hahahhaaha TRD...I mean TSD Pro
No they are Mtron!So easy as say a 038? No autotune/electronics BS? Just a Hi/Lo on the carb.
Thats a valid point...If they are built like the new trucks, I don't want anything to do with them.

Haha, I’ve got 670 also. Also used it commercially alongside two 044’s. It’s been through it and is semi retired but still runs great. It was the last of four saws left standing. The 680 is slightly better. Not a hot rod but I ran a tank through the 680 the other day after running my 372, and I am still pleased with it. I guess I’m just not as sensitive as many about turds.A cs680 Better run a whole lot better then a cs670, fricken turd of turds and heavy as hell, would put a 24" bar on one if it was the last saw on planet earth.
Mtronic is a solenoid and wiring harness. It's hardly complicated.No they are Mtron!
Well when they run good they are super.Mtronic is a solenoid and wiring harness. It's hardly complicated.
At.this point I won't on a non Mtronic or Autotune saw.
the electronics rarely give anymore issues then electronic ignition did over points systems. I find many of the newer series easier or similar to work on.So easy as say a 038? No autotune/electronics BS? Just a Hi/Lo on the carb.
I like toyota in general, other then their rust issues. (Who doesn't have that issue?) But the new trucks haven't been great so far, and from my uncles the quality has gone down with the cars too. Defiantly not the camry of the past.I’m a Toyota loyalist, and loved my 14 Tundra but I switched over when I recently traded in.
Neighbor has a 590 and 670, I'd wouldn't want to enter production with either. Both fine saws, there been reliable for him. Just heavy and slow. Not something I'd want in the woods all day given there are better options. Heck my old 562xp would run with the 670.Haha, I’ve got 670 also. Also used it commercially alongside two 044’s.

As far as Toyota, I still like them. I am actually way more impressed with the new Camry. My sister has an XSE, it’s practically a Lexus. Not crazy about the Tundras though.the electronics rarely give anymore issues then electronic ignition did over points systems. I find many of the newer series easier or similar to work on.

Running a 400C for a day made me try to justify any reason I possibly could to buy one. It's not even in the same ballpark as the 362 or the 590. The 400 IMO is what the 362 should've been from the get go362 is a turd of a saw. If you get the opportunity run a 562xp or a ms400. Both run better then their displacement suggests.
LuDookie,Lots of companies starting off these days are overnight arborists. One of the biggest outfits where I’m at had me doing their tree work 3 years ago, didn’t know which end of a chainsaw to hold onto. Like you said, name on their truck, steady learning. Hurricanes got businesses booming. In my opinion, takes lots of years and mistakes to be a real arborist.
I bought mine out of necessity during covid. Just what happened to be in the shelf when I needed a carb for my 562xp. (Not that you could get parts for anything at that time.) Very impressive saw. Been my go to saw ever since for general saw work.Running a 400C for a day made me try to justify any reason I possibly could to buy one. It's not even in the same ballpark as the 362 or the 590.

If I were a pro running saws day in and day out, I'd for sure have one in my arsenal. Since I mostly just cut a lot of firewood, I can't justify the $1100 price tag for one when I already have a similar size saw in my 590. My 590 has served me fine and it'll probably continue to do so for many years, but when it does kick the bucket I'll be running to find a 400 to replace itI bought mine out of necessity during covid.

Today's bigazz mapleNever cut a tree with a swell butt.
But I have cut a 50+" tree with a 24", or was it a stihl "25" lol.

Approaching the question from this angle, if I could only have one saw, in my entire life, to use for everything, it would be the pre auto carb MS 362. With patience and a sharp chain it can do everything from felling, limbing, and bucking. It’s light enough to use all day but heavy enough to handle big wood. Wild fire and trail maintenance crews carry them. With a 25” bar it’s the closest thing to an all in one saw for me and has never let me down. The 400 wouldn't be a bad choice either.
