Yes sir he do like to talk...nice saw lots of power.
I have never had a saw blow on me...I don't understand his need for 3 saws with the weather like it is in this video, maybe on a hot sunny day not in the snow.
Price is the only set back but they last for years! I have 2 of them 1 is 33 years old 268XP and needs some work now needs a new oil pump and a tune up and one 10 year....both are beasts. The XP series are for the serious wood cutter in you if you want to get it done in a hurry get one you won't be disappointed.That saw will cut 2 to 1 against that other one you were looking at.

Hell yes
Those look great.
I need buds like that.

Hope momma feels better.
I would always feed my new moms baby cereal. Lots of good stuff in it and it's cheap.

I felt bad when I bought that Stihl, my grandpa was a Husqvarna man. Favorite homeowner saw was the 50/55. Can't buy one now though

I looked up that wood boss you got a Great little saw. That should last you a lifetime..

Personally I don't care about the name at this point.
Because if I buy a 1500.00 saw and it brakes I'm using Ebay parts to fix it...

I got a polun that's 40 plus years old and it still runs, it's never been worked on
My echo is 15 yrs old runs Great never been worked on. So the way I look at the
Huskies and shil
Is chev and Ford there Both Great Saws
Just how much do you want to spend

When I was young I wanted the best cause it would last a lifetime
Now I'm almost 60 I just want the best deal....I'm not cutting wood for 10 more yrs.... and if I am I won't be using this stove..

That's the biggest thing..
I can buy a New Stove for the price of a Real Big Boy Saw

Well if it makes you feel any better I did lots of research including a call to my local saw shop....appears that Husky has a problem with heat and vapor lock no wonder he has 3 saws sitting there waiting to be started. With that information I would be looking at the same saw that Brokehoe bought or any Stihl saw.
Sorry I gave you bad information I should have looked it up first...things have changed in the last 10 years.

I think the reason he has 3 sitting there is
They quit making the the saws he had. I'm not sure the numbers but I think it was a 576xp he had 1 8 yrs old and 1 6yrs old.
He dropped a tree on 1 so he was down to 1 saw.
This yr he got the New 572xp ? And he got a Deal on the 2nd....

He cuts over 100 cords a yr by himself and sales it.
As a part time job lol
I would have a Few Saws hanging around also if I was him..
His brother is a Big Shil fan so there's that also...

The switch to injection has caused Husky some problems I would not be getting an xp version If I were to buy a new husky I would get the bigger Rancher.
Just wanted to clean up my lack of knowledge its been several years since I bought one. I am working on 60 as well but I will cut wood till Im dead it is too expensive to buy here in California. Something about 350+ depending on who you know.
