New saw time, 576 or ms441

[Tyz05]

Haha! Very good. The 660 will service a multiple of uses.

ook and now the debate widens as i see hodge has a ms660 for sale (hodge i have messaged you) with 36 inch bar.

 

What is opinion on these saws, and would it be insane to run a 20 inch bar on it?

 

Cheers

Quite happy to go for a 576XP as my medium saw, but wondering if auto-tune is worth it?

Good/bad comments?

[WoodED]

Cool. How long have you been using it?

Well i wasnt brave enough to go for the 576 with auto tune, so went for a 372 with 20 inch bar instead. Order went into jonesie about 45 mins ago. Now its big kid time waiting on the courier tommorow or next day with it.

 

Thanks to everyone for all the advice.

I've taken the plunge and gone for the 576xp. Decided against auto-tune for the moment.
