Which 70cc plus saw would you buy?

[Maintenance Chief]

I think it's hard to go wrong with a modern 70cc+ saw ,( I have no experience with the new Echos) . The MS500i definitely has a wow factor with the fuel injection, by far one of the best felling saws I will ever likely use for work, ( she's a thirsty girl though!) . 592xp is one of the smoothest saws I use and far exceeded my expectations.
Really I think it's also great to swing some old pro saws too, for all the magic and hype around carburetored modern saws the 70s saws will drop alot of trees the same. I've used an old Pro Mac or Homelite to cut alot of timber.

I'll send you one for shipping, I think about $175

The piston will be more expensive than my saw and I haven't seen the cylinder yet

I have a ported 365 special coming my way and I am thinking it my be the ticket between my ported 390xp and my ported 359 and ported 346xp.

I meant a whole saw

But it probably needs a pnc too
