! ! ! ! Best regards Andy .
