He's babying it just like I did. Doesn't want to scuff it all up. And he really doesn't want any of his guys to lay a finger on it, so he only takes it out of the truck when he's by himself. :)
Are you familiar with the psp guy's
Sounds like he suffers from it.

I thought they usually took all the prototypes back and ripped them apart for inspection???

That's correct Mike. I thought he was asking about the one I bootlegged in from the UK. He's a good friend and I wasn't really doing anything with it, so I sold it to him. Got 60 more on the way, so why not let him have it.

Other night I asked him, are you gonna run that thing, or baby it like I did. "Baby it. It's in the cab, not in the back with all the other saws." He was wondering why he bought it and I was wondering why I sold it. I'm liable to buy it back. Saws drive us to do silly things, don't they?

I'm having so much fun with this. :D

Rumor has it that the saws are already here, but they are sticking to the release date as they fill the pipeline. Thought of a scheme to enter another order as a "warehouse pick up" in the shipping instructions and then drive up there, (only an hour away). "Hey, I'm here for my saw order" Ran it by someone and was told they have strict instructions not to release them, so it wouldn't work. Hey, at least it's creative, huh?

If there dead stone reliable and tough as there beefy bottom end looks I don't care its worth the weight!!!!

Yup. It all depends on where your priorities lie... I see some folks say stuff like, 'If it's only half a pound more, that's no difference in weight at all'. Which is likely true. But in this case, a freakin 288XP is half a pound more... anyone here wanna try and say a 288xp is under built?

I have a 288XP. SO I guess I won't be needing a 572.

Still, that's an early g model. I am curious to see what a standard 572XP weighs when it hits the shores stateside.

i heard they were only a few ounces more than the old 372 x torque. maybe the g model adds a lot to the weight?
You are certain to gain what I would estimate at a good half pound with the stator required to power the heating elements. And wouldn't the flywheel have additional magnets on the inside as well?? Might be a rookie question, I've never really delved into the "G" models so I don't know

G's are noticeably heavier than the regular saws. Noticed it on the prototypes. Obvious on 562's as well.

The weight thing has been kicked around for better than a year. I'm not going to fuss over the specs, I'm just gonna sell a S-load of saws. :)

The weight (heavy) is the first comment I get every time I hand someone the 572xp.

"it's heavier then I imagined"

I don't know what they expected, and it gets that comment with the TechLite 20" bar and also when it was PHO.

I wonder if it's a balance thing with the half wrap handle?

Better start lifting :pesas:

Exactly! Pretty tired of that “weight” song.

I recall many a discussion where (aside from the exhaust note sound), everyone praised the 288XP over the 390XP that replaced it because the bottom end was so much beefier. It was the same bottom end as on the 395xp, and that carried some real value to many people, despite the 390xp feeling smoother, having better AV, etc. Husqvarna has brought back the strong bottom end, isn't that what everyone wants?

Exactly! Half a pound is what the arguments are going to boil down to. Stihl users have defended their saws for years as being better than Husqvarna saws, despite being heavier and slower, so I see no reason why it should be an issue now. Seeing my 60cc 562XP next to my 75cc 372XPW, not only are the saws looking bigger, turns out they weigh more too. If its for durability it should be a moot point.

i heard they were only a few ounces more than the old 372 x torque. maybe the g model adds a lot to the weight? you have nice saws i like them all!

I really wonder about this... I know the spec says the G models weigh more, but there are only a couple parts to heating a saw.
1) the generator, by far the most weight. There is a thin stack of sheet metal rings covered in plastic that sits behind the flywheel, and a ferrous ring glued to the backside of the flywheel to create an induction loop generating electricity. On previous saws it was for sure an optional component. But on newer 5-series saws, I wonder if it isn't already there to produce electricity for the saw to run the autotune. My 562XPG has it, but I haven't checked if my 550xp does or not. I wonder how else the saw can run diagnostics on the RPM and adjust the carb if it isn't getting electricity from somewhere.
2) the heated handles. really almost nil in weight - the heating element is a foil tape under the top handle, and a small PCB board in the rear handle.
3) some additional wires. again, almost nil in weight - the wires are only a couple of inches long.
4) carb heater. almost nil in weight - a small sheet of aluminum with a big hole in it that mounts on the face of the carb
5) a plastic switch. almost nil in weight.

You'd add about the same in weight with a scrench holder, scrench, and tachometer than you would with a heated handle saw.

I thought Husqvarna stopped making the techlite 20" bar?
