Your link goes to the cutoff saw. But I'm guessing you're referencing the 500i?

There is also a MS 462 out in Germany.
It has impressive numbers as well.
I think the Husky guys are in for a rough ride.It's like a one two punch taking husky out of the top spot in that size of saw.

Just looking at the power/weight specs your right. But there's more to it than what's on paper. It looks like Husky really beefed up the bottom end on the 572. So maybe they have something bigger planned on that platform as well. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

And don't forget Makita is rumored to have something in the works as well

Been awhile since the dolita 9xxxx series got the axe- state side any way.

No.

Local dealers may know what the regional distributer knows.
