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

[mattmc2003]

I got it straightened out now!!!!! I figured out a way to get the 460 and not have any problems. Its only 50 more bucks than the 575 anyway, so im sure its the way to go for such a small price difference. Maybe i can get it tomorrow evening.

If I were buying a new saw I would spend it on a traditional ported saw.

 

[mattmc2003]

That means not one of those strato charged saws? THe 460 is traditional isn't it?

waitin for about thursday...lol. It just worries me about the bad stuff i read, the reviews on the 575 on baileys site were all 4 bad. But hey, its no doubt everyone can't be pleased. I only run maybe 3 tanks a weekend anyway, so, if its gonna be junk, i'm sure it will show itself before the 2 year warranty runs out. I'll run the snot out of it for a while. If i don't like it, there's always ebay.....lol.

This ought to make you feel better. A large wood cutting operation uses 575's around here and they really like those 575's. They buy up to 100 saws every year and last year they bought 575's. They like them better than the 441 and are sticking to Husky this year. It's one of the reasons a 576 is going to be my next saw.

Don't suppose I can talk you into a used 575, a strong runner, for under $400?

 

[mattmc2003]

Sorry man, but i'm 99.9 on the stihl now. In fact, it may come home tonight. Im too worried about trying something new, i gotta have a warrantee to be comfortable, otherwise i would be on your 575.

I'd prefer the 460 over the 575 anyhow......


as far as warranties go, most saws run reliably out of the box...rarely an issue. I picked up the 575 from a guy who needed money.....I don't use it...far preferring my 7900's or ported 372's.....also got a 460 from him that I'm prolly gonna get woods ported.

 

[mattmc2003]

How much should i be able to get the dual port cover for? And the double felling dawgs? Should i try to bargain them in?

 

[Burvol]

I take it your falling timber everyday. You don't see the 441 up here falling timber.

That's because you'll get your arse canned for pulling wood on every stump...LOL

 

[thomas72]

Yep the 460 is not strato charged, and parts are easy to come by. I would also get a 3/4 wrap handle too. I am sure you will report in when you get it.

 

[mattmc2003]

I am reporting in!!!! Just got it. I was like a little kid on the way home, i almost pulled over and just started cutting before i got here! I didn't get to do much, but i ripped up some good sized maple rounds, and made some noodles, and wasted some wood, but it was fun. I took pictures, i'll start a new thread for all that. I got the 460 by the way.

 

[fishercat]

Congrats on the new 460

So you got 789.00 for the 575

829.00 for the 460

How much for the 441

for 40 more I would grab the 460

I guess you didn't read this 2k. DA central
