The two worst things I have heard about the 500i are the price and the fact that it sucks gas like no ones business. Oversize bucking spikes serve no practical application for 99.9% of chainsaw users, some think they look "cool" but I imagine most of those people also put 36" mud tires on a street truck. That said, your saw-do as you will! Also, the long bars that are advocated by a certain massive cult actually cause more of an issue than a benefit. They increase the speed of part failure exponentially on all saws, cause more strain on the back because you have to move it around more to keep the tip clear as well as creating a massive danger of snagging it in the woods when felling. Even the "West Coast" loggers that advocate massive spikes and 32" plus bars are living in a fantasy world these days for the most part. Those trees are long gone except in rare encounters but people see the channels who deal in putting compensators on their saws and think it is the only way! Oh well, keep cutting!

@@turtlewolfpack6061 I love this saw. You are right the dogs are just for fun. I’m still running a 25” light bar on it but I want to put a 20” light bar on it for most of the firewood I do is smaller in diameter. You are right also it DRINKS the fuel!

@@BacktoBob1 one of my favorite saws (yes, I have a new saw that could be considered better) is an old McCulloch Titan 57 that a buddy gave me three years ago packed full of saw dust and every line rotted off. This spring me and my youngest boy cleaned it up, plumbed it with new line and I was surprised that the carburetor was fine. It cuts awesome and sips fuel with a 20" bar. I have been stockpiling small parts for it to make sure it will run for years to come.

I have the same issue with a TS4 dock, but I already have expensive quality USB-C to DP1.4 cables. I also have 2 identical monitors that show different resolution options and one of them can get refresh rates up to 180Hz and the other up to 60Hz. But if I switch cables the problem remains (doesn't switch monitors). So I'm thinking of a hardware issue on the monitor now.

The Johnson red version of the 560xp is probably one of the rarest. Identical to a 562xp but with small bar mount pattern. The 560xp was not officially sold in north America. But the Johnson red version was. . An older rare one is the gen1 2071/2072 made around 1998 to 2010 Johnson red, i think thats right? The full rap JR handle or regular handle, is very difficult to find. The 2 bolts that attach to the fuel tank are a slightly different spacing then the husqvarna version. . 2010~ was basically the real start to the emissions.

@BacktoBob16 ай бұрын
So, it really depends on your end goal. I LOVE this 28C, and for the logs I'm doing it will be perfect. Smaller rounds I would say 14 inch it's awesome. Yes the 12 way makes more chaff and you have less size control than with a vertical, but it's one push and done. So there are trade offs. Check out the comparison video Firewood on the Hill did, between the 28C and the 17 VS. He had some BIG rounds and timed in on both machines.
