step up from a MS290

[SawTroll]

i tried out a husky 570 this past weekend, wasn't broke in yet, 68cc just under 15lbs not much heavier than the 290 and 1.1 hp more. i liked it but it's hard for me going from my modded jonny to a stock saw. but i did like the fact it is way better on fuel than my jonny and lighter too. 680.00 or so with a 18" 3/8 .50 chain, sure your dealer can do better though.

Forget the 570, the 576xp is a tad lighter, and has almost 1 hp more......

what about the MS660.. I know its a big saw, but my dealer has one used for 600.. he sold it a year ago and the guy traded it for a 361...I don't mind the weight, I haul 100 pound sacks of grain and bales of hay every day.. any disadvantages to going bigger than I need???

Nothing, if you don't mind the weight.

hey if you dont mind the size enjoy just use your head cutting. My question why did the guy bring it back? I would never trade that saw in :greenchainsaw:

Maybe he minded the weight afterall, after thinking he wouldn't?
