    Nope. Running the stock 7 tooth. Cutting a lot of dried hardwood logs so prefer more torque. I actually put on an 18" bar late today My two 20" bars need dressing as they started cutting crooked today.

    Cousin had a 500 it does not sip anything..
    I got 462 because I could steal his 500 and 462 uses visibly less fuel. IIRC He says he prefers 661. Since I had 462 got lil brother the 400. I think I should have kept 400o_O

    As for Husky I got 576xp from Eric VW and 445 rancher

    I've had 3 auto tunes saws, sold two of them keeping the one with heated handles and replaced with old school 3xx XP series. The old school start on the 1st pull every single time unlike hot starts with auto tunes. I can't imagine this would be any better.

    Don’t wait get the MS 400 right now and get her broken in. You won’t regret it and besides you’re missing out on all of the fun while you wait.I have the 25” Stihl light bar on mine and it’s awesome. My older son has a 500i that I can play with if the need arises:rofl: :lol:

    Had my hands on a 500I the other day with a 32” bar. What a beast! I do have 4 other chainsaws to play with until the 400.1 or the 564Xp get here,,,

    Yeah, after you click the bar / chain combo you want it tells you that it won't be available until April.
