Who's running 592s and 585s?

Looks like the latest 592s have the fuel line/ purge bulb issue fixed

That is a relief, save a lot of head scratching.

Good to see, is the front of the case any beefier where the felling dog was braking them

Didn’t look. I’ll peek tomorrow. I don’t have an older one to look at though. Just 2 new ones

Doesn’t look crazy thick. .255” on the top and front with 2 webs coming down and a small web going back

Mine measures .255 like yours but yours appears to have a little more webbing on it. Mines a January 2022 saw

Wow the new case looks way beefier in that area.

I think some people get over zealous, torquing down those screws and nuts for the dogs, putting undo pressure , causing stress in that area possibly, even thoe it did need some reinforcement.

Good to see that they adressed the problems.

Heard that with some older series Husky's that they did a recall and replaced shortblocks. Wondering if they are going to do that in this case as well.

The problems are mostly out west. Guys with long bars prying out their wedge cuts before they are free

Yup , that will do it .

And likely running larger dawgs. Doubt the average Joe needs to worry about the old style case

Yea, the full wraps kits , have a lot better dogs for sure .

 

[MG2186]

It’s the pry bar effect like Kevin says that's wrecking them, I put the big dogs on mine to keep from denting the muffler all up, which it was before I put them on

 

[DC1072]

I thought so too

I was thinking the same thing as soon as I saw it. A lot more webs .

I agree the bigger dogs are much better. He’s a little space between a muffler. And with the clutch cover, it directs the wood chips more down then back.

Yup, they aren’t stupid big like most of the big dogs either. Another thing they definitely did right in this saw

So I'm the guy who bought Dominick's (@TreeLife) MMWS 592xp. It's a sweet saw for sure. I had a Rattler ported 390xp before buying this and liked it. It had an unlimited coil and would really generate chain speed but I definitely wished it had more torque. I never felt like I had it tuned "just right" to get the most out of it. The 592xp is a different animal. Definitely more bottom end torque and I don't have to worry about tuning it. I know she's giving me all she's got. I'm still learning the saw and what it likes, especially on restarts. One thing with the 592 is that I've had to take the rakers down a lot lower to keep the saw from bouncing off the rev limiter all the time.
