I have a 501p coming in a month or so, which I believe is very similar. I can report back
I’ts rare in the UP in Jan or February where it doesn’t snow 3” every night. From Newberry to Houghton it’s common
Stihl has a new .325 narrow kerf chain called RS Pro. I’d try that or switch to a 3/8 picco/lo pro setup. For the latter you’d need to also change...
Some say .063 carries oil further down the bar. Some have tried both and see no difference. Sugi is a good bar that will last forever, but they...
Never run one personally. Everyone says they’re a nice smooth saw though
It’s gotta be. The 570 is husky’s only big saw with a 1 pc cylinder/air filter cover. The other variants are all 2 pc
Sure. Makes no difference to me. Run it through the paces for a week and let me know what it needs
Depends on how many and how bad they are. $7-10
He files, so I’m guessing he’ll say no. But there are a few of us on here with a square grinder who will do it for you if he won’t
There is a new lightweight bar out made by Cannon called a Duralight. They are a little bit pricey, but I think they are worth it. Even lighter...
Was curious. In your original post you mentioned a 461. A 462 is a nice lightweight saw. Stick with a 20 or 25” lightweight bar on it
Are you planning on getting a 461 or 462?
It’s decent enough chain. It seems to be strong with a good chassis, cutters stay sharp reasonably well. But if you were to compare it fresh off...
Tssssssssss.... Stihl stuff. Does it burn to touch it? Lol
Wrap them up in your hand like a coil spring and put it in a ziplock. Then just unroll when you need it
The problem with real efi on chainsaws is the weight. In a car or sled, an extra 10-20 lbs worth of electronics doesn’t mean much. That’s why...
Bump
Scott is a good friend of mine too. He’s comparing it to the 462, which is a little faster with a shorter bar. 72ish cc. 500 is 79cc
The thin stuff is a liner panel for a shop interior. I bet it won’t be long and it’ll be standard for roofing. Seems to be the trend through the years
