    Buying my first chainsaw. Lowe's OK?

    Only reason to pay more at a dealer is better service. But nowadays dealers don't seem to care. I should rephrase that. Only select few care. Most are clueless and can't be bothered by warranty anyhow. Same goes for cars, boats and sleds,wheelers. Pretty much all loyalty is gone. Look at Stihl...

    Buying my first chainsaw. Lowe's OK?

    Call husky. Just had a fun day of talking to there cust service. Every time I had to call guess the choices. I was told because I had a tree business years ago that has been gone for over ten years that I do not get a warranty. Sorry I get 90 days. I have a pair of 550xps that suck. But I don't...

    Buying my first chainsaw. Lowe's OK?

    Honestly buy a poulan or a homelite. Beat it til it blows. Then tear it apart and see what went wrong. More than likely lack of oil due to buddy or girlfriend/ wife straight gassing it. To be honest all the plastic shell saws are disposable. I have more than enough saws to say the most used saw...

    550xp and xpg denied warranty.

    Thanks for letting me vent. I really can't understand how and why they would want to tell people that xp saws are for commercial only. 6 hours on one. And 4 on the other and I've had them over a year. I must be making a killing in the tree biz. I can't even keep up with firewood due to being...

    550xp and xpg denied warranty.

    I did contact husqvarna directly. I don't want to post names but will if it's ok. But these people are the escalations dept in husky corporate. I was buying a redmax blower to replace an old 8001 and was debating the husky 580 and met the rep. He was the one who I thought would fix this. Its...

    550xp and xpg denied warranty.

    Awesome. They have run two dealers out of nh. That were really good dealers. Even fired the sales rep in the area. I should have seen the writing on the wall.

    550xp and xpg denied warranty.

    So after swapping out a few 550xpgs I just left the dealer being told that my saws are not going to be covered by warranty due to being commercially used. The best part of all this is I am not commercial. I am being told that only commercial people buy xp series saws. I would love to know if...
