The 572XP Update Thread

[Mastermind]

It's odd that I started a thread about the Husqvarna 572XP, and there's been so much talk about the Stihl MS462.

Why? I have no idea.....

But, heres my MS462.

Date of manufacture....12/18

Trade in.....used daily in the woods. Handlebar was bent, brake handle cracked. Top cover...ugly.

The brand pissin match amuses the hell outta me.... funny seein guys get worked up over that stuff. Lol

So don't say anything you do not agree with? Master is always right, just sit there and conform. I get it.

You ported a 562 for me, no problem and just sold it. Newer 562 no problems, rebuilt a 550mk1 ran it and sold no problems, had a 572 and sold it, just purchased a new 572 both no problem, have a 550mk2 no problems, ran it a lot this summer and fall. Rebuilt several for Ebels, most abused saws, couple straight gassed. Rebuilt several Stihls for them also. Have ran, owned, rebuilt many. Didn't you mod some saws for Ebels?

Your missing the point.
Randy is just sharing some of the problems he’s encountered. Obviously the ratio is low, most saws will be fine.

More pictures.

Well used saw. I ported it a few days ago. Put new rings in it.....



The clutch cover is not plastic btw.

You can say whatever you like, don’t bother me a bit.

No way is that a high use Stihl. Looks way to nice for a Stihl. Bad factory rings?

You just referred to 6 saws.

I do that many saws a week.

Most are good to go. But the ones that ain't are almost always 5 series Husqvarnas.

Paul Ebel has sent whole pallets of saws to me to have done.....but he gave that up after they moved into the new building.

Paul is good people.

My 395 make a bigger puddle than any Stihl would

No, if it needs rings it must be high use. Most Stihls just look beat after short time around here.

You really are butt hurt.

Now you're gonna insult me, and call me a liar because I'm sharing problems I've seen with a chainsaw?

You need to grow the *f-word up.

Only cuz the tank is bigger

That’s all in the user, any saw will look beat if there’s an idiot using it.

Yes, Paul, Dave, Doug, Tom, Gayle, and their families are great people.

Well, I pull it off the shelf occasionally to see if it has run out, and it always has a full tank.

Sorry, did not mean it that way. But you are not the only one to work on saws, those are my personal saws, at the moment. Talk about butt hurt.

I'm gonna bow out for the evening. Being called a liar pisses me right the *f-word off, and I dont want to say anything you might wish I hadn't.

I think we need a build thread to cheer people up and bring together both Husqy and Stihl fans.

Back when I used the 572 and the 462, I loved both of em. Both of them held up great, but the 572 did a just a hair more solid with the 6203 bearings. I wouldn’t have an issue recommending either of them. But I’ve never ran a 7900 or a 7310 Echo, I wish I could

sometimes it seems when you post one of these hear threads people get butt hurt and it goes to sh!t. Maybe you just need to lock these damn things from the start so you can have a thread for people to be informed of your findings without having to read all the bullsh!t
