Huskyboy meets the 572xp

[Nutball]

Naw it’s 058 for sure, they don’t carry anything else locally at the husky dealership. Stihl carries. 063 but not sure what else. Not much selection up here, we get 058 round ground chisel in full comp or skip n that’s it unless you special order something. The drive links measure 058 on new chain but the wonky ones are down 5+ thou from new

Keep in mind the bar gauge starts out bigger than the chain, and gets bigger when the paint wears out depending on how your bar was made. Laminated bars tend to start out a good bit wider than the rated gauge. Sugi, Total, & Canon tend to start out tighter, and have less pain if any in the groove.

Dirty wood? Not enough oil output? Unintentional twisting on the bar in the cut?

 

[huskyboy]

Not enough oil output?

That’s not a problem with the 572 unless he has it turned down too much. It oils as much as a 390xp.

Yeah its oiling 1:1 with fuel, oils like mad.

The 24” bars pretty well stay on firewood and the landing so yeah lots of dirty wood etc

What’s needed to make a 572 ready for east coast logging. Outfitted my boss’s 572 and it also has a mm done to it already. Just have to drill the holes for the spike. These things are about all they need to work good here. Great saws. No more stupid metal catcher .

Give him a call, I’ve gotten two from him. I try not to bother him too much though since he is so busy in the store to deal with online sales and shipping. I’m sure he’d help you out though since you bought the saw from him.

Well, they are not quite invincible after all. This one picked a fight with a tree and lost. Basic body work, but the price on the G handle is $126. Brake handle and side cover are the only other items that need replacing after a quick look. Otherwise it seems to have survived pretty well. But his comments on the saw are consistent with what we have been seeing. "Impressive saw, never ceases to amaze me."

Impressive that it didn’t get major case damage. The cases do appear pretty strong, especially on the front. Thanks for the feedback Bob, keeps this great thread rolling.

 

[Spike60]

Just to set the record straight, I goofed up on the price for the 572 heated handle. The $126 was for a 562G handle. 572G handle is $153. And backordered until freaking Thanksgiving, so I have to yank one from another saw to get this guy going.

Ugh

No big deal and we've always done this for our good customers. And it's not like we only have one saw in stock to pull it from. I did pull a part from our only 535LS trimmer yesterday for a guy. He needed it, and it won't be the end of the world if I lose a trimmer sale until the part comes in.

Your a good guy Bob. Wish more dealers operated like you do.

Wish he were closer...[emoji57]

All us northeasters would hang out there. Lol

Just out of curiosity, would the XPG wrap handle kit be less expensive, since Husqvarna is selling them for a reduced price for those who want a wrap saw?

I understand the customer might not WANT a wrap, but just thinking out loud.

Spike, I have my factory heated half wrap if you need it to make the saw you robbed available. It’s never been on my saw since it left the dealership.

Told you boys it wouldn’t be long before it wound up behind the Skidder seat. Ha ha.

Thanks a bunch for the offer, but we're cool here. Have a dozen 572G's in stock, so no problem if one sits without a handle for a while.

Bring coffee and snacks.

The inexpensive, ($30), wrap kit is not available in a G. G kit is around $160.

Only takes 5 minutes to yank the handle off the donor saw. I don't know why most dealers won't do stuff like this. Honestly, I feel like I should have had it in stock in the first place.
