The 572XP Update Thread

[SOS Ridgerider]

Bunch a immature individuals here. I guess maybe im one to ughhh dang it

We're all a little immature at times. I know I am.

Take some of it with a pinch of salt. Have thicker skin for other parts of it. Enjoy the ribbing of each other a bit.
Very little of what's being said on here is maliciously intended towards anyone, and the stuff that is will be weeded out accordingly.

If you feel like you fit into those categories, this site is a great place to hang out. If not, there may be other online forums that are a better fit.

Well said… Nice to see someone moderating around here

It's been almost four years since anybody has posted about the 572XP, any updates? Has Husqvarna taken care of the hot start issues? Does the tank vent mod need to be done on a new saw, or has that been addressed at the factory? Any other issues that have been resolved, or come up?

I have a stock 572, its a 2021 model I bought in early 2022, it runs fantastic, has never skipped a beat or not started properly, I've cut a solid 30 cords with it so far.

Seems to still depend on the saw some guys still having hot start issues

I never leave my saws sitting in full sun, and burn only fresh mix, I do gotta say though that I did get a punctured fuel tank from saw bouncing in my truck toolbox, I think it bounced and landed on a 22lr shell, I know at the end of the day its my fault, but I feel the plastic is pretty thin.

Didn’t say everyone is having issues but iffykidmn is furious with his 572 and has tried all kinds of things to get a 6-9 month old 572 to run like it’s supposed to. It’s so bad he quit taking it to the woods.

damn that sucks, I'd be pissed, with the electronics It doesnt suprise me to have intermittant gremlins.

 

[redneckhillbilly]

Big surprise you posting negativity on a Husky thread with no first hand experience with one other than what you’ve been told by your wife’s employer or third party hear say! I have 3 and my brother has a 572 and 565 and no issues either. How many 572’s does Iffy has? He had a new one at the MN gtg 2 years ago?

You seem to have taken the place of Randy’s 2 ol buddies that use to troll all the Husky threads and add all their first hand hear say knowledge about how junk Huskies are.

100% never said junk just that they don’t all seem to perform to expectations that’s all. Stihls don’t either but do seem to have less hot start issues and quality control issues than husky at current time. Name one time I’ve said all huskies are junk? 3 series and 2 series are great saws 5 series getting better but still having more weird issues than stihls at the moment. And my speaking of 5 series issues is from the shelves of saws that were getting worked on at the dealership that my wife worked at and the mechanics i knew were repairing. 562 with bad crank bearings at 7 hours, piston put in backwards lost a ring. No brands perfect but if the 5 series was close to right they wouldn’t be on mark 2 on most and mark3 on climbing saws. Speaking of fan boy have you ever owned anything but husky and jonsred? The only thing I said was not all 572’s are worked out do to a previous statement of them being fine after such a time. Even said the guy who was having issues and straight out of him and thread is on here by the way same guy loves his 592. And with all the stores they have l and m was a pretty good cross section of sold and no 3 series hardly but lots of 5 especially mark 1. You don’t completely redo a saw after a few years just because. See you in December

Why are there early and late versions of the ms261 and ms462. Both with different cylinders. Wouldn't those be mark do overs also? Isn't there 2 versions of the ms362, i'm not up on them? Full disclosure I am not a stihl head but I have a couple.

He call's out your hearsay and you respond with confirming that's the case. Hilarious. Stihl and husqvarna are the democracy of chainsaws, they both suck except compared to everything else you could use.
