    I had a 572 for awhile and someone else decided they liked it more than me I did like it but I didn’t notice that much between it and the 372

    But it does look like I may have to get a double for one class of saw so a 572 may be the one to double up

    Had a 372 for several years , very good saw. I do like the computerized carburetor of the 572. Never thought I would say that but it has made a believer out of me

    I didn’t dislike the auto tune by any means but I also don’t have much issue with having to tune it either I don’t change much in elevation so it’s not something I have to change very often

    Of the saw class to have double of that would be my choice as well. Good all around use & reliable runners. It's such a terrible thing when they practically "force" you to buy an extra isn't it? :rofl: :lol:

    I’m a proponent for multiple 70cc saws, but isn’t the 592 and 585 supposed to be available next month?

    I'm pretty old school, I said a few years back that I'd wait on the Autotune /M Tronic stuff & I did. After running some & hearing other's experience with them, I think I'd do it. The power & reliability both seem to be there.

    I had a 572 before but it got stolen but I didn’t notice a lot of difference between it and the 372 I have now

    I’m no Husky guy, but I don’t see a need for a 60 cc say in a multiple saw line-up. I’d wait for the new saws to come out if possible and compare specs between the 572 and 585. I’d hate to buy a 572 then want a 585 in a couple months! Man would that suck to have to get another saw!:saw::saw::saw:

    From what I’ve seen the 585 is closer to a replacement for the 390 than a 572 I think and I don’t foresee myself wanting to get rid of my ported 390 for it

    You seem to have top-end saws covered.

    Any need for a lightweight pruning saw? A top handle, maybe?
