Had no issues at all with mine, hammered it straight off the shelf.

That’s good to no thanks for the feed back

Had mine since April, and only got it's first proper use last week. Bar oil adjuster shat itself. I know of a few who have had other issues including total rebuilds when less than 6 months old (under warranty) and I know others who have had no problems. I'd take a 372 over one at the moment if I had the chance! ?

Mine's had no issues in the 18months I've had it, only does a couple of hours a week but it's a great saw.

 

A friend had the oil adjuster break straight away, luckily a simple fix and no problems since.

thanks everyone will keep an eye but loving the saw at the moment she got some power fair play weather it will hold up time will tell

I've been using my one  for two years now with a 28" on oversize Spruce and hardwoods no problems. I prefer it to my 500i . Very smooth and good on fuel. I did gut the exhaust which woke it up a bit.

I have neither 500i or 572 . ( have a spud ported 372 )  Interested to know what it is that you prefer over the 500i ?
