My friend wanted to buy a new chainsaw. He's rich I told him to buy the battery operated Stihl. He's scared of the powah.
My son has a battery powered chainsaw. For the right price I'd be willing to part with it.
Rich, you say?

Looking to pickup a new chainsaw. Also want to get an Alaskan sawmill so I can cut some slabs.

I'm looking at either the Husqavarna 572xp or the Stihl 462

They're comparable in size and power. The husky can handle up to a 28" bar (recommended) whereas the stihl can accommodate a 32" bar. I don't see myself needing anything that big anytime soon.

I can get the Husky for $1000 and the Stihl for $1400
Get the Stihl.

Rock solid machine.

Buddy has the 662 and we use it all the damned time to cut slabs. Never had an issue with it in 4 years.

Plus... The ability to use a bigger bar and mill becomes a necessity faster than you imagine. Sometimes it's just because of how a crotch is sitting and you really have to get silly creative and risk ruining the slab over 1 more inch of flexibility for an angle.

(Ps. Your damned Canadian conversion about made me shit my pants at your pricing).

You can put a larger bar on the husky, 28" just the recommended. The more chain you're pulling the harder it is on the saw. There's no way I'll be sawing anything close to 30" I simply don't have the space.
I'd buy the stihl in a heartbeat I'm just having a hard time justifying that extra $400
