autotune and mtronic have been around a very long time. nothing new... I guess I have been running them for 15 years and have not had an issue with either of them in more than a dozen saws running commercially. In my opinion the ergonomics of the 550xp are much better than the 261 but that is...

it will run just fine @50:1

They are great, I guess I got a 576xp at 12-15 years ago and have been running them since, never a problem with any of them...

You can say the same for anything you hear in the states, the PNW trees vs trees in the east are completely different and alot of the things that are the gold standard out west don't apply to the east...

The 576 is kind of a Frankenstein, you have the 2 series, 3 series that all are similar to each other in construction. The 5 series excluding the 576. I believe it was the first husqvarna strato saw and The only saw that is similar is the 575.

That is because they can not sell them in developed countries... Regulations is what is driving electric. I don't think anyone wants electric, not even the manufacturers, but they can only sell and manufacturer what they legally can... Third world countries do not demand new models like the...

The 201 has been out 11 or 12 years...

With how hard they are pushing battery saws I think we might be seeing the last generation of gas saws being developed. What is the oldest design for stihl and husqvarna? ms201 and the 550xp??? Thoughts?

In my not so scientific bar oil test I seemed to be going through a lot of bars, getting less than a year out of stihl 241 bars, 84dl husqvarna bars and not very long on 2511t echo bars and 16" stihl 200t bars. I had ran stihll orange oil for years, switched to tsc brand and I believe in my mind...

Hard to say a legend is underrated, That saw had a long long run and they were very very good saws to anyone who got one. I still have 2 385's that I have been abusing in my tree service for 15 years i guess. It was really ahead of its time as it was one of the first big saws that wouldn't make...

I cut for a living, and honestly the difference in a 3 series husqvarna vs any rubber mount stihl is night and day. the same can be said on a 5 series husqvarna or a 201,241,261,361,661 vs the older ones. The old ones might hold up riding around the bed of a truck better for 30 years but in no...

all a 395xp needs is a 42" bar and a huge tree...

Thanks, I’ll give one a try… hopefully I can get it back together this winter lol… took it apart this spring and needed a saw so I bought a 620p to replace it..

Got a 2011 or 2012 562xp that finally gave up… not sure how it lasted as long as it did but has anyone bought the crankcase??? I can’t find any info on it, will my old stuff fit on the new case?

But where did that power come from lol
