Cub cadet cs5720 V.S. husky 359

[slipknot]

I found a sweet deal on a cub cadet cs5720. I wanna know how it compares to the husky 359? Cub cadet lists it @4.1 hp 57cc while the husky is rated @3.9 hp 59cc. Has anyone ran both saws?? How do they compare stock saw for stock saw. And finally does the cs5720 take to opening up the muffler very well? Anyone who has this saw please share your opinion.

If it's a good price, then grab it. It is a very good saw based on the Efco 956/962 chassis.

Also does the cs5720 have magnesium crankcase or plastic? I don't like plastic, I don't care how light it is!

It has the magnesium case, and it's the only one of the Cub Branded Efcos that does.

Will this unit pull a 24" bar with skip tooth in a pinch like a husky 359?
I am wanting to know how the torque is compared to the 359? I am hoping performance wise it is like husky 359/357 hybrid, does this sound correct?
