Hi folks, first post on here. I'm based in the UK cutting mainly standing and wind thrown broad leaf, using 20", 24" and occasionally 28" bars.
At present I run a 357 (back up and limbing) and a 575 XP for felling and crosscutting. The 575 has been a good saw for me with no problems however I’m aware of the issues with them and wary of buying another and getting a bad one.
I’m after a second large saw and am torn between what to get, Is the 576 radically different to the 575 and should I consider it?
On paper I prefer the 460 but is the power difference noticeable over the 441 particularly with the larger bars. I’m working at low altitude and uk type temperatures so none of the strat engine altitude issues.
372 I’ve used before but I'm not that keen on them overall although I never had any issues.
Money isn’t an issue, but as I like to keep my saws reliability and cutting ability is. BTW, in the event of my 357 going down I like the agility of a 70cc saw so a 90cc saw isn’t really an option.
