Now that I've calmed down;
There is some "movement" on the 572 front.
One of the (many) hold ups has been this insistence that the saws be shipped with the new C85 chain, which has been in short supply. With or without the chain, saws are going to ship. They are very excited about this chain. Until I see prices...………..
I MAY finally have an answer on the outside spike. Tech service pulled up the bill of materials for me, and the outer spike is listed as being in there. Fingers crossed until I actually open the boxes. Hopefully it's INSTALLED and the side covers don't have to be drilled. 50/50 confidence on this til we see it with our own eyes. Sure hope they are there cause I just ordered the last 3 from Husky and they are out until April 25.
The formerly overpriced wrap handle is now in kit form like the rest of the saws. Retail is $30. Diagram a bit vague on whether the large spikes are in the kit, but probably so. May even include another side cover, cause the large spike won't fit on the standard cover. And...…….they are also backordered until April 25. lol
There have only been 2 changes to the saws from last year. Different throttle cable and a better sealing oil hose. My saw from the UK had the old hose and didn't leak. Some saws leak more with the thinner oils. That Kinetix all season crap seems to leak in EVERY saw I put it in. I don't recommend that slurry.
Keep your radio tuned to this station for further bulletins. There's gonna be some.
