Unless I was interested in climbing trees, I'd sell that top handle to finance a 50cc saw which is missing in your lineup. I'd keep that little poulan and do a muffler mod on it and it makes a fine small scrounging tool once it has a good chain. 576 I'd just polish it up and hug it, cut a couple pieces and take pics and post them here!
That thing is pretty cool. I'd be heating my house with cookies !

I have a 50cc....its in the shop. The poulan already has a MM. Its a screamer. I wanted the 192 for limbing once the tree is down. When I get to the bigger parts I'll go to the 50 or the Husky. The little poulan I like to use as a felling saw just in case somethin stupid happens Im not ruining a good saw.

Had a nasty nasty storm come through yesterday. Had friends a street over with a nice red oak come down. Unfortunately there was some property damage. I showed up to see if they were OK. Ended up helping cut up a bit of the tree. Still a lot left but they just wanted to clear the yard. He wants to have the rest of the tree taken down. I told him to call me to help after its on the ground. I told him I will bring the splitter. He sent me home with a nice load of oak for the help. He didn't need to. I plan to help him get the rest done and split.
The 365xt ran like a champ today through the red oak. I guess it was acting funny last week because it sat for about a year. Guess I need to run it more often. My friend said wow that saw cuts fast. I told him that was because the chain was sharp. His chain was really dull.

Scrounging isn't always a cakewalk , I had to do a lot of cutting in water and slush .
Luckily my rubber chainsaw boots don't leak and it's a good thing I have more than 1 pair of chainsaw pants lol

My old Homelite 7-29 was 7 HP and 29 pounds, with a 52 inch bar. The 29 pounds was the power head only, Joe.
The boss inspected the stacks and said we needed more wood. Have had my eye on this tree and the power company finally took it down this past week. Had a great day with temps in NJ getting up to about 75. All and all an awesome time but the stove is back on tonight.
