I'll pass for now. I'm going to see if they fix or replace it.

If they do neither, look me up. I'd love to have one of those for myself, but we'll gladly sort it out for you if need be.

I "have" new a HUSQVARNA 576XP Autotune, I made 4 cuts in a downed oak tree and it died, restarted and would not stay running. G/F took it to the shop it came from and was told there was nothing wrong with it. I came back from Atlanta and made two cuts, died at the end of the first cut as I pulled it from the tree and quit 7/8 through the second. I took it back to the shop and was told I'd burned it up cutting with a dull chain. Scored piston/cylinder. Using OEM full synthetic oil, 93 octane gas, one gallon mix in a new gas can and nice chip coming off the saw. My old 576 never gave a minutes problem and ran with tons of power. This one never cut worth a damn from the start. $1000 boat anchor is what it's starting to look like. I guess I'll see what Husqvarna says...

I figured you'd be along eventually!

Everyone jumps to blame AT right away. This is an old thread - what has the record shown about all the failed 576 AT saws? By now wouldn't it be pretty well documented if that were the case?

I loved my 576 auto it cut like a raped ape and I didn't have any problems I just wanted a 390 so I traded

I'm on the west side of Atlanta. Want to sell it? I'll give you an unfair (for you) trade in on a 441cm.

Nope, they gave me a new powerhead. Runs great now...
