LMAO. Yes Sir.

12 cc, 2 pounds and only .2 hp difference than my 066, I want one. Just wonder if it will have the same low end grunt

I doubt it, but your back will appreciate it.

Today I could see one of the first MS 500i W here in Germany (But I still/already have the MS 462). They did not have many of them and the next ones will be available Fall 2019. So I don´t think that you will see the MS 500i W over the pond before fall 2020.

It’s quite a bit smaller then the 661. Very cool. I’m getting excited now. Thanks for sharing the pics.

The MS 500i has the same size as the MS 462.

Maybe to early to ask since the 500 is just now being launched but is there a wrap handle and dual dawgs for them? Maybe they share the same parts as a 462???

 

[nohoff]

Dual dawgs are no problem as they have the same clutch cover as a MS 462.
There is no wrap handle available right now.
Germany is no wrap handle territory.

Things take time. They're just now learning how to sharpen chains

With respect to square chisel cutters I think you are totally right.

In Germany you can have an insurance for almost everything, but no one
dares to allow square chisel chains in particular.
Hence most people here do not even know this kind of cutters.

I'm so hawt for this saw.

The 462 and 500 are VERY narrow powerheads.

Something different. These 2 were posted in the CRG today.

Looks like it would be one for the collector types.

i was thinking the same when they posted. Pure collection item to never gass them and sell some years after

Until you fire it up and cut a log with it...[emoji2957]

 

[ucm931]

I bet the price tag is scary.......

 

[Cut4fun]

#253 the guy said has the 25 on it and heading out to cut. Just a saw to him. Same thinking I would have. But some collect such.

Same prices from what I understand.

 

[ucm931]

Some people see "special edition" of some kind and jack the price to exorbitant levels.
