My 572 has been faultless from the get-go & I've been ranting with it daily. No hot start problems at all on the revised version. Nicely balanced with a Sugihara on board as well,, but good on stock also. Can't concur about the rev-bogging of the 500i, brief was my go with it one afternoon, nothing outstanding in difference worth noting between that & the 572 except the Stihl didn't feel as balanced to me under load or in the hand...but that's arguably down to 'the tools yer used to' factors

My girl swings a saw. She grew up in the wild. Could dismantel an engine aged 12. She's no ticketed, but she'd put the average boy to shame. She can run a band saw & still flick heels on for the local bar like a slinky malinky. More power to ye girls.

Chainsaw boots n trousers needed
TMac replied to Arbmunkey's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Stay away from Arbtek lately. Do you need boots for swinging a home saw off ebay or getting in a bar fight proffesionally? You could blow 200 on boots ye don't need easily. Saw Wellies from Husq are a start. -

Fell it. The stump in the background tells the story alone. Border hedge the line in reverse if hedging suits you, drill the stumps, Eco plug it, & walk away. No being a dick, but that spar was executed by an idiot. Clean the line. -
Hi lads, & ladies, long time lurker. I started my intro with a tiny rant on another thread, but thought I'd better do the intro thread also. Not good at talking about myself. Have a tiny bar, well oiled...oh wait, this isn't ArbDate

Just shared this with my groundie. Even he ranted. There is absolutely no need for that sort of butchery. It also leaves the cambiums open to disease ingress. If it doesn't die it potentially goes into epicormic meltdown. They basically turned a tree into a widow maker...something they were trying to avoid from what I can make of it. It gives the rest of us a bad name. They used zero enviromental sensitivity...don't get me started on cuts...all of it. Hi from Scotland by the way. Started on a rant as an intro
