This is the MS400C, and it lists at 1250 but Northern Tool rang it up at 1029! I don’t think they adjusted the sticker from last year. So I am very happy with the cost. Looked at the Husqvarna 572 as well but it was more than this and this one is more powerful and was a little cheaper. The 400C is just a touch less powerful than the 462 but I can’t run a 28in bar without changing the oiler… which I bought lol.

I also have an MS250 and those run like 300ish I think? I cut all kinds of stuff with it, it was just a little under powered.

That's not as bad as I was thinking. It'll serve you very well!

Heck yeah get er done. That's too much cost for trees that don't look right next to house.

I guess paint is going to go over the 20k I thought it was going to cost… but I think it’s getting close to paint…

Can I just stop here?! I should have been a painter was supposed to be around 20k and I’m at 15k to polyester primer… still has block sanding/gapping then paint… I’m not sure what the final cost is going to be now…

At least I got a deal on this rusty tin for 100 bucks lol.
