Real World Feedback On The 572XP

[XP_Slinger]

Hard to say between those two, have to run em back to back. I personally like the 50mm oe better than the xpw even though it’s a tad more high strung. Xpw does have good torque with long bar. 572 does have more torque than a 50mm oe or xtorq though (stock vs stock).

Come to dans again in the spring and this can be arranged.

I have a brand new 572 xpg that I am not attached to yet, make me an offer.

i assume he meant USING one, not POLISHING one. sheesh...

Pssst it's still in the box .

How about compared to a ported XPW 75cc Mason?

The xpw spanks the 572

The xpw spanks the 572

Meh.

The xpw spanks the 572

That has been my limited experience as well. But the W was built and the 572 was bone stock

Sorry buddy, bad time of year.

Everyone's different but in hand
How's it against a well ported 371/372
With a 28"

Compared to an equally ported 75cc 372, the 372 was ahead and felt lighter. I haven’t compared stock ones. I ran my 572 stock for a few hours, haha. I wish I had a stock one just to try again.

How is the competition anyway? I've heard good and bad out of the woods so far.

I posted these in my 572xp thread this summer, but I’ll post this here too.

stock 50 mm OE with muffler mod... 48.05 seconds.

stock 572xp with muffler mod same b/c... 45.93 seconds. Both saws broken in.

I have a stock 440 with a muffler mod here that I plan on testing against the 572, as soon as I get it running right. Should be interesting.

As long as you’re cutting the color of the saw don’t matter much, looks like you’re enjoying both.

I like that flag sticker. Where did you find it?

Yeah, they all have their pros and cons.
I found it on Amazon.

Is it ok to hate the sound of the 572? Lol!

Thanks man

An xtorq stacks up about the same against the 572.

Stock xtorq: 34.77 seconds.

Stock 572xp: 29.12 seconds.

Muffler modded 572xp: 27.95 seconds. I could push harder on the 572’s. Yes I should have been wearing chaps and I always do. Just a quick test in the log pile, wasn’t logging that day. Lol

It’s definitely different than the “old school” Stihls, but it’s doing well in my opinion. I’m running a 32 on it right now. It is muffler modded and timing advanced. The chip deflector is terrible in my opinion. The 572 is much better. But a very lightweight saw. I have the 462, 572, and 661 all in the strip right now. I have issues, lol.

This is where I am working them.
