Ima go with April 2020
Not to shabby. Like Chipper says it has a primer bulb. I got to run it/ first cut/brand new out of the box at our GTG. The owner didn' have a good chain with him so we threw a new stihl rm on it that I had. Everyone that ran it liked it.
I don't doubt you do bud.You have to feel as unrestricted as a female gymnast when you are out there cutting don't you think?
Husqvarna will answer back with a shidassconglomerate quickly slapped together fuel injected saw.
Husqvarna has become disgraceful. This is coming from a husky guy.
I hope the 500i takes husqvarna out of the industrial maket for chainsaws.
Then maybe they can start devoting more time to making a mower worth a shid.
395xp and 372xp are great.
Everything else is crap now.
That didn't surprise you did it, when was the last time a new saw rollout was on schedule.Well that didn't work out. Now 2020. Not early, middle or late 2020. Just 2020.
I guess the recall is a bit more then nothing...

Noticed you didn't put a year on there.
Good call.
My sources tell me Juneish but parts are in stock at Bryant Equipment. Wonder how much a saw would cost built from parts. I know folks have done that with NOS old saws.

It's new, got to be junk! I'll stop.I heard a rumour today that they had bad cranks...
I just stopped in to my local saw shop in northwest Montana. They now have 2 “demo” 500s, but none for sale. They told me that they are now hearing October. I told them that I was hearing rumors of them showing up in other parts of the country and he just laughed and said that he can’t even place an order yet on the website. He also told me the R model would list at $1409 with a 28” non lightweight bar. Pretty sure last time I was in they told me $1300. Supply and demand?Saw 10 of 'em new in the box in North Texas this morning!
