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 ….

The Creedwhore seems to make fanboys rub their nipples relatively the same amount, yes

Gun association. I like it. Which is the 10/22 of saws?

346 without a doubt

If only they still made 346's like they make 10/22's...

They kinda do but in a roundabout way. Can still buy new 353’s and put the 346 cylinder on them

Where can one still source new 346xp cylinders from?

I brought a car in from Japan. Got charged 10% import tax, a handling fee and a registration fee then once all that was added on to the cost of the car and shipping I got charged 20% VAT on the total. So I paid tax on the tax.

Cue The Beatles, “Taxman”….

I see it's not quite as bleak as the 357xp yet... but it's headed there.
Between the two suppliers that's just 12 more saws altered or repaired.
