Howdy!
I finally decided to take one of these newfangled saws for myself. A lot of 462's and 572's have passed through here, but none stayed. The MS500i will stay for a little while at least. Finding a favorable spot in the saw lineup around here will be no short order, especially in the 75-90cc range. It'll see some stiff competition in that range.
So, here goes the thread. Going to run it with the 28" Tsumura with Stihl RS chain initially. Also going to run it with the ES Light 20 and 25" if I can talk a 25 out of my dealer. Otherwise, I'll run it with my 24" Tsumura.
Hoping to offer up some findings and insight on the saw for those that have questions or curiosities.
It will be receiving some mods straight away after break in.
