Hi my husky 357xp with a 20” bar is a screamer it’s like a laser. I bet it would pull a 24” bar at a push but it’s probably pushing it to much. I had an 038 magnum with a 25” bar it would pull but struggled when buried in beech. But that saw weighed a ton.

Looks a beast with the full wrap around does it get in the way of the bar nuts.

I do like the ms462 but the 500 is only £35 more. I also like the xp tho some people hate Husqvarna, the 500 seems to be the new kid on the block.

Hi I’m after a new firewood saw to harvest the blow down trees on the farms. Until now Ive managed with my 357xp 20” and Stihl ms261 16” my mate who goes half each with me on the wood has a Stihl ms361 and 241. I was looking to go up to 25 or 28” bar as some of the trees are big in the butt. I was thinking around £900 ish what would you recommend 572xp ms462 ms500 ?♂️ cheers.?

Hi all I've just picked up an old stihl 038super av magnum with a 20" bar. The saw runs ok and it starts on 4-5th pull, It's had a hard life tho the bar is worn out and the chain is had it. I want to put a big bar on it for the bigger logs. I've got a 357xp with a 20" and a ms261 with a 16" bar so I'm looking for something like 28" or 30" what's your thoughts or advice would be gladly appreciated. We have free firewood for our selfs off the farms we shoot on. Some of the fallen trees we take are over 4' thick.

It weighs a bit. What dinosaur saw is this off.

I was thinking of an offer around £300 that's how much I paid for a clean 357xp.

Hi all I've been offered this saw a husky 576xp. I'm after your thoughts on the 576xp. It comes with a 24" bar. I think its a 09 model. it has a few scuffs and marks on It but hasn't done that much work. I was wondering what to offer him.??

Husqvarna 536 LiXP Battery top handle saw.

That's the perfect saw for the wood fairies they be in and out and you'd wouldn't hear a thing. -
Interesting reading 254xp and 357xp are getting mentioned a fair bit.

Hi all, I'm sitting the van sheltering from the rain. I wondered what was the best model saw of all time. I know the husky fans will shoot down the stihl fans I got both so I sit on the fence
-
Hi it's running sweet and cutting fast. I don't know if they tached it tho they probably turned it down a bit ??
-
Saw back up and running.new piston fitted by blackwood chainsaw no damage to the pot £120. They said castrol 2 stroke oil is no good in an XP saw 😐??

I thought I'd stir the nest he he

Hi I thought I'd ask what's best stihl or husqvarna what's your thoughts.

Hi mate I bought new bolts the other day after you told m6 1 mm thread. I dogged them up tight but they still rattled loose I'm not saying 357xp is a crap saw its an animal but oak and ash must shake everything loose. Nothing seems to fall off my stihl.
