Hi guys,
I'm new, live in Norway.
I have an electric Stiga CS700 and it has been working well, but lately I have been looking into having a two saw plan for the bigger trees. I cut my own firewood and help my dad at the farm.
In general we do not have big trees, so I think a 20" light bar is my choice. I started looking at Husqvarna 562/572, but after realising how much lighter the Stihl saws are, I'm leaning more and more towards them. Started looking at a 400, but they are kind of expensive and it only cosy 150-200 dollars more for a 462. Then I found some amazing offers on 500i and that again is only 200 dollars more.
The absolutely most important thing for me, is that I want a saw that last. I somehow think the simple 400/462 will last longer. Does that make sense?
I will mostly stick to 20" bar, is there any benefit at all for a 500i over 462?
I don't want to end up in a situation we're I'm thinking "what if?"
Thanks for reading and I'm eagerly waiting for the responses.
