I hope that they changed to a harder wearing gray paint
if possible Steph, a picture of them big bearings and seal, probleby easiest from the oil pump side, and as you said, laterI'll keep you updated! If someone wants other or specific pic's of the saw let me know, my buddy can take some more, no problem (understandably,not of the saws innards like i will do later)
Seems like they’ve learned from the teething issues of early 550/562.
I’ve dropped mine once or twice felling accidentally, had it roll over never broken it. Mine is a newer 2016 model year production though.except for the plastic... can't understand that. I mean the chain brake handle is a safety guard, for a reason. These things should not break so easybroken twice on my 560xpg. Seems they didn't fix that.
Maybe you should call the dealer and have a replacement handle sent. Seems like a production glitch to me more than durability issue.but broken out of the box on a brand new 572xp?

2/3 series handles are more sturdy, that new plastic is (still) to brittle imho
QTLA.Sheeez....don't tell Sawtroll about this brittle sharp easy to break Echo-style plastic, he'll have a fit.
Well, I'm glad they oriented the clutch properly (Ha Ha Ha).
I hope the new products from both companies exceed our performance and durability expectations.
And I hope they become available here during my lifetime!!!
Don't worry, I am sure that Steph will give us the answer when he gets his.!!I wonder what saw holds more gas and oil 572 or 462?
