tinkin' bout a new saw

[wicklamulla]

Hello there, just been looking at a new Husky 372xp, Husky 576xp and a husky 570

 

Now the sales guy said the 372's have been problematic with the newer X Torq engine and not as good as the older 372's which cud take a 24inch bar but the new ones he tinks shud only have a 20inch bar max!! I have always hankered after these beauts but what ye tink ?

 

 

He reckons the 576xp X torq is a good buy and will easily take a 24inch bar, good saw?

 

but the Husky 570 he was selling (does not have XP on the side casing) is brand new but the serial number shows it to be manufactured in 2011 and has been sat on the shelf and they are now old stock and out of production, but they only want £517 including vat for it ! He reckons it'll pull a 24 inch bar no bother. so what ye tink of that saw then ? I noticed it shares the same owners hand book as the 576XP so is similar i guess but is NOT badged as an XP, so is it a semi professional saw ?

 

 

Tank yew in advance, Ken.

Cheers WoodEd, i did a bit of sniffing about on a Husky website and they state the 570 is a professional saw. I agree though i like XP on me side casings.

No worries, all I can say is the 576xp is a good saw, easily pulls a 24" bar, and I like my rakers low
