2200 surge watts, 1800 continuous. Honda rates like that , i find it a bit misleading to the uninformed buyer.So Yamaha's lying to us?View attachment 868265
They all do it. The GP2200i is only 1700 continuous.2200 surge watts, 1800 continuous. Honda rates like that , i find it a bit misleading to the uninformed buyer.
Good high school friend of mine just installed a 45k generac, was overjoyed until he read how much LP gas it consumed per hour. 7.5gallons. Big house, big workshop, heat pumps way overdone.They all do it. The GP2200i is only 1700 continuous.
Gm sucks, Chrysler is still on life support thanks to cummins engines, and fiat.... Ford for the win I like husqy and stihls about the same, great when they run...In responding to the question from the original post.
Stihl dealers are not allowed to cut deals of saws, if you're lucky they may knock off a few % and say the saw is a demo.
Husqvarna dealers can sell a saw for pretty much what ever they want to. Husqvarna also allows online sales where Stihl doesn't.
In comparing apples to apples, there's a huge price difference between magnesium crankcase and plastic crankcase saws. Displacement isn't the proper way to compare saws.
(I know of no 70+ cc saws with a plastic crankcase) Some saws also have aluminum instead of magnesium cases, which cost less.
I've owned the professional saws that both manufacturers have to offer.
I also repair all of my own equipment, and have never had a dealer preform any service except a scan/update on computer controlled saws, and I run Husqvarnas.
I also drive Chrysler products, because G.M. and Ford are no good!!! (here we go)
Try them all, and use what YOU like best.
That's not even the same modelMust be a difference in Canada?
Good thing that isn't a McCulloch, or it would send @heimannm scrambling to find another one!Don’t forget their tractor line...

If I could handle a big saw, a 572 would be top of my list, as you say the build is tough,just got back from shop, ms462 was nice but not 1100 nice. 372 was well a 372. the 572xp felt very stout n well built, felt better in hand than the 372. really contaplating it, the auto tune has me gun shy though..
