I've almost settled on a 575xp....but

[bookerdog]

LOL, nope. I cut a few trees and know when a saw has the power it needs. I don't know why there are no 441s up your way and could care less, maybe the guys have not ran 'em to find out.

Why all the hate towards the 441?

LOL Your right the 441 is a great fat aZZ homeowners saw.

i think the reason the 575 and the 441 get bashed is because they are compared to saws like the 372 and the 440 which are legends and have proved there self.

You are right, people read these "reports" made on these saws and make a assumption they are crap. I'm guilty of it also but thought from all I have read the 441 was a dog, man I was wrong about that.

 

[bookerdog]

Yup, do you see a 442 coming out?

Good gosh they need to.

i sense a little sarcasm somewhere.......lol.

LOL, your just blippin' the throttle now.:greenchainsaw:

 

[mattmc2003]

Anyone used a 575 for any amount of time? Compare it weight wise for me? Is it just a beefed up 570?

It will be hard for those companies to live up to those saws.

A 372 isn't an option either, cause they are sold out. But i ran a 371, and wasn't particularly thrilled. Hence my search into the 5## saws.

No need for version #2 or #3.:jawdrop:

I think ontario loggar has some real work time on one

Like chassis wise though, is it just a bigger cylinder and piston on a 570 case? In other words, i have friends with 570's, can i run them and have an idea of what a 575 feels like, minus the power?

i dont know much about the 570 but the 575 should be a tad lighter with the magnesium case.

 

[lovetheoutdoors]

also i think the 575 has better anti-vibe

Ya'll don't run 'em hard cutting timber all day, everyday?

 

[thomas72]

I have run a 575 and liked it. It had a good power at a high rpm range, and cut fast and had a good oiler that kept the bar well lubed. I ran one with a 20" bar in hardwood. I did not cut production but it was not too bulky to me and weight was not to bad for a 70cc saw. I did sale it though and picked up a ms441 but will get it Wednesday. I did pick a 441 up at the saw shop and it felt better in my hands than the 575 so we will see how it works out. If it cuts like my old ms440 I will be happy.

Maybe at the shed we can get the real scoop. LOL

Any of the saws you pick from those 3 441 575 and 460 will be a good saw for you.

Thanks for the input. My only dislike to the 371xp, was it cut like crazy, and high revving, but it stalled in the cut easy. I sat the 6401 down, and grabbed the 371. The 371 didn't have much room for pushing on it. It cut extremely fast, but it wouldn't take much pushing. I know your not supposed to puch on it, but my makita will slowly start bogging, and you can let up on it. The 371 would go from screaming to stalled without any in between. But, it does scream pretty good.
