592XP info and a surprise

[Czed]

If it's released in foreign lands first
I'm sure somebody here will ship them in.

At only $1,440 a pop, will put Farmertec out of business.

Should be around 1k in the states?

I’m interested to see if it pulls like a freight train similar to what the 395 does. If it does with side adjust and an inboard clutch it will be a winner.

If they just built a 661 killer, that’s a bummer.

I just quoted this because I like it and thought folks should like it again. If it can't oil a 42" at a minimum it will be tough to call it a replacement even though most users won't ever need that.

I’ve run the 395 over the 385/390, and Stihl’s 66 series for years because it pulls 42 inch bars really well. The rest can’t be said of those ~6 cubic inch saws. I’ve been very glad I packed my 395 with that bar on more than one occasion. The 394/395 is very similar to the 2100 series of saw with a shorter stroke. They could have been a much larger displacement saw with minor changes, which sort of explains why they pull so hard and like to run at lower speeds and why they are so different despite being so close in displacement to some of their contemporaries.

Anyway, I think I’ve sidetracked enough. I’m interested to see what this new machine has to offer.

Do they have an inboard clutch and side chain adjust . My only 2 gripes with 395s

Yes and yes

Hmmmm saw troll wouldn't or wouldn't have liked that.

Haha. No he wouldn't. I just hope the plastics don't cut me like the echos . Hehe

Good stuff Bob, thanks for the update.

 

[Spike60]

I've had a couple XPG's for a while now. They are in logger's hands to get as much run time as possible. They want guys who'll put a couple hundred hours on them, which wouldn't happen with me just playing around. I just keep an eye on them and check them over now and then.

 

[timberjack90]

Any weight estimates or power? I'm guessing 16lbs 7hp awesome oiler and lots of fun stuff on the bottom end

Don't have numbers. Power is supposed to exceed the 395; weight feels about the same to me.

 

[timberjack90]

K thanks sounds good can't wait for a good overview and demonstrating video from you guys, y'all always do a good job.

 

[jacob j.]

This and the 881 are the two modern saws I'm hopeful/excited about. I hope it turns out to be one of the all time greats...

 

[TreeLife]

oh myyyyy

Muh feels things be hurted.

im holding a "rally" upstate soon... me and my PSP buddies needs to be herd( or is that Herd-ed) We will not be leaving until we can time some cookies... or when our wives call- whatever happens first.

funny but whenever I purchase a "motor" or major equipment, I always ask to talk to the service techs...ask them "hey...what do you guys work on this model most for?" and look into their eyes...They quickly respond with the truth- the best answer is... "we only change the fluids mostly...they require little maintenance when serviced properly....

Id be interested in hearing the loggers feedback for sure..

Found these two. View attachment 276567View attachment 276568

I’m wondering if the 32” LWB means that they are going to make a new lightweight bar? They need to.

Found this 2 weeks ago.

 

[TreeLife]

I wants one...even though I'm still a little sour, I'm willing to give the orange boys another try with a new unit.
