I started out really liking Stihl best, but the more I used a Husky, the more I liked them. Now I have more Husky than Stihl. I really appreciate how smooth/low vibe the Huskies run and they're built really sturdy, metal handle bar and all, even on thier "pro" 50cc saws. The often maligned primer bulb is also occassionaly useful on empty, cold, or even some really hot starts. The weights of Huskies also balance well with optimal length bars for given displacements.

You guys make me feel old! My largest saw is the 562 and it is about as big a saw as I want to use. At 83 it is perfect for cutting 4-5 hours a day. Anything heavier would destroy me! Just finished cutting a log load for my neighbor who got sick and needed to fill his wood racks. The 562 did a great job. As usual, a fun video to start the day. Stay safe - Dud

I bought one a few weeks back and I love it. Got a 24 and 28 bar for it and put a full wrap handle on it and it’s an awesome saw. I live in NC and a full wrap is not the norm around here. I just use it around the farm and it’s been solid from day one. I have been a Husqvarna guy for years. Only Stihl that I own is my weed eater. Great machine but I love my orange saws. I bought an old 51 about 10 years ago and it’s still a beast. That sold me and I will probably be and “Orange Man” till I run out of gas😉. Much love to you all. Be careful and be blessed 🤙🤙

562xp is my go to saw. Put wrap bars on it and a 28" Husky light bar and it makes a great limbing saw. I know you guys like your short bars, but believe me for limbing, the long bar is the only way to go. Use it to clear the down trees that fall across the road and on the property. Have used it to fell but normally step up to the 572xp and 32" for felling.

I run/operate a small logging company and I am not a fan of the 562xp They run great and never had a issue of being underpowered even with a 24 inch bar. Their durability doesn't last for professional grade timber felling. I've had a total of 5, none of them lasted longer than 8 months. We did preventative maintenance of cleaning air filters, running non ethanol premium gasoline. My options are the 372 and 572 and better options for durability.

I have two 562xp's and a 572xp. When starting... choke it and one you get the first "pop" and it fires, push the red switch all the way down as if you are shutting it off and let the spring in the switch return itself to the run position. This puts it in high idle mode and helps it start/warm up on cold days. Keep in mind that you can't do this with your chain brake on as it will burn up the clutch from higher revs and try to engage the centripetal clutch that drives the sprocket. Hope that helps some.

At first start, you need to wait for 30 seconds for engine adjustment. Electronic carburetors measures altitude and adjust gas-air mixtures. You dont need to stay in front of the chain. The chain can unseat and may injure. The another point is adjustment of chain. It seems chain is so tight and engine has a bumpy ride. At first run, you should lubricate the chain for blade rubbing until coming chain oil. Husky 560s are excellent chainsaw. Enjoy it.

One of the many things I have learned from the Chickanic channel (she really knows her stuff) is instead of pulling the rope fully to start a small engine 2-3-4 times, pull the rope to just pull off 1-2-3 single compressions at a time and then you will see how much more easily the engine will start. This is particularly helpful to save the senior elbows/shoulders. Nice little saw.

Especially for a homeowner just cutting their own wood but its fine too if you are selling wood. I would rather my back not hurt so bad I can't walk or standup for 2 days then the little extra wood I would get cut with my bigger saws. Actually the other day I used one of my top handle saws lol. Its an Echo 335t think the model is. My back was hurting so bad from a couple days earlier when I took all the trees down and bucked up 2 of the hard maples I figured I would get out a small saw the next time around. 2 of the trees I cutup with it were pretty good sized ash and that top handle has a 14 inch bar and I could stand up after lol. There was a couple really hard beech too. Haven't split beech in a while man is it stringy. Unless its just the 2 trees I can't remember it being this hard on my splitter running it through.

The 2 ash were probably 24 inch or so diameter and real good and dead. Didn't hardly use any fuel or bar oil either. Had no business with that little thing doing what I did lol. I have one new saw I haven't even used yet I need to try. I bought it 3 years ago. I think its a GZ360 think that is the model but its a RedMax. Husqvarna sells the same saw not sure what the model is only difference is one is orange one is red but its a rear handle version of a Husqvarna top handle saw. Figured it would be really nice to have a light saw like that for limbing and when I don't need a 60-80cc saw. It just pissed me off so much when the screw was snapped off for the oiler brand new in the box, I go to the Husqvarna dealer about warranty and he gave me a hard time telling me I should have bought it from him. So I ended up buying a new oiler. That is actually how I ended up with the Echo. I dropped it off at my local small engine shop to have him install the oiler I could have but he only hit me for $15 to do it. When I go to pick the new RedMax back up he asked if I wanted the Echo. Somebody had dropped it off a year or more earlier and never came back. So he charged me $40 for the saw which was what the invoice was. So I got a $350 or so top handle saw for $40 so I guess I made out alright

Yeah that brake/cover system … you have to know that works in reverse too. I didn’t know and was changing my chain out in the woods and couldn’t get the cover back on. By the time I was done I had completely removed the chain brake safety feature from the cover.

they hold heat badly all of them do a lot of guys trim back top cover over exhaust gut muffler add frogskin vents on rear of cover to prevent hot start issues I have done these mods on my newer 550 xp mark ii made a huge difference these saws are pretty nice after some cheap diy improvements

I have the T540iXP battery top handle, 550XP Mark II, 562XP new filter version like yours, 572XP, 592XP, 395XP. The 550 Mark II is probably my most used and the smaller chain is great. Don’t fear the smaller chain it cuts faster. The 562XP was my second to last saw and it is great but when you have a 550XP Mark II and a 572XP you can skip the 562XP. I also agree the 395XP is a pig and wears you out compared to the 592XP. You will love the 5 series saw Ken, they are better.

Hi Joe - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. You know I am a great Super Splitter fan and can only dream about being able to source one this side of the pond. If I lived in the US of A and wanted to start out in the firewood business I would purchase one as my main splitting machine and also a Champion 27 ton to be used vertically to break down bigger rings that could then be readily resplit on the Super Splitter. The investment in splitting capability would be circa $5k, which would be the springboard to provide the cashflow to consider a bigger investment in splitting equipment when the time was right. PS - please give us more travelling footage when delivering as I love seeing what normal life is like over there.

@@thefirewooddoctorThe 572 is an awesome saw also... I usually grab a 50,60 and 70cc saw when heading out. A guy has about all his bases covered that way. Occasionally though...the big artillery needs to get the cobwebs blown out them! The 500I is a perfect example...So many were sold and now guys are seeing that the 400 was overlooked in the 500 Hoopla and is actually the better all around firewood saw. The KZfaqrs that have both all seem to be grabbing the 400 more and more and leaving the heavier 500I in the shop!👍
