After about a month and a half I decided to modify the muffler. I found throttle response has improved, top end has no limit, and no loss in torque. The autotune adjusted very fast to the point that I only saw improvement, and that was within the first half tank if that. With this mod I have...

Having run my Husky 51 since 93, figured it was time for some new technology. Sure I could have went bigger, but instead choose the saw for the job I have on my 13 acres. The XP362 looks nice, but the weight outweigh the price and size. I will fall back on the 51 for the averge land owner and...

Not sure, but it seems when I purchased by BX23 in 04, I recall a majority of posts reflecting the quality of the machine, not the lack of. Many where about canopys, add ons, additional lighting, weighting tires, greasing zerks, floating the bucket, etc.. Perhaps its just me,but I see more...
