After work today stopped in at my local Husky Dealer and started looking at bigger saws. Currently I'm stuck in the 60 cc range with the MS 361 and my redone Husky 261 with the 262XP jug and piston. Both run great but - with this place you can never have too many saws!!
Well to my suprise my dealer had the New Edition 575 XP on the shelf - 5.8 hp14.5 lbs, set up with a 20" 3/8 bar and chain, as well as a few 372 XP's with 20" bars as well. The 372 is about $20 cheaper.
He just returned from a Husky meeting and his distributor said Husky will continue the 372 here through the balance of this year. He also said all XP's will be getting the Grey/silver clutch cover as the year progresses according again to the distributor.
Well here's my dillema - I'm thinking about going all Husky again and that means probably selling my MS 361 thats only 6 months old and getting either the 372XP or trying the NE 575XP. The Stihl's been great and has only had about 8 tanks through it but my rebuilt 261 Husky really hauls the mail now with the 262XP jug and piston. It's a tough decision.
