i pick up a small saw ms201 rear handle selling my 550xp i think which 70 cc saw would u buy a bit nervous on husky after getting a 550xp
Reliability(maybe, we don't know yet). Possibility for end user adjustment/repair in the field(right now any MT issues=trip to dealer). The same could be said for the 462 though.how can a carb saw possibly compete?
Well let’s see, reliability, also the ability to replace your own parts without having to pay a dealer to flash them???For serious work? The new Stihl 500i. Fuel Injected.
World's first fuel injected production saw... looks to be a total game changer - how can a carb saw possibly compete?
Those old Partners are big and heavy. Not sure if a 7000 top end'll fit on a 1655 c/case?The other day a partner 1655 showed up. While unboxing it I noticed how really heavy the saw was and the bar was off of it was heavy too. It weighed more than my Huskys of similair size. Heavier than my 570’s. So is the weight vs power being factored in too.
Price Proven Longevity,reliability,affordable parts,For serious work? The new Stihl 500i. Fuel Injected.

The 462 can be converted to carbyWell let’s see, reliability, also the ability to replace your own parts without having to pay a dealer to flash them???
Lol until they start giving us software to do our own repairs it’s a no brainer in my opinion to have more people choose a carved saw
I agree, 572 is a smooth saw.There are plenty of 461 Stihls still out there, new, going at a discount. Same for the 372XP.
If you want the newest of the new, I saw a 572 with a 28” bar that impressed me much more than a 462 with tbat length bar. If you want to run a shorty, the 462 is probably fine. For anything over a two footer I think the 572 will probably pull away some.
14.7 lbs at 5.7 hp at $8507900 lb/hp is similar, and can be had well under $1k
