Treelife meets the 572xp

[TreeLife]

Nice Dominick! Can’t wait to see the cutting videos…

You arent the only one

This saga is right in line with one of my most common sayings!

"Often the difference between success and failure is persistence"!

Update, thanks to some extremely generous gentlemen on the site the 572 is well on its way to being in operating condition. The status of the piston was called into question and the decision was made to obtain and use a new one.

Words can't describe how thankful I am for progress and moving in the right direction. The excellence of those involved deserve recognition.

Right on man!!! Can’t wait to see you using it.
I am enjoying mine, had a bog off idle but fixed it last night by decreasing pop off pressure. Now she’s as snappy as the other saws.

Well...the problem child is on its way home. It runs and doesn't have any problems.

Many thanks to @huskihl for his hard work and being willing to buy a few parts trusting I would pay him back. Forgot to mention @Mastermind for everything he did for me, he's a good dude.

Thanks to all that helped, I'll be putting it thru its paces when it comes in clearing a view for my father.

Ran pretty similar to a brand new xs572 at solsticefest. Here’s to hoping it gives you years of trouble free service from here on out.

I am believing it will. I was extremely fond of it when it was first done, very snotty. I bought it to be one of my primary use saws so I could leave my others for occasional use and for gtg.

Boop...rice and beans not included!

What a roller coaster ride. Couldn't stop reading, needed to get through to the happy ending.
Impressive.
I bet this saw is about to get its legs stretched.

I'm going to use it well, I promise. My beloved father is woefully behind in what he needs for firewood...so I'll be using it for clearing a spot for him and bucking that up.

To say I'm relieved the saga is over would be an understatement. With just over 2 grand into it from purchase to fixing it from it's initial failure and its following issues...reminds me of a certain vehicle I once owned lol

 

[TreeLife]

It fuggin rips...I love it.

I've run 3 tanks thru it since its been home. One cutting firewood and two felling and bucking dead ash and cherry for my father. 24" bar, with a chain nearing the end of its life...the chain is pretty stout and it drives it with ease. Next up is a 32 or 36 to see what it's really made of, just gotta go buy one...

If it runs like mine a 32” won’t be any problem. That’s what I had on it this weekend, felling, bucking and noodling a couple big dead ash trees. Haven’t tried the 36” yet but don’t see it being an issue. I got some more to fell ill put it on then

Very cool, sir! Nice knowing it won't have an issue. I can be pretty ham fisted with it and it sure doesn't seem to mind. It may have had issues before, but it sure runs a peach now.

Good to hear! Run the *s-word out of it and enjoy it.

Sounds like the perfect saw for you long bar/heavy handed guys.

I think you mean long bar/sharp chain guys

I want one more heavy vibe spring for mine before going long.
Others I looked at were not as spongy.
This may have had wrong springs from factory,, or operator idiot.
It is starting to run pretty good.
