Who's running 592s and 585s?

[DC1072]

The 572 is a very well sorted out machine.

I love my 572 too .what a Powerhouse and a cutter and square ground chain .

You should have no trouble selling that saw, no autotune.

No reason to sell a good 390! Simple and reliable workhorse of a saw.

Can’t complain about a 390

What a beauty

I’m kind of summing it this way or leaning this way for many years stihl had to 66. Doesn’t matter what model oh 66.one etc. Husqvarna had either the 390 which they may have thought was a little under power since it only came in at 88cc. And the 395 comes in at 94 cc.but extremely heavy not really super heavy but heavy then to 66 . Now we have the 592 and the 585. different saw different power very similar to 66. That should change the market. that’s my opinion of it doesn’t mean I’m right doesn’t mean I’m wrong but it’s something to chew on.

I have a 660 magnum and it does not compare with the 592 in any way, ease of use, power, fuel economy, weight, ergonomics. Both I’ve run up to 36” bars. My opinion, but as I always say if your genuinely happy with what you use and never cursing it’s ways then it’s safer. Stay sharp

If I recall correctly a guy on here was selling one with some problems a few months ago . I think the problem was a defective fuel filter or fuel line .

Not sure if this helps or is relevant but, when my 592 arrived I wanted it in the box, dealer said he had to start it! In hindsight they’d never seen or heard one go that’s why they wanted to start it! And be the first of many dealers to do so. It wouldn’t go? He said he found a fuel line kinked of which I didn’t get to see they wouldn’t let me in the work space But he came back out and it started in a couple of pulls, and he didn’t have the decomp on either, too much excitement to remember I guess?? Anyway, I find sometimes i stuff up on the start procedure simply because I’ve prob 3-4 different saws that start different ways my fault not the 592. Cold first start it had 5>15C was three pulls. From 5 down to -8C is normally four first up max. And after running, Hot, is generally one, have found when it’s been refuelled hot a couple of times it’s had to have switch in first start position. In saying all this regardless it’s stihl no pig to start even if there were multiple pulls, it’s easier on the arm than my smaller saws.

Just wanted them things when everybody compares everything to the 500 l . I just think things get out of control. Don’t get me wrong to 500 I has its place .and it does it say I don’t like this saw. 572 is only a pound different than the 500 I and I think it was much better. everybody acts I take that back not everybody. People act like the 592 is heavy and in my book it’s not most of the guys here agree with that.
Before I take a 500 l I will take my 460 all day long. at least I don’t have to carry double the gas in their woods. some of that weight issue comes from a video not too long ago I saw.

Interesting about the 460 over the 500i and fuel use! I’ve used a 460, my opinion stihls pick and I’m not into stihls after decades of using and stihl owning them, I liked it. My last conversation with a well known instructor here in Oz and old logger, said he just traded his new 500i back in on another 460, which the 500 was bought to replace, his words- it sucked heaps of fuel and had to have the fuel injection system replaced ‘again’ he’s been a stihl man all his life, funny thing is if the 592 were available on the shelf he would have bought it regardless of thinking it was injected! He was that disappointed. (Dealer has only just put one 592 on the shelf a few days ago, I’ve had mine in wood since 1st March, it’s been difficult for there sales I feel after the hype was out so early and supply unavailable)

Right off the Husqvarna USA website:

Weight
Oil Ratio Homework please, so I’m not sounding smart or being picky- Fine print needs to be found and re-noted here from Husqvarna’s manual on Husky saws over 70cc or for commercial use(don’t know why that matters on something that runs at full throttle?)
Also can anyone provide me the technical data breakdown on huskys air cooled two stroke oil?

Keep it & add if need be, don’t flog what you really like, put it on the shelf for those days when memories can be relived

Imo every stihl I ever owned or ran drank alot of fuel. My Husjies were generally better on consumption. I run a 461 at work,any hours and years on the 460 and 046s love em. But my 500 is still on the top shelf, at the same time I would own and run a 460 or 461 any fay of the week. Imo Stihl should keep the 461 around too. Great saws and a huge following. But Imo again, the reason everyone is comparing to the 500i is because it's in a league of its own, they did something that was never done before. And the 572 is up there too. For timber falling applications and tree work, those two saws are the goods. Nobody really I know, certainly myself included, wants to pack a 395, 660, or that size saw around anymore. Not when you have a 500i or a ported 572 that can do most the work. On big wood jobs and big bars, like running my 50 I cane see the use and need for the big guys, well really if you need to run over a 36inch bar. In continually big wood. Everyone I know who is cutting for a living around all over, are buying up 500 I saws, and looks like 572s too

The 066-660 had great power and balance but Imo to much vibration. I sold mine to buy a 395. Not sure I'd own a 660 again, to rough on vibration in comparison. I've never run a 661 though

Interesting, for me I tended to go from top handle saws, then on to, plus fall with 60cc saws, from there straight to 100/120cc never bothered with saws in between, didn’t see the point, if it were far too big for the 61 and 20/24” bar then I’d go get a big saw saw and 36+. Fuel economy is always an issue when you have to bash through thick Lantana in steep country the less trips out the better, we didn’t carry much other than the saw, I’ve a crook left arm these days in slow recovery and I don’t find this 592 to be anywhere close to fighting with me as a 660 or 395(not as bad as the 660 either but heavier)
