I like the 353 and the 570 so being able to save a few buck and getting one with Redmax's name on it don't matter to me. I doubt they cut much different in all red, :) As for the new top handle I've been demoing that 3500 series saw few the past 2 weeks or so and it runs real well not the best built saw but has a great power to weight ratio and some real guts in the cut while limbing. at about 1/2 the cost of a 200T. :cheers:

I just picked up a Redmax 3500t today from the distributor and heres what I can tell right away. There is a lot of plastic and if it is going to hang from a belt its going to get really beat up. The sticker on the unit says huskvarna made in China. That right there answers some ?'s. Also the exhaust blows out the top above the bar in front and when I was looking it over as it ran I really got a nose full. I'll try it out and give it a chance though. I had a lawn service for over 25 years and nobody made better string trimmers or backpack blowers than Redmax. Everybody here either uses redmax small equipment or wishes they had one. what do you all think?:biggrinbounce2:

I've been running one for a few weeks it was running rich and I could not get it lean enough without removing the limiter caps but now it seems fine and I'm happy with the power to weight ratio so fat but time will tell if all this plactic will hold up.

Bingo, those redmax's will probably retail for less than the husky. So that will be a good selling point. My redmax dealer was telling me about the new saws, then I told him they were huskys in red. He was a bit surprised, but also happy to see Redmax expanding the lineup.
