That's awesome, how much was it, where did you get it....I am excited, now I can't wait to get up to the cabin this weekend to cut some firewood.
$589 plus $10 to upgrade to the 20". He threw in a chain and gave me a 20% discount on all accessories. And I bought 3 things of gas to extend the warranty out to 4 years. Bought a helmet, chaps, sharpening kit and case.That's awesome, how much was it, where did you get it....
He is wrong on the oiler part. Look at it this way, Adjustable oilers only put out X amount of oil at the max setting. It will oil X amount of bar. Going beyond max bar length it will not oil it. My guess is the guy at the dealer does not run saws much and does not work on them at all.I got some chaps, helmet with visor and ears. I also got a basic sharpening kit to start me out. I also ordered some wedges.
As for the oilers with long bars, I asked the husqvarna guy about that, and he said that wasn't true, it's going to all sufficiently no matter what size it is. I have next to zero experience with chainsaws, so I'm just relaying what he said.
If the bar gets pinched and you have to abandon it, just pull out your scrench and disconnect your powerhead from the stuck bar. No need to leave a 600$ powerhead in the woods.
OK, just made my choice and bought it. Plus chaps, helmet, and chain maintenance tools.
Here is a great little filing helper that fits in your pocket. It is nearly impossible to screw it up with this. http://www.labonville.com/325-Combination-Roller-File-Guide--505698109_p_996.html
Just ups it to me and I'll break it in. Just had 7 cord of hardwood logs delivered. I have a 576xp that I'm supposed to demo but my little ms260c is hard to beat
I know there is no comparison. That 576xp is almost to much saw for fire wood. Ran it for about an hour today and wow. Think I may see if I can get a demo of the same saw as op boughtDon't use ever compare a 576XP to an MS260 in the same sentence. That is like comparing an apple to a grape.
Thats the older no longer made series of sawsThe names that were throwing me off is on forms when people say they have a stihl 036 or 011. Thanks for explaining that to me.

I've seen a lot of people say the Husky 550 xp is a really great saw. And only 10 lbs. the max bar length it will take is 20", is it going to handle that well? I kind of had my mind set on a 60cc, but now would consider a 50cc, if you all think that would work. I think it will be fine. I have tendency to go with the biggest and greatest of everything, and I'm trying not to do that. I do like the weight of the 50cc.
So right now I'm looking at the stihl 261 or husqvarna 550xp in 50cc, and the stihl ms362 or husqvarna 562 xp. Both have dealerships where I live as well as where my cabin is. I'm kind of torn
