Hey guys,
my dad is looking for a new saw. His first NEW, good, chainsaw. We have a used 262 we picked up about 10 years ago, a 460 rancher we got "used" for 250 bucks (had been run once or twice). The 262 is getting pretty run down...it started rough to begin with and feel that it is time to get a new saw.
We cut hardwood for an outdoor wood furnace, and indoor woodstove and other stuff...totals out to 15-20 cords a year, so we do a decent amount of sawing.
Looking at a 550 XP model with Auto tune.
Does anyone have experience with the new autotune technology? like or dislike? Is a 550xp enough saw - puts out more HP at higher speeds than his 460...didn't know if a 562 xp is a bette saw to go with...
thoughts?
we are pretty set on Huskys...good dealer support, familiar with the saws...
thanks guys.
