70cc saw

[Joe Newton]

I think its recognized that the 576 is as smooth as a cashmere cod piece . I do however prefer the older 372XP . Does not feel such a lump .

 

 

Wow, that's smooth.

 

I've been trying to get one with heated handles.

 

The cod piece, that is.

I had considered a 372xp as it's a good price but is the 576xp a better saw?

For me its the other way round . Have had both and prefer the 372 . The 576 is a tinsie winsie bit more powerful than the 372 but weighs almost as much as a 385 ( now 390 ) which is noticeably more powerful . Because of that I did not see the point of it to be honest .

"Smooth as a cashmere cod piece" lol

 

Thanks Stubby. I'm having that one!

 

It might even surpass my usual "smoother than snake sh?t."

The 372xpg is NLA in the UK, but if you email husky, they may bring it back.

Not sure if 461 is available with heated handles in UK? 441 is.

My 576xp is now 3 years old and hasn't missed a beat.

Runs 18" like stink and pulls a 26" and 28" bar through anything, so a 20 will be no problem to it.

Vibes are nice and low.

Can't speak for the Stihls though. Except to say they aren't the right colour ;-)
