SELLING The new Husqvarna 564xp

[JimBear]

Well, after running a couple hundred 500i and everyone talking about how much of a racehorse they are, and then realizing it runs very similar to a 7900 or 461, I’m not quite on the wagon yet when they are saying the 564 runs like a 572. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that it runs just about identical to a 562

That's my attitude. I ran a buddy's stock 500i and it was like, meh. A well-tuned 046, 7900, 372XPW, or 681 will do just as much work in the hands of a skilled operator. Given the hot-start issues a lot of people are having, I'll stick with my old saws.

I was the same when I ran them, they’re good but not life shattering like all the claim is with them.

So what you gents are saying is that the 500i is the 6.5 Creedmore of saws ….
