What does anyone think about the husky 575 ...been offered one at a good price !

575 was replaced by the 576, it did have some issues, it would have to be a really good price, main bearing issues, crankcase issues, 576 was a much better saw.

It's in immaculate condition

Sold a 372 to get one . Hated it sold it on and got another 372 . Would rather not have one . Pointless saw as it weighs nearly as much as a 385 ( now 390 ) but makes no more noticeable power than a 372 .

I had a 576 , deceptively bad saw . Didnt get a year out of it . My policy on buying secondhand after a long time buying saws both new and secondhand is to buy only proven pro models such as 372 , 357 ,346 Stihl 460 etc .

My second policy is to only pay a price that will allow for them having a new Piston and visit to Spud and still not be stupidly dear when its all added up . The only exception id make is if i knew the seller and trusted him .

Ive seen mint looking saws be dogs and saws that looked more fit for the skip be reasonable old workhorses .

Save your money unless its very reasonable or you trust him .

Just got one in for repair it does seem a bit cumbersome and bulky

If it's got the same anti vibes as a 576 it will be so much smoother in the cut than a 372 or ms460.

I appreciate those 5 series Husqys look like a lot of saw for the money and look a good tool but in my experience they werent , just passing on my experience . Best of luck with whatevever you purchase .
