Tim, Did the brake band "break" or "wear" through?The dealer that had my 3120 didn't get the band on right and it wore through one of the two halfs before I caught it.When I put it back together, I learned how hard it was to get it on right and you REALLY have to look for it.
OR are you saying that its hard to get the brake band properly slipped over the clutch. I had always assummed that if the chain/clutch cover goes on properly then the band is in place.
What I can gather from this thread is that Huskies aren't what they used to be and Husky dealers are pretty much a bunch of shysters.
If you have to baby these saws get something that can handle real use. My old Stihl will run great on year old mix....
.......and has never had a serious problem in thousands of hours of hard use..including "chipped" parts and switches breaking.
doesn't any company make a decent product and then back it up anymore?
FWIW, Husky does not insist their oil be used during the warranty period, unlike Stihl.

The dealer said milling may void the waranty but the wording is not there to say that.
It doesn't look like Husqvarna is opposed to milling in general or should use that as a reason to deny a warranty claim. If they do it would look like a double standard since you can get a 3 year warranty on a 385 if purchased with the Logosol mill. At $999 it's more than some places but I think that includes bar, chains, sharpener and some other add-ons for the mill. Hi woodmakr,Welcome to the forum.In your quoted statement, who exactly offers the extended warranty? It`s not Husky, it`s Logosol, so I`d say that your conclusion that "it doesn't look like Husqvarna isn`t opposed to milling in general" isn`t well founded.As I said before, cultivate a good realtionship with your local dealer and in all likelyhood he will side with you on warranty issues where he has any latitude.Russ
