CLEARCUT meets the 500i

[CLEARCUT]

Just finished a little downhill strip on William’s Ridge up Steamboat. 500 is still a-goin.

Question...should I get another 572, or am I just crazy, lol. I’m getting urges again for a super-smooth, fuel-sipping saw.

 

[Infinitejest]

You're crazy for sure, lol. I've spent enough time jumping back and forth. 500i's and 91 drivers...I'll never change...until I do.....
572's are sweet saws.
Can't go wrong with a 572 or 500i in my opinion. Good problems to have.

O definitely

All my Stihl mount bars have been modded so I can run my husky loops.
I run 93, 105 and 115 dl 3/8 on my stihls. Makes things way easier. No more 91, 104 or 114 drive link loops for me. I like the extra reach of the longer loops...lol

I guy needs at least 2 of each, 500i and 572xp...

Don't forget the 046

Don't forget the 046

Runs as good or better than a 461 both ported. YMMV

You’re all monsters! Encouraging me to get more saws! Inconceivable!

Back up Thunder Mountain with the 500. Overlooking the flat I was cutting on when I was here last a couple or so weeks ago. I’m starting to notice bug dust coming out of the burned trees...

Got a few bigger ones along the line yesterday with the 500. That’s a 36 leaned up against the tree. Threw them side-hill and rolled them down into the road for the shovel.

I can’t help but notice the combo can. I really like mine. It has held up well for me other than the fuel nozzle spring is starting to stick after 2 years. I put a normal cap on the oil side. This one caught my eye online I like that it is metal and holds more than the husqvarna can was wondering if any of you guys have tried it yet?.... https://www.sawsuppliers.com/products/metal-combo-fuel-oil-can-all-weather

My brother in law sells those, I just haven’t tried one yet. They seem built well, but heavier than the Husky can.
My Husky can is doing the same thing, but I’ve changed the nozzle once before. I’ve had it since the end of 2017. I’m plenty happy with it and it’s service life so far.

Do you notice if the husky combo can expand under harsh sunlight?

What kind of bar is on the saw?
Hardnose bar?

I've stayed away from plastic and stick with metal due to the heat where I cut. But I don't have to hike with my gears, so don't have to factor weight.
