I decided the 390 was too much saw for what I'm going to need. He also told me he doesn't want to sell it to me because it's really well used, and doesn't want a friend to get something that may have issues later on. I decided the 562 is likely better anyway for me.

Anyway, here's the scoop on it.

Comes with 20 inch bar, and probably a bunch of chains. He doesn't run 20" anymore. 24 and 28 only.

Year is 2012, approximately 200 hours on it. Ran pump gas and 40:1 Husky oil it's whole life. My buddy actually owns the company (I didn't know this) and he and his brother run the operation. Was strictly a skidder saw, with the 'go to' saw his 372 or 390. It's dinged up, but we knew it would be, being a skidder saw.

He's a former Husqvarna/Dolmar mechanic at the local husky dealership, and said that he just put in a new carb, replaced the gasket (it was leaking) and while he was in there replacing the gasket, put new crank bearings in it.

Price is $325.

I think I'm going to get it, but opinions are always welcome for sure. Any reason why I should pass?
