Hi all...Late to this thread...I'm a new member so just reading through threads now..great to read everyones chainsaw prefernces/tips :)
I have a Husky 560 xp with 18in bar - have it 1 -2 yrs, a joy to use...serious torque, would definitely recommend
Also have an old 1970's (i think) Homelite XL saw of the ould lads...still runs sweet but it's rather heavy and so doesn't cut much these days.
Had a homelite at work was a great saw but heavy as you say . Had a little hand pump lever for the chain oil ,
The one at home is the automatic version of probably the same saw, Homelite Super XL, red in colour..I got it serviced a year or two ago and the guy had 3 or 4 of them in the shop, 1 for sale the rest for parts but goes to show how well they lasted.
This reminds me I must start it. Never really use it, great power and cutting ability but it's hard to get used to no front guard/ chain brake now as well as the extra weight
I have a mark on my knee from one . Chain brake are for wimps .
Bought the Husqvarna Fuel and Chain oil Combi can and find it very handy . It has a place for the wrench and spare chain . The non spill filling system works well for the fuel but I use the ordinary nozzle for the oil as it is too slow .
That's handy looking alright, especially with the small storage compartment!
A new saw too, I see... Well wear!
Lads cn anyone recommend a lightweight saw that is fit for semiprofessional use ideally without breaking the bank.
I have a stihl 390 here which is a good saw but heavy for light work iykim.
I got a loan of a stihl 181 of my brother last week that's on its second chain and it calved after a few hours work.
He has to buy a saw now and wants to try somethinh different.
For myself I think im doing more than I used to and keeping the 390 for heavy work and buying a lighter saw for general work might make more sense than trading in.
Apparently the 390 is fairly long lasting,maybe better than newer ones.
Some say stihl are not what they used to be.
i dont have one even tho ive priced one a few times, they arent cheap for the good long ones.Anyone use one of them pole saws
Husqvarna had an offer on strimmers with a pole saw attachment a few months ago .Anyone use one of them pole saws
Ran into a spot of bother with her MS180 at the weekend. It's stopped oiling, and I'd say a little while ago. Bar is just about shagged I'd say, chain doesnt look terrible I have to say.
Did some rooting this evening, looks to be a right hoor of a job to change the oil line, I need to read up on it, but based on the ripping I've done so far I'm starting to think the whole feckin engine has to come out of it!
Oil pump drive looks fine so I'm figuring it must be a supply issue.
heres a vid that might help.also it might be the filter on the pump pickup pipe blocked with sawdustRan into a spot of bother with her MS180 at the weekend. It's stopped oiling, and I'd say a little while ago. Bar is just about shagged I'd say, chain doesnt look terrible I have to say.

Id say she is gutted with a letdown of hard labour like that. You may buy her a new chainsaw for Valentines . :fight:
Does she have any sisters?
I'd say there would be a queue on here if she had!!
