Seals were sucking in air. Bearing failure, prob plastic races in bearings. I also have the same saw I haven’t put it to real work yet. Using my 372xps for the work. How many hours or tanks did you have on the saw

I had probably 50-60 hrs on it. I bought it used at a pawn shop, so not really a huge loss, just bad timing. This one and the walkers 372 are both early OE’s. Likely had a million hours on it. Oh well.

Still can be fixed

This fella is super hard on the saw. He doesn’t own

That’s not being hard on it. He’s actually using the saw for what it’s made for in his videos. That’s a better test than some hobbyists cutting cookies on a sunday. That’s not a worksaw. You should see what some gorillas do to a saw. Lol

He pushes saw so hard that it shuts it self off. He thought it was out of fuel. I don’t think he would be that hard if he had paid for it

 

[huskyboy]

I don’t remember seeing that, but I’ve hit the off switch by accident on my saws before. Saws are a lot tougher than most people think. Keep sharp chain, good mix and good tune they can handle a lot of abuse.

 

[thesawincanada]

I understand that he is selling the saw to the 80000 people that watch his u tube channel. No way he would push his own saws in that fashion

 

[thesawincanada]

He even says he’ll break the saw or it will break him on the second half of the video I posted. Great video for promoting husqvarna that’s why they drove down and handed him a saw and what ever he wants.

 

[huskyboy]

I’m interested to see the outcome

 

[thesawincanada]

I’d like to see the long term on that saw in his hand. Remember it’s a brand new saw they hand him in the video I posted

Sure the guy isn’t the most graceful with a saw but I didn’t think he was excessively hard on it and the guy did tell him to run the piss out of it. And if a saw is going to shut off completely and not just bogg out when being pushed on then it may have bigger issues. I may have missed where he said he would “break it or it’ll break him” as I couldn’t find that part but at the end he did say he wanted a saw that would “outperform him”.

To be honest if the saw can’t hold up to that little bit of abuse then I want no where near that thing. With 75% of my cutting being production falling and piece work my saws get worked hard, very hard and in extreme conditions at times. I rely on equipment that’s dependable as that’s what I make a living with. Don’t get me wrong, I take very good care of my equipment but I also don’t baby it.

I’d like to see how long it lasts. 8 months 1 year or 3 years or 5, being pushed the way he does. Before it has a hard fail. I don’t think it would handle being run at wide open throttle all the time

 

[thesawincanada]

I have 30 odd saws in my collection. Would buy one see how long it would last. Bearings usually go first causing air leak. This model does have bigger crank bearings than the 372. Leading up to an ms660 size crank bearings

Should he run it at half throttle rather than wide open?

 

[thesawincanada]

To beak in a brand new saw, what does the husqvarna manual say?

 

[thesawincanada]

I’m going to call my friend Ron at the chainsaw clinic and buy one. See I fell in the trap. It will work good alongside my 562xp

I have seen folks on landings in Oregon and in logging in Europe treat saws far, far worse.

Having said that, and since this is an update thread, there's rumblings here in Europe the saws are having issues Husky are fixing, but no one wants to say what they are specifically. Yeah. I'll just spread that rumour there, wont I
