View attachment 280135 View attachment 280137 View attachment 280138 View attachment 280139 View attachment 280140 Yes, I did make a conventional face.
The 500 pulls the 36 fairly well given the circumstances. Not like a 661, but definitely better than a 461 in equivalent form. It feels like a wet noodle though with a 36 as far as the handling. But it works.
It definitely allows snow and moisture to get to the air filter, but I haven’t had any issues regarding that.
Why didn't you cut all the tree's before it snowed?

so basically hopefully you won’t be completely wrecked by the time you’re 60 with the lighter unit?
Well, I’m sure it’ll help with longevity as well as daily endurance. Less weight should be better on the body.
Personally, I’d rather run a 661 with a lightweight bar than say a 461 or 500 with a full-weight.

I appreciate @CLEARCUT honesty and realistic opinions on his findings on this saw in a working environment. Focuses on not just the good, but talks about what can be improved. Great thread.
Yeah, there’s good and bad about each saw. I’m glad to be able to give a report.

I love my 661’s, and I want more of them

This thing is awesome with a 28 in this stuff. I’d hate for the 500 to cartwheel down the hill here. Or myself for that matter, lol.
