The much anticipated ms500i is suppose to make its debut in the USA in December. What day? Winner gets nothing, so play fair.
It is December, the ms500i watch game

Limited number of selections? Blame the site.

What’s an MS500? Sounds like a big saw.
I’ll buy one if it’s not ugly like the new huskies.

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.

According to Stihl, this End Of the Year, this year. A limited release, or all out, for everybody, everywhere, who knows?

Who cares? My wood stove is glowing brightly.

In the name of honesty, it was not easy to summarize the first test in the link above. MS 500i was a chainsaw that lacked references. It has power almost like a 90cc while weighing as (kind of) a 60cc saw. This, combined with a cruel acceleration, means that the saw ends up in a completely separate class that has not existed until now.
I’m not saying the saw is not a good one, but it’s the manufacturers’ release dates on new products that have become a joke. Especially the imported or foreign ones.
Anticipation .....
So many variables involved. I don't see it as a"joke". When it arrives, it arrives

I am eager to see it out. I doubt anybody in my area will buy one, but I hope I am wrong. I would love to do some cutting with it.

Husqvarna will answer back with a shidassconglomerate quickly slapped together fuel injected saw.But it's still a Sthil, who cares!
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.
Waiting for the 581/585/588/590 or whatever it will be called

One good thing about the 500 is it has a primer bulb, looks like it's still got the overly complex flippy caps

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.

They liked the chain
.Too bad you guys didn't have a 28/32 and a nice RS chain for it, sounded like it wanted a lot more

They did put a square ground on it later but I didn't get a chance to run it.They liked the chain

I bet it was flying through the wood.
How were the vibes compared to the 462, smooth saw?
Just a smooth as the 462. Nice quick throttle response.
