Sneak peek at Husky's new boxes

[Stump Shot]

Wow, stihl might have a better box. What are we gonna do now? Don't let @MustangMike or @RI Chevy find out about this. They will seize upon it to prove every point they've ever tried to make over the last ten years. LOL

LMAO, save this picture for any time you need it.
Billy Bark is like cryptonite to an over zealous Stihl head. LOL

Rumor has it he didn’t hold the saw for the shoot bc he left his hand protectors (gloves) back at his studio apartment.

Howdy Ya'll!

Got in a couple 572's and wanted to share Husky's new box design. I'm sure many of you are waiting for this saw to arrive in North America, so I wanted to go ahead and reveal the new box designs so everyone can see what Husky is offering the 572 in. Or, maybe some of you guys are getting other saws in these boxes already, so maybe old news, but here goes anyway....

Not a good change IMO. Well, at least not for me, as I can't ship saws to and from the US in these boxes alone. I'm sure saw builders will also not want to trust these boxes for their shipping purposes. They are very thin at about half the cardboard thickness of a Stihl box. They are also oddly shaped. The odd shape looks cool, but doesn't do any favors for shipment, as I don't think they stack well, which would make them prone to falling. Last thing I want is mine, or someone else's saw, falling around in shipment.

The handle on the clutch side is pressing directly against the cardboard when the saw is in the box. IMO leaves that part of the box susceptible to damage. And, we all know what happens once the box is damaged.

What are you guy's thoughts?

Just like Husqvarna to “cut corners” to drive up profit margin’s.

So, Stihl has a calendar for guys who like to cut from the other side of the tree, eh?

Be interesting to see who steps up to defend stihl on that one. LOL

Brokeback Loggers?

Times are tough, what company isn't looking for ways to save money?

Donno why you dragged me into this thread Bob … For a cardboard box … really???

I'll twist an old saying "The box will be long forgotten if the saw arrives undamaged" … How's that???

Husky doesn't sell saws with wraps anymore, dealer option only, that's why they are so cheap for the dealers to get. These new boxes fit a 20" bar perfectly. My dealer has been recieving them, and I have used a few to ship saws in myself.

 

[LOMartin]

I had a 572xpshipped directly from Sweden in the new wonky cardboard box. No extra protection.

It was shippped DHL and arrived in 3days, which was crazy fast.

yoy can tell the box had some hits but the saw is without a scratch. I would call it luck, because there’s no way I would ever ship a saw in this box.

I’m attaching pictures of a damaged corner and damage to the interior of the box. But again, saw was perfectly fine.

 

[MustangMike]

I'm sure they have given consideration to the cost of shipping vs the cost of damaged goods. Sometimes, things look like they won't work even if they do work.

Went into the Husky dealer today and saw quite a few other model saws in the new boxes.

Also, saw the new bar released by Husky. Looks similar to the 'Tech Lite'. The new one is called X-Force.

Anyone have any knowledge on these? I'm guessing they are made to go along with the X-Cut chains.

Just thought you'd get a laugh out of it Mike. Always like to keep things on the light side.

just another cheap ass bar like the STIHL E bar ......... no replaceable nose ..... JMHO

That’s so strange. I wish I could find another Tech Lite for a decent price.

 

[MustangMike]

I like E bars, cheap, light, and hold up just fine. I'll bet you could count the people on this website that change tips on your fingers + toes. Plus, you can buy 2 E bars for the cost of a ES and a new tip.

I have found they hold up well, just use good oil. I don't even have to drill out the holes in them like I do on the ES Light bars.

Good luck. I had 2, one 20" that the tip was junk on after a few tanks and the 28" I still have that's held up great so far.
