First day the air controller broke, it's plastic. Quite heavy and tiring to use. I also have a Husqvarna, no comparison. You get what you pay for, the motor is very powerful, but only for amateur use
With the first use, the filter filled with oil and the dealership did not recognize the damage or the oil leaks that stain you in the back in the middle, which is also dangerous to catch fire
Very good machine, extremely durable for amateur use. When I bought it, I changed the fishing line because the one it came with from the manufacturer is not good. I put a 25€ one and it works great. It also has a slightly increased consumption, but that doesn't bother me because it does its job more than well.
Guys, I've had it for 11 months, the spring on the jaws broke and I replaced it. The screws on top of it loosen and it eats up the handle. It's a good tool, but not for heavy-duty use. In no case should you compare it to official brands. It needs to be constantly left to cool down and not be heated up, but overall, for amateurs and people who use it for a few hours a year, it's worth it!
Bought in September 2019 and used seasonally, not professionally, for cutting grass in May and clearing weeds in August, not exceeding a total of 50 acres. The positives are that it is powerful and can work at lower speeds, so it doesn't ignite when touching the exhaust and doesn't damage the engine or gears. The negatives are that the spring of the gears broke, it is made of small steel, and I replaced it with a larger one from the EMAC gears. Note that it also accepts genuine red EMAC gears for the Oleo-Mac, as they are cheaper than the EMAC gears. The spring of the hand throttle unraveled, and I replaced it with a TB 53 throttle, but it slips a bit, maybe the plastic base of the throttle needs some filing to grip better or maybe it needs a different solution, like the one used in the 52 model, with 13mm pipe wrench screws glued with Algon. It also has a rope start feature, although the 60 model requires a lot of strength, which is why it breaks the pulleys. It should be removed with a simple hand throttle and a valve in the cylinder that you press when putting it in front, similar to the larger chainsaws. It's not rocket science, maybe I'll take it to a mechanic to install a valve. Simple hand throttles don't work, the gears don't engage properly, so I installed a simple hand throttle and filed a bit the circular stopper on top of the carburetor to stop the gears, but I filed it too much and the gear folded inside and got stuck on the axle screw, which came loose and broke the simple throttle. Not to mention that with the simple throttle, your hands get cut and it requires a lot of strength, so it definitely needs a throttle with a strong start. The plastic of its own throttle that grips the gears is of very good quality and can be used in a semi-professional throttle from a TB 53, but be careful not to unravel the spring inside. The plastic of the fuel tank is soft, and when I emptied the gasoline, small pieces of plastic came out of the tank. Gasoline melts the tank, so I add a fuel additive, half a cap in twenty liters, which I think helps since my father, who has the Gardeman and another Craft 52, also has the same issue with his tank and the Oleo-Mac tank that he adapted because the other one broke at the seam and was leaking fuel, but the gasoline doesn't melt the plastic. The best solution is to adapt a tank from another good brand, even a semi-professional one, but be careful not to let the hot engine touch the tank and melt it, so it should be mounted in a way that the other tank hangs. Like the 52 model, all Chinese models have a support plate on the exhaust. You should be careful not to loosen the exhaust screws, as the plate can break. In my case, due to the many
For its price and amateur-careful use, it is just what it should be (value for money). Very powerful, as it cuts even thick weeds. It burns a little more when it encounters very difficult vegetation. However, after 3 years of tough use and about 30 odd jobs in total, the shaft, the bell, and the head were worn out and needed replacement.
I bought it for a 4-acre property, the initial impression is good, it worked without any problems for 5 tanks, it starts on the first try. The downside so far is that the screw for greasing was for a Phillips screwdriver and it was difficult for me to unscrew it because it was tightened too much, just like the spark plug which was also tightened too much. I will come back with more details when I use it more.
