A little real time experience as this saw enters into the work rotation for me. A couple of service bulletins and this is normal as this essentially is a "new" model and will evolve as all Husqvarna's do over time. Being an early version, I have to evolve as well. Also Husqvarna "Saw Shop" specific dealers are closing around me and this is an issue that will be front and center to some as the trend to large full line dealers mixed in with other larger operations like farm stores. FORTUNATELY there are still a few within driving distance and my LOCAL dealer supports the brand pretty well. AND where I happen to do work in the North Country I found another "Saw Shop" style dealer so MY situation is still good. Other area's.....well I know of a few holes in the support in NY
