Opinion has become fact, nobody respects anyone, no one listens, just react with emotion, tell people off, get told off, call someone out, get called out, the list goes on. We've all been guilty, it just depends if you are self-aware and fix the problem.
Boys they're more important things in life. We all like saws and engines, at least most of us do, that's why we're here. We don't have to be a full time logger to have an idea of what's going on, but at the same time real world experience is in measurable and invaluable. Respect each other as best we can and move forward.
The 572 so far seems like good saw, and I bet the 462 and 500i are too. Time will bring out their weaknesses. I have the most run time on the 572, my opinion is it's over built, a bit too heavy for my taste in a 70cc saw, the oil pump on mine seems a little weak, the filter stays clean forever, but some fine dust does get in. The AT works perfectly so far, even in the heat, wish the 372 had AT and a single piece top, as I still like the feel of that saw better. Yes I'm just a lowly firewood cutter, stopped selling in 2012 so I just heat my home and my brothers, about 20 cord combined a year.
