    I watched that earlier today. Look nice and all. 592 has some very tall shoes to fill.

    Donny Walker said he ordered a bunch of 390’s.
    16.7lbs is pretty light for a muscle saw. Not fully clear on what the Bluetooth is for. The boss gets to see how many smoke breaks your taking?

    Firmware updates and diagnostics without a dealer visit.

    The 585 is the version to get
    Carbed as everything should be.
    The primer bulb still sickens me
    A real saw doesn't have primer bulbs.

    I just googled firmware update. I still don't get it. Something about user experience is all I got out of it. Maybe it will play wagner? flight of the valkyrie of the the muffler?:D

    Not sure if you are saying this tongue-in-cheek, or really mean it. But I'll take the primer bulb, thank you!

    I bet you would like running that hoooskvarna 90 on the table. No primer to mess around with.

    It will interesting to see what msrp is. I won’t be getting any saw costing over 1k, unless they give me another refund.

    Yep, it's above my pay grade. I have a well ported 394, which is probably 10 horses. I really don't need new. Want, yes. But I'd have to sell some to swing it and I'm not interested in that right now.

    Yep, I don't care. If it starts consistently within one or 2 pulls, that would be nice. Mine take 4-7 after sitting for a while, of course they ain't stock.

    I really mean it
    None of my 20+ saws have primer bulbs
    Most are 2 series and some 3 series
    And don't take more than 4 pulls
    To start.
    Primer bulbs and line's to them are just a failure point.
    They all deteriorate especially with pump gas
    I have to fix them for customers all the time.
