440/460 or the 7900
.
Good advice, either saw is great, 7900 $150 cheaper, great saw fast and smooth. Man what a saw, hard to beat the 7900 for the money.

How surpricing! :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:
My understanding is the 575 is a new saw (again) this year, like the 346 is a new model this year.
Jred 2171 would be my bet at this point,.,.,
Allot more if you live in Canada!Why pay more for a 460 when you can have a 7900???:biggrinbounce2:
I am a little worried about that myself, but Life is short might as well have fun wile you can. Give me a nice light 7900 over a clunky 460 any day.:jawdrop:When the EPA AND EU make it history in a couple of years or less.. what quanity of parts will Dolmar stock, and for how long, for the few thousand (maybe less?) sold in North America??

What may I ask is the issue with the 575Xp?. I own one and it has been used alot lately and I have never had issues with it my 575xp is one of the best damned saws I have ever owned. yes the dolmars are nice saws but I never went for one as dolmar dealers are rare in new zealand stihl are also good I have owned a stihl and liked it but at the time the husky offered me more bang for my dollar when i bought the 575 and i do not regret buying it
For one, they are terribly heavy for what they replaced, the 372. Some of them where haveing problems with lean siezing, cranks breaking, bearings siezing. It was hurried itno production, I guess to apease the market. But should have been tested more, very unlike what Husky would normaly do!!! (I love the Husky saws that I love, and I hate the ones I hate. It goes for any brand, so I am NOT bashing on them!!!)
It had a lot of MAJOR problems, I hope they can get them sorted out.
The guys like you, that got good ones, always give good reviews.
I know what you mean yes there is always the occasional saw sold with a manufacturing fault saw that can blemish the reputation of a particular model then there is the downright cheap and nasty throw away saws. yes I do admit there is a bit of weight in the 575 but I can still comfortably maneuver it around a log while limbing. I never say to people not to bash a particular brand as I do understand people do have bad experiences with products and others don't.
.....
The SMLE sure was a top notch bolt action, but the Steyr made Krags were even better......
I'd go with the 460 instead of the 7900.
Although the word is the 7900 is a heck of a saw.
