Hello Amigos, just wondering who's running 585s and 592s? And what's the report like?
If you like a 572xp, then you will probably like the 592xp.
Not quite that many but yes I’m liking them minus it doesn’t oil as well as my 395’s.@Matt Schmitt has like 10 of them! Lol
No the 585 is great alsoI still like a good 390xp. Am I crazy to buy a 585 over a 592??? I kinda like the idea of the simplicity of a carb and being able to repair yourself easy. But less than $100 difference between the 2??? Hmm. Crazy I am maybe.
No the 585 is great also
Stock for stock I would say they are very close in power. The 592 has a bit more torque, but the 585 seems to have great top end power and great torque also.Are the 592/585 much different power-wise?

The 592 that @huskihl built is a completely different story tho.
That thing is on a whole different platform
So far here is MY quick take on the 592.
The good.
One of the strongest running stock saw I've had my hands on. Smooth, good weight for it's size, good value and it seems built robust overall, and I simply like how it feels. Instant acceleration, like a ported saw.
The bad.
The intake setup/wiring is 10 lb of s*** stuffed in a 5lb bag, bit of a pain to work on, especially compared to say a 395/390 or even the 661. Oil output sux IMHO. No lighter than a 661, some of the fasteners are aluminum, and one time use. The carb on mine leaks a little fuel on the pump side, the cap doesn't clamp enough. Bangs off the limiter like crazy. Overall quality is so so, and some parts look expensive.
Conclusion. It's a chainsaw, it will do what it needs to and likely do it extremely well. Nothing ground breaking, I probably prefer the 661, but that could change. I'll keep my ported 395 and 390, the 592 will be moving on.
