You could pick up a nice used Stihl 362c or Husky 562/572xp for that price. If you’re wanting to buy new I’d go 261c or 550xp depending on what flavor you like best.
Ag Pro in Cartersville has a couple of them in stock. The one on the shelf was set up with a 25” light bar exactly like I wanted so I pulled the trigger.
I looked at Mastermind and Egan both but just haven’t decided to move forward yet. There’s a guy in north GA that does it too that I’ve talked to also. The 500 is so nasty I’m just not sure it needs more oomph.
