Well,
for the past 7 years I have been babysitting a husky rancher 55.
right from the start it has been a thorn in my side, when it works IT WORKS. When it dos'nt it dos'nt. Right from the start it has chewed muffler gaskets! Husky's fix was to toss me a new muffler, still chewing gaskets. For the tune of 1 gasket =2 days work. I kid you not. Husky's reply was to toss me yet another muffler.
Well I kept it going, by keeping a supply of at least 3 gaskets on hand, (hey since I mentioned this any of you rancher owners out there need muffler gaskets I still have 3 left just send me your snail mail address and I will send them to you) and today the familiair roar that told me time for a gasket change. Ya I wish.
When I took off the muffler the cylinder head was split. Time for a new saw, never another husky. Not to say that their saws are no good BUT around here the husky support is all for naught.
You might say 7 years are not been reasonable?
My saw before that was a still 038 mag lasted 15 years. And remember that I mentioned that right from the start I was haveing that saw in at the dealer for "warentee work" :laughing:
Enough of my rant thanks for listening, time to go shopping
