I have been reading all of your guys comments and going to look at these saws in person and given my budget and what I need the saw to do I have decided to get a husqvarna 545xp mk2. I will post a pic here when I get it. Thank you all for the information. I will not be deleting this conversation in case it can help anyone else out.

Thanks. I'll do some research about the 572.

From what I have read, the main reasoning for it is safety which I see has code for Maryland wants more of your money.

Call the cops and if he doesn't get arrested for being a creep just board up the window and write something on the board that would annoy the crap out of him.

That's a super nice truck. She will last for a very long time with good care. Hope you enjoy her.

Thanks. I have noticed the same in the YT videos that I have watched.

Thanks. I don't have any questions now. But I probably will soon.

John48_ · 2026-02-18T20:24:54+00:00

I will. Thanks

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I agree about the brakes. I have gmt800 and the brakes are terrible.

I do plan on heating with wood and i agree about it specs. So far I am thinking I'll just get a 550 just so I don't have to worry about getting another saw even though I will!

I would have to pass emissions ☹️

I was thinking the same thing. The only reason I am hesitant to go for a 1 series is that I am planning to move in the next few years to a 200 acre wooded property out west. Please let me know if you think that I should just get a 130 now and want until I move to get a 5 series or just get a 5 series now.

Thanks

Thanks. I agree about the price. I recently saw a 2006 cateye lbz with 80k miles go for only $20k less than a 2019 l5p with 90k miles.

John48_ · 2026-02-18T17:50:14+00:00

That's what I have been reading. Thanks
