If it traveled through Ohio, it may have Fed Ex'd jacked.... Cause I think there's a few wood hoarders in that state...
That MS 440 was kidnapped. . Just as this 576 would have been lol.. Congrats Chvymn99! That's a beautiful saw you have there! And another coming on Wednesday (I believe in catch and release)
No more big fluffy 'XP' stickers to my knowledge. Perhaps Terry or Spike60 knows for sure but you can't order them, there s no P#, nothing. The story I was told is that HVA considered them a promotional iten when they ran out that was the end of it, and HVA does not stock or make them available.
My buddy has a 576XP and that is one nice saw... and his isn't ported and it stihl screams.... Let us know what you think when you cut something. and your right about that box would have never made it through Ohio without an inspection by one of us along the way...
Interested to hear your results. I have a 576 autotune that May get massaged once the warranty runs out.
