(More customer reviews)The post about the 128ld inspired me to contact husqvarna about the differences between the poulan pro 33cc model the husqvarna 128ld model. I am posting their response below. First, I want to give my opinion.
On a personal note, I have owned both models. The Husqvarna greatly outperforms the Poulan pro. First, on a scale of 1 to 10 the Husqvarna earns an 9 for startup; the Poulan earns a 6. Second, and most important to me, the Poulan's vibration fatigue is unbearable after several hours of work. On the other hand, the husqvarna is relatively smooth and creates almost no vibration fatigue after several hours of work. Third, the Poulan has more power; however, the difference in power is negligible at best. When considering the differences in start-up and vibration fatigue there is no question the Husqvarna is worth the extra $100.00. Now, the review.
Husqvarna's customer service has been excellent. The first paragraph contains my questions only. By the way, I appreciate the argument that Husqvarna is made by Poulan with the same part numbers. However, a $60,000 Cadillac does have some parts that are the same as a $20,000 Chevrolet.
What is the difference between the 128ld and the 128ldx? I have read many different stories online. Are the motors the same? Is the 128LD a cheaper built model? How is the 128ld different from a poulan pro 33c $100.00 walmart trimmer?
128 models have the same engine, but the LD version is different from the LDx version. Lowe's has been selling trimmer attachments for several years, a product line they wished to take advantage of, so the 128LD units were modified from the LDx version to accept the attachments they were already selling.
The 128 engines are built for Husqvarna by Poulan, but are constructed of Swedish specified parts; the Poulan units are built of similar but different engine construction of Poulan design and construction. If the WalMart unit is not of LD/LDx design that would also accout for cost/price differences.
