Yes we are husky dealers ourselves ,we get shafted by the warranty thing time and time again sadly,We will see how it pans out ,

Its all good for dealers as husky point customers in there direction with any warrenty problems or other issues!.While still wanting dealers to take stock to sell.Cake and eat it springs to mind

Just check price for genuine parts,they have reduced price on some by quite some margin on a few models,

Don't use decomp button,We have had a few that were terrible starters ,start as normal just don't use decomp and 2nd or 3rd pull they are away

Very fast,Ive got the stitches and metal plate in my head to prove it!!,Put a knotty log into one its split it into many bits Sending it in various directions mostly near my head,Yes I know I should have worn a helmet etc etc,But I didn't,Brilliant machine but be very careful using it

We arnt a big stihl dealer by any means, we will do 50grand a year and abit less husky, many internet sellers are offering 30/32% discounts , we get 34/36 % from manufactures, if im part of ripp off britain im terribly sorry, ive seen it many times on here when a tree surgen is slated as being,an idiot for working for a couple of hundred quid a day,yet all dealers are the enemy out to take the shirt of your back, this isnt the case most are just working people with mortgages etc etc , I fully understand there are bad dealers around, as there are tree surgeons, plumbers , builders etc, but there are many like my self who have invested heavily in a job I love doing, who try offer good service at a fair price, give your local shop a try , get agood working relationship and you will see they arnt the enemy,

There is very little margin in new saws these days, in fact in a few years i can see many dealers like ourselves having a serious re think as stocking thousands of pounds worth of kit to make a 2% return isnt good buisness, The last post was bang on about trying tobuy localy as with abit of good old fashioned haggling most will get as near to internet price as possible, I know personaly we bend over backwards to help with problems with machines we sell, staying late to fix loan machines etc, the customer suports us we look after them , its simple, and the man who buys on line who can find us the second theres a problem can join the que,

We also sell aspen,And the profit margin as Mr gardenkit says is fairly low,However we get repeat customers coming in to buy it and other products,So It makes sense.As well as the other benefits to both us and customers,Over the past few years we have had machines returned after servicing etc With complaints This wont run etc,These faults are mostly reguarding stale fuel and the problems it causes.since using aspen ourselves in the workshop,and advising our customers to use it also we get very few machines back with faults,So its worth every penny to us if it keeps our year in year out service customers happy,And as already pointed out its not for everyone ,But i wont be going back to regular fuel any time soon

Been running this old thing on aspen most of season,Its never gone as well!!

We have sold a few husqvarna auto mowers,And i was the first to slag them off when we started selling them,They wont catch on ,Who the hell wants one of those etc etc(to be fair im a bit frightend of any technology since the beta max video)The 10 or so we have sold have been very reliable,and apart from changing a few blades carnt recal any faults with any of them.The secret to getting them to work well is in the instalation,Take plenty of time routing guide wires,power supplys,docking station etc,This will pay off long term,We have learnt that lesson the hard way!!

We got broken into in april,There was dna on a roof sheet were one of the theives cut there hand,(sadly not badly) and cctv footage of them taking our stuff,Police came and told us they knew who they were,But they were travellers so probably wouldnt catch them,!!!,I understand the police have a hard job etc etc ,But i came away from the whole thing thinking how bloody useless the whole system realy is

Its a shame realy ,as we have opened the shop 12 yrs ago,And have met some great customers many have become friends to my family and staff,But its always the moaning buggars you remember!! ,

We had a chap in on monday,saying the new mower he had bought was not fit for purpose and he wanted a refund right now,We pointed out he didnt buy it from us,But he just got more upset saying we deal mowers so he was sure i could send it back to the manufacturer and they would refund us,He then said we were being un helpful,

Try running it without filter,we have had odd ones doing this they look spotless but are still choked up

There are a few different coils for these,Make sure your coil is compatible with the serial number on your machine,The wrong one will fit and look just fine,But will display the problems your having if the wrong one
