Nothing more than breaking the left rear spring mount and replacing the bent handlebar when a tree fell on it. Also normal maintenance stuff I’ve done. Sparkplug, fuel filter, clean the airfilter ect.
Sounds like a winner. Any idea how many hours you got on it

I really like this saw, tough call on the hours. I’d guess over 500, a conservative estimate. I’d like to visit bob and have him hook it up to see. I’ll wait till there’s a firmware update to make it worthwhile before I take the ride up since it’s quite a drive.

I am easily over 2k hours on mine, but I replaced the rings last spring.

It's the most reliable saw I ever owned, by far.
Thats impressive to me, as you have an excellent lineup and obviously use your saws a ton.

Tell us your thoughts on the saw, let's call it the 2000 hour review lol

Glad everyone is happy with theirs, mine is being built as we speak. I am sure she is going to be a beast. Seen too many stock videos pulling long bars without any hesitation.

What totally pisses me off is when a certain youtube reality star had one "ported" and something clearly went wrong on the port job and now they are giving the saw a bad name/review.

They were testing a walkerized 572 and he said it lacked bottom end. I think they probably raised the exhaust too much or his wasn’t broken in yet. My personal ported one isn’t as torquey as say my ported 7900 which has 8cc’s on it. But make no mistake it has more torque than a ported 372 or ported 440 and it’ll pull a 32” bar smoothly in hardwood if I want to. I wouldn’t say it “lacks bottom end” in stock or ported form in my experiences. I would say it’s a midrange biased saw, good combination of rpm and torque for the displacement.

I think that they may suffer delusions that one porter is going to be the end all be all for all models of saw.

I agree. You can get 10 saws of the same model stock from the factory... 8 will run about the same, one will be a turd and one will be a freak show that is stronger than the rest lol. Now take 10 saws of the same model all ported by different people and I think the results probably get even more inconsistent. I think passing off your opinion as facts off of one particular saw is unwise either way.

The problem with Buckin is he has very little mechanical aptitude. Just listen to him talk. After all he does think Harvey is competent! He’d never even ran a stock one to give it a base to judge off of. Obviously Walker screwed that one up. So whatever Billy crows about his cult believes. Billy would *s-word if he actually ran a ported saw from Kevin, Randy, Jason Eagon or anyone else on this forum. All his Harvey saws are HyWay topends, how good do they really run and sound like *s-word with those dicked up mufflers on em. Wonder what was actually done to that 572. Walker had mentioned on there before he doesn’t adjust transfer port timing or do machine work. So besides a gasket delete, muffler mod and obviously screwing the ex port timing up it’s half way ported if you ask me

Well, in a few words, for me it's the best saw a logger can buy. For a stock 70cc saw, the torque is fantastic. The saw is incredibly smooth, even in hard wood. The air filtration is great, it's the 2nd time Husqvarna sold a saw in Europe with the HD filter, and this one is really efficient.

The only "problem" (it's not a big deal at all), after day of work, I have much more chips struck in the cylinder fins than with my other saws.
