572 updates

It’s probably the reason they are holding back in releasing it to the USA market. Husqvarna is working out the bugs in the saw with the European market

I have a friend that’s been running a 572 test saw logging in the Columbia Valley in BC for close to 3 years now. How much time do they need to work the bugs out? Wasn’t that all the hype that it was the most tested chainsaw ever, tested on 6 different continents?

I wonder how many reall life loggers are testing this saw in different locations in the world right as we speak. I’m probably going to buy one tomorrow since I’m driving through the area and visiting my friends at the Stihl dealer, he also sells the husqvarna brand

The 572 should have been released years ago really.

Wrong.

Only change that has been made since the European launch was a new oil hose for a tighter seal, and that was done in early 2018. You guys do crack me up with these contradictory fantasies. You all want it to come out right, but then everyone complains about it taking too long. Same for Stihl and their new models. Both companies are making sure these saws are right when they are released. Let's give them credit for doing it the right way this time. They both rushed earlier models and we know how that went.

It's totally about filling the pipeline with sufficient product for the launch. I've got 80 saws coming and probably half are already sold. Got guys taking 4 and 6 saws. And I think there's still gonna be a run out of inventory.

Are you offering back braces with the sale since they are so dam heavy

No, but there are complimentary tissues for all the whiners and cry babies, and tampons for everyone who got their panties twisted up waiting. Otherwise it's just what's in the box, and awesome dealer support if you're local. [emoji16]

We're just giving out phone numbers for guys that sell wood for people that can't handle a real saw.

At least you have good dealer support. All the husqvarna dealers around where I live have closed down. I was at another today looking for an original bar and chain they no longer dealing with husky. Because Lows and Canadian tire sells husqvarna home owner models but don’t service what they sell. You can’t even return item to the store. So the real dealers get screwed. Both dealers have told me they don’t want to deal with husqvarna

kind of leaves me sol.

That's about the way it is here! And they always have to order your parts!

 

[thesawincanada]

He said that he can order some parts but no longer sell or service husqvarna. They are a construction equipment rental and only wanted to sell the hand held husqvarna equipment. Husy was unreasonable, wanted them to buy and sell complete line including lawn tractors. So they told husqvarna to fly the kite. That’s the third dealer that has pulled out from husqvarna

Fortunately I have a decent dealer within 30 minutes.

Leaving me sol, fubard f—-ed. I’m just ranting now.

You should drive down to Perry KS.

Fortunately I have a decent dealer within 30 minutes.

I know that place.

 

[thesawincanada]

What route do you recommend

 

[Cat 525]

Bishop's does have a going on down there in Perry!

Our friend in Greece @AlfA01 sent me over a wrap for the 572

Now this thing is perfect

 

[Derf]

Looks like it's already as big as the 390xp.
Got any other saws to put it next to for comparison?

Your 572 looks great, Larry. Happy everything arrived safely. That's an awesome kit Husqvarna has for the 572 wrap handle. Even comes standard with the roller chain catch.
