I have an opportunity to pick up a brand new Husqvarna 576 xp (24" bar) for $550 from a friend. I was looking at the Husqvarna 555 and 562 xp originally, as I am going to be using this saw for cutting firewood and cleaning up the woods where I hunt. There are some big oak and elm, so I want to run at least a 20" bar. I do have a Poulan 40cc saw for the smaller stuff and was using my dad's Husqvarna 257 for the last few years (20" bar).
Looking for advice on which saw would be the best fit for my needs, as there is no way for me to try them out before purchase. Is the 576 xp going to be to much saw for cutting firewood. I am 5'11" 210 lbs, so the weight isn't a huge concern.
Thanks,
Dankman
550$ for a 576 is a good price and its less than a new 555 if the 576 is in good shape that sounds pretty good
