I like tax time

[Macclay]

Popped into my local dealer to order a 372, I get told those horrible words "backorder", so grabbed a 576. Anyone had any joy with these? I must admit I didn't like the 575, a bit ...um...sterile. Anyhoo I do like the shiny clutch cover, the first thing to go will be the stupid chain catcher and dog set-up, I have previously ground an additional point where the chain catcher attatches on 72's with good results. Does anyone know if, say, 385/394/395 dogs will fit? The search feature being down is a pain. Anyway heres some pics

Heres one with its new friends

You need to buy more saws and chain to offset the big bucks you are earning as an Agronomist

I got a rude awakening with a recent $13,000 a year payrise. When you work it out on paper it's a $250 week increase. By jumping up a tax bracket (or two?) I pocketed only 1/2 that
Ah well, I don't mind paying for the willfully unemployed and refugees...

Oh, and I don't need more saws Rick, I'm selling a few instead

'grats on the new saw. rep sent and hoping you will repay with a video of that booger in some wood. the 576 has been out a while and no one is talking about them much.

576 is a good saw. Kinda wish I still had the one I bought last year. It's smoother and more torquey than a 372. It is a little less nimble for limbing. 372 spikes and 385 spikes will fit.

Nice saw! Rep sent.

Heck ya,

You gonna do a vid in that pink tutu?

While riding the tricycle?

Maybe after he drinks that six-pack?



Edit--Can't access the emoticons to show that I'm joking.

Whats the problem with the chain catcher?

I've never noticed anything negative with my 385 which is the same set up.

Am I missing something?

What on earth prompted Husky to put that ugly a$$ silver clutch cover on their saws?

So dumb asses like me would spend another $55 or so to buy a new clutch cover for a brand new saw. 346XP in particular. The silver sucks period. When my 346 was new, it couldnt make it home in the front seat of my Chevy truck without getting a scar.

Nice and funny post!!
I've read about the 346xp silver clutch cover paint on this site and other owners...
WTH was Husky thinking??
What was wrong with leaving it orange?? I think it sucks visually!!
This ain't like whitewall tires on a '55 Buick Roadmaster!! ....:msp_thumbup:
I told the local Husky dealer I'd buy one if he'd change the cover..
Wouldn't do it...so I no buy........still want one though....

Dunno how to do the multiple quote thing...sooooo

No stunt riding here, Ahhhh, the 6 pack, that was from a service wire i pruned for a little ole lady while doing a council removal. I get that all the time. I haven't bought beer in ages:msp_thumbsup:

I hate the dog setup, you cant rip big logs or flushcut heavily barked trees with them little fellas, straight to the bin!

I don't mind it, after a couple of months it'll be all banged up. To be honest, I don't care if it's purple polka dots as long as it does what it says in the shiny brochure that came with it:cool2:
