Inside the 572xp

[StephK87]

I thought it's time for a suitable thread. I'm still waiting for a 572xp from a friendly dealer. Maybe it will work out over the next week (They are out of stock at the moment). Then of course I will go into way more detail with the saw

But as a preview, here i have here some more detailed pic's from a buddy of mine, who recieved his 572xp yesterday

It looks like they learned something about the 56x design. The Fins look huge, distance between the muffler and the oil tank are bigger.



here's the small awful part... broken out of the box.... it seems they still can't get their plastic's right on the 5xx Series...

I’m quite intrigued by this saw. For a non-Logger this might be a phenomenal saw. I know I thoroughly enjoy my 562 and 550.

Great minds Wayne...

Great minds Wayne...

You got that right!

I'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)

What's does the air filter gasket look like and feel like? Is it a snug fit?

Great Steph,

can’t wait to get more details and infos about the “legendary” battle.

No word about the plastic - it’s unbelievable.

Real world weight dry and maybe full of fluids

Interesting how the clutch is surrounded by a cast housing. And has cutouts for what looks like cooling.

Is that Red Armor in that bottle?

The ribs hold the brake band in place.

Looks good. It's what I have dreamed about for 6 years... a 70cc built like a 550 and 562... got weight the weight of it?

I'm not one to get hung up on advertised dry weight...what does it weigh ready to work??

Thank you for sharing!

That's some good saw porn. Show us under her cover, a peek at the jug. Looks a little smacked around, but some like that too.

 

[CR888]

Interesting to see what measures were taken to protect the carb from heat. Whether different design or heat shields or heat reflecting tape has been used to shield the carb. Heat was a major issue that plagued the 5 series. What's not to like about a new 5! It will get interesting when all the fasteners are removed so we can see inside. Husky is doing interesting stuff with their new bottom ends.

When did Husky start using Torx screws? That feature alone may be what makes me buy this saw.

And if other ones have them, I may drop Stihl altogether.....well no. My Stihl dealer is walking distance from me.
