Huskyboy meets the 572xp

[huskyboy]

I just added the outer dog and the 20" light bar, which is how I like it. I likely do more limbing and less bucking than you, so our needs are different.

This saw pulls so well I felt it needed the outer dog, but other than that I wanted to keep it as light as possible … keeping with this saw's attributes.

I noticed that in the tough White Oak cant the stock 572 and 462 were very close. I figure my muffle mod gives me a bit extra … makes for a nice power/weight package, and Mark said my saw felt more "responsive" than stock, so my minor muffler mod did not detract from the crisp throttle response

Don’t forget mark was running square I believe and the 572 stock with round on its first tank of gas... and it still beat the 462.

I don't know which chain was better/worse Mason, you knew we were testing, you should have brought your adapter.

We can re test at CT if you want.

 

[huskyboy]

I’m game for that, yours is not stock though.

 

[MustangMike]

It is almost stock!

To me, outer dogs are only necessary for a felling saw. Not necessary for bucking.

Dual dawgs are a requirement even for bucking a single you will wonder when trying to line up cuts. A single or no dawg saw isn’t much good or anything other then maybe a mill.

Excuses already. LOL

I was considering creating an image deposit for Julian/Redbulls excellent bar thread as well.

And here we are:

Just being realistic .

Just being realistic .

We all know gotta keep the variables to a constant. I am sure they are both very close. Both good saws.

It looks closer to 12 ounces to me. Sounds like a decent ball park for adding two large dawgs, a wrap, and a larger clutch cover.
On some Stihls it adds more than a pound.

Srry friend. I am not really good at visuals. When someone does ask a question for a comparison to a 572 and a 390 and you post a 372 and a 390 then I just see whats in my head. I see two orange saws and a lower weight. Another thing I think in is 'points' not oz..
The 14lb 13.6... well I thought the "lb" looked like a decimal on my phone so 14.1 lb without zooming in. I know nobody wants a backwards apology. That's like asking a question and having someone answer around it?? you don't even have to apologize. J/K haha..yes I got lost. Sort of. So despite my mention of the 372 oe......when I realized it was a 372 (not the expected 572) then I 'just saw the X' and thought X torq.
Once I realized it was in ounces then I was going to write back and say either the scale was wrong or it had a X torq cover on.
Can you all say learning disabilities?

Anyway the first pic on the top looks good now I see It is not 14.1 lb.
Turns out 14, 13.6 lb is 6.8 kg and not the advertised 6.6 along with the X torq claimed weight.
If that pic is of genuine weight then the X torq is a true 6.7 kg in accordance with Mason's pic of some random guy from FB that apparently filled them both up fully and centred the weight as they had bars on.. The less 140 ml capacity of g&o of the 572 makes up the the diff on the less
fuel weight exactly.
BUT...JUst some how...I would like a recount?

Is there an 'official' saw weigh thread on this site. Didn't get anything under Google back to this site.

I have seen a lot of dry weights of the 562 and 462 but everything I have seen to gauge a bare bones 572 weight was a heated version with an estimated couple of oz of oil on board or a 565 without the handbrake.. among other differences like no stuffers? That's all kinda anti climactic.

I am calling Unprofessional workmanship.
Under dispute!
It's like asking a question and getting an answer around your question.

All I got new, dry, 24” Tsumura Bar Archer skip chain.

If one were to use normal bar nuts you could run a 372 outer spike with the 572 side cover? In theory? At least that’s what I can see, so one wouldn’t have to buy a 390xp side cover.... which is kind of expensive. Could care less about loosing the captive nuts to be honest.

You Hooskie guy's are used to that. [emoji2957][emoji16]

We are? All the Stihl saws I’ve ever ran have need a wrap and dawgs just to start the day.[emoji16]

Perfect! Sooo now I know the fuel weight. Lol. Well thank you. Very nice of all you guys. That's real cool. How 'American'. Love 'American' and the people and everytime I loose my cool in the UK then I ALWAYS make a point of saying don't blame Americans, I'm Canadian. That is true...well except I'm born British. It is hard to get a good cup off coffee over here therefore my nuts do unravel ol' boy.

That is what it looks like. I thought a have seen both spikes listed under 362-390 +570/575)576 ? Maybe it was one side?
Yes I read Bob's thread. he said it won't go on a stock cover. Try the 390 outer you have. Maybe you just have to buzz that front rib? I think it can happen easy

Could care less about loosing the captive nuts to be honest.

Chainsaw oxymoron at it's best.
They used to call me one-nut when I ran short bars on piece work.
I just ran the front bar nut.
The stud drops in the oil tank eventually.
You can prolong it by putting the nut on now and then just to suck the stub tight.
It is a window of time and and then you can't do it until the next saw .Besides the speed of dealing with one nut...the other great advantage is you can not loose the one while running the saw.

100% dry? Who's pic is that one? Just about a pound and a half for dig dogs and cover?
Wrap handle, big dogs and wide cover is about .7 LB on a 372oe (from just over 14 to 14.75 and they shaved 30g off for the standard comparison cover. At best we round to .8 lb + 14.2 = 15lb
I can't see 15.83 there?

Totally empty. It is the same saw with the small spike removed and the large dogs and large wide cover. The large dogs are quite heavy.

The 372 spike will not work with the stock 572 cover. You could however use a 372 cover and spike.
