Wasn’t really planning on it as I had my eye on a MS461 but was having trouble locating one. Meanwhile, a friend of mine (that is a Husky guy) sent me this link to a 572XP as NIB. Went and looked at it, haggled a bit and well......came home with it this afternoon. Sorry Chud and my fellow Stihl guys. Hope I can still be in the Stihl club as well since I have a 362?? Kinda excited and wanted to share a couple pictures with you guys...
This thing is pig for sure. I didn’t really want such a long bar either, but the deal was a little too good to walk away from. My 362 has been flawless and expect to keep being so. Hope to put it in some wood next weekend.
I was thinking about doing that for sure. Haven't looked into where I can purchase from yet as I just brought it home late yesterday evening. Do you have any suggestions for best price on a full wrap?
Guy I bought it from said that was the original tank of fuel that was in it and appears to be 1/2 - 3/4 of a tank....it literally is like BNIB... Will probably take a few tanks to reach its potential from what I have been reading. It will definitely be fun along the way....
I actually went the other way with my 390XP. Mine came with a full wrap. I went to a standard wrap after I managed to bend the full wrap by grazing it with a sledge....don't ask. The full wrap was always in my way when cutting the stump down closer to the ground in order to get every little bit of wood out of the tree I could.
This has crossed my mind as well. Friend of mine that sent me the saw I bought, has a full wrap on a 372. It's is really nice when felling, so you can hold onto the side but he admitted it does get in the way....
After sharpening the 32" bar a couple of times, I ain't stumping with it anymore. I'll use the 450 with a crappy chain so when I hit the dirt, rocks, t-posts, 55 gallon drums, tire rims, bobcat frames, semi-truck trailers etc, I don't get so mad. Maybe I'm exaggerating a bit with the semi-truck trailers. Never hit one of those yet.
Yeah, I can definitely understand that! Could always run a semi-chisel skip tooth chain. Won't cut as fast though. I run semi-chisel on my 346XP. It holds up better in dirtier wood.
