Alright guys, it's time to get a bigger saw. Currently I have a Dolmar 5100s and a Husky 359 etech which the cat muf came off after one week (also getting ready to take the plunge into porting the 359 but that's another thing). 70cc is what I'm looking at for more grunt, saw will be used for firewood as well as dropping NE hardwoods in the 16-32" range and occasionally bigger.
I'm fortunate enough to have 2 Sthil, 2 Husky, and a Dolmar dealer all within 15 minutes from my house. I do however prefer and trust one over the rest, and they deal both Sthil and Husky. I learned through trial and error about what a good dealer is worth. The other Sthil/husky dealer has always rubbed me the wrong way as well as the Dolmar one.
This is where I need your guys help. The 576 xp (standard or AT), 372 xpxt, and the 441 seem to be the choices. Can't get my hands on any 440 or 372 xp, which I got to run for a few hours and was great. I haven't run any of these so I'm looking for some opinions and experiences. Thanks
