For falling timber? That’s a new one.
I think they just laid off a very large portion of their workforce…the ones that make gasser saws, lawnmowers, etc.

ho ya that not a deal, that's pretty much what they go for new ... you can get good deals sometime but it is hard to take their word on the amount of usage it has, I bought mine used a 359 husky which are highly praise, I went and check it out, a older guy in a small town and I knew someone who knew him so its not like he could lie too much about it, I can't remember exactly how much I paid for it but I believe it was $600 if I remember correctly, I thought at the time it was expensive but he wouldn't budge on the price and said he only used it for a few years and only cut a few cord a year with it. I know they all say that but I took his word for it and gave him his price... that's been almost 10 years now and never had a problem with it.
You don’t need that big of a saw to pull a 28 heck a 60cc will do it. If I was in those shoes I’d be looking for the lightest option you can with good anti vibe that way it’s more likely to get used.
Im looking at the Stihl 400 Has real nice power to weight ratio and the price is real good. Will run a 25”, which is fine.
Something like a 372w or even an original 372 will run that 24” bar you already have same with a 562 all with better anti vibe vs the 460’s that are rubber mounted. If you’re dead set on Stihl I’d look at a 462 they’re a nice short bar saw, mine I’ve ran 32 but it’s not the happiest especially if the grind is aggressive. I put the Stihl 462 and the Husky 562 in about the same class I do prefer the way the Husky feels myself plus I’ve put a lot more hours on one vs the 462. I haven’t ran the newer Huskies like the 572 or the 592 so I can’t comment on how they handle longer bars but the original 372’s when they were hopped up they’d pull a 36 nicely, where the 385/390’s we’d go up to a 42 some guys would put 50’s and the 395’s would pull 60’s.
