Responding to a post that was on topic, several pages back, my 10 mm 044 was my ONLY saw for 18 years. It is a great saw and I will always keep it, but my go to saws now are my ported 462s. I'm sure they would have not trouble pulling a 28" bar, but the powerhead is so light I prefer them with the 20" light or a 24" bar. I've got bigger bars on bigger saws.
Also, I did not think there were any 372s that were lighter than a 462 … I mean, we are talking 13.2 lbs here, the same as the new 562. But there are many versions of those Husky's and I am admittedly not an Husky expert, so I could be wrong.
Jeff, I'm hoping there will still be a GTG this year, and you can run both of mine and see what you think.
Admittedly, as I get older I prefer lighter and smoother and less maintenance. (no tuning, clean air filters).
