Shindaiwa 575

[Deleted member 149229]

Just saw the ad, won't see the saw until tomorrow. Guy says the 575 runs and oils as it should (heard that before), wants $150. Seems like a pretty good buy, opinions?

My opinion is take 2 pills and see the CAD doctor in the morning lol.

Knew I could count on you for support. See you at the next CAD Anonymous meeting.

I got your back Dahmer, don't worry. And don't tell any of the other CAD brothers, but I have my eye on another 262XP

Sorry about that, we will try to lead you down less bad decision roads in the future. We are certainly far from poster children. Didn't your parents warn you about us growing up?

Just kidding with the pic. I have a fleet of Shindaiwa saws. This one gave me fits the other day so had to put in a new carb kit, runs like a champ again.
I spend more time running the 488s and 500s just because they better fit the size of wood I normally cut, but if I only had one saw it would be a 550, 575, or 577.
The 575 is an older model built like a tank. Maybe a bit heavier than some of the newer saws, but you aren't going to find much plastic on it.
I've run 24" bars on them before, but more suited to a 20".
For what you paid, I think you got a good deal. Take your money down to the Home Depot and see what you could get for that money and I think you will be happy by comparison.
Post up a report after you get it.

Kinda makes me wish I would've held on to my 550
