Most impressive saws stock I have ever ran was a 064 and 562xp.

MS500i
Hands down, take anything less than 96cc’s, this saw is most impressive stock saw ever

I would also take a 462 over a 562, being they are the exact same weight (both 13.2 lbs), both for reliability and performance.

Shocker...

Price alone makes the 2260 the choice for me, brand new under $500.00 nib. Plus jreds are sexy saws.

And here we go again.

I’d have to agree with you guys. It’s a very impressive stock saw.

500i did beat jeff’s saw with his fancy belly bawh in the cants...

You can get NIB 2260 for under $500 right now?

That's what I PD for the last one. PD 625.00 shipped for the other nib

I am....rank with jealousy.

Honestly a ported 2260 is all the saw I need. Been problem free for over 2 seasons of cutting.

I got $15 into a Poulan woodshark that beats any hand saw I own by a wide margin.
But it does weigh more.

I've got only $300 and a lot of time (including porting) into a Asian 440 Big Bore that runs fairly strong and has not come apart yet!!!

Plus, I learned a lot doing it!

Your grandkids will thank you.

Well... stock it’s only 2 seconds slower than a ported 390xp with a 32” bar in oak. This is a well broken in 572. 390 got a lot more torque but the 572 does good for its size. Yours should be an animal modified.

Nice test Mason.

A good smaller saw will generally keep up with a bigger saw in small wood.

Once you bury that bar fully, I suspect the 390XP will open a can of whoop ass on the 572.

No replacement for displacement plain and simple.

The 572 is a nice runner for sure. Spike let me run one in CT and it was impressively smooth and powerful.

 

[huskyboy]

Thanks Doc, I agree with you once you bury the bar it definitely changes things a little.

Went racing down in Missouri with @Hedgerow and @Bobby Frank yesterday and grabbed a couple vids. Good times!

So the 500 will be taking lunch moneys but

I can have two of these for the price of that or port the 2260 and make the new 500 guy cry and buy a port job. Plus you still have money for a good steak dinner and some quality beer or wine with the wifey ;-) Simple arithmetic!
I'd bet most crews end up with two new 2260's vs the one 500
