They sound real cool idling together. Wicked pair of machines.

Ive been a Stihl guy my entire life, love em! My next saw i buy will be the 572. Never ran a husky, and after watching buckin, i do believe its time to try one out! :)

Thank you Buckin! I know I appreciate your demonstrations of the relationship between the raker, the tooth, the power of the saw and the length of the bar. I love my Still 461 with a 32 inch bar. But being 6ft 4in tall, I really like my 36inch bar for buckin firewood. Having the right tooth profile and raker height has allowed that to happen without loss of power. Just cant be to hungry!!!

Hey Buckin, you know what would be interesting.. put the 572 chain on the 500, get a time in that log, knock the rakers down to .025, then time it, .035, .045 so on and so on, and see where the rakers are maximized to that higher tq saw. Heck do the same with the 572 and show how different saws need different combinations. Excellent video my friend!

I really love the fact that in every video, though you could have cut off entirely the warmup procedure for obvious reasons, you choose to keep it, so ppl can finally understand the importance of it, with ALL engines!👍

Both them saws tear it up! Holy cow. Absolutely loved the part where you set them side by side at a idle. What a sweet sound of music! Thank you Buckin for another great video!

They’re both great saws I’m sure. I’ve a ported 572, so I will be bias. But I just can’t help but think the Husky sounds sweeter, smoother, and responds to throttle beautifully, it’s crisp! I still think the 500i has a barp in the high rev range and appears to be less efficient in its combustion just looking at the amount of the exhaust smoke. But hats off to the 572, that thing gives nothing up to the 80cc EFI saw in that wood. Great vid, Buckin’, thanks again!

My god do those sound glorious running together. Sounds like a top fuel drag car waiting to launch!

Great video again Buckin! Thanks for the beautiful content. How would you compare your walkerized 372xp to the 572xp an the 500I in this video?

Man the sound of them running together ❤️

Great video. Im a little amazed given the Stihl has more displacement. Husky is 70.6 см³ and Stihl is 79.2 см³. So its amazing that the Husky is basically tied with the Stihl. Both are super great saws and i would love anyone of them, but if possible i would rather take the Husky. Dealer is closer to my home and the Husky is about 330€ cheaper than Stihl. So its a no brainer for me.

Can't beat this channel. Just a good ol boy as honest as proof let's him be yet still doesn't seem to judge others. He might joke around about things but it's all in fun. I can tell this man is an educated man in real world. I don't know if it's self taught or whatever. Doesn't matter. We need more men like this in America and the whole world and we'd have that country back where you could leave your doors unlocked at night and not worry. This dude's the real deal and i think it's awesome that he cares about humans in general enough to take his personal time to show all smart enough to listen and watch tons of useful real life survival outdoor ways that we all might need one day or can use anytime anyways. We love u. Keep it up

Listening to those two saws idling together is GLORIOUS!

I run both the Stihl 500i and Husqvarna 572 XPG. They’re both great saws. Being from Montana and working in the cold, I really like the heated handles on the Husqvarna 572, 562, and 550. What brand of chainsaw pants are you using?

I truly appreciate your (straight forward approach ) No B. S! , Need more people like you brother .

It sure sounds to me like the XP can hold the rpm better under load. Could be the difference in chain but if the Stihl had better power with more aggressive rakers you would think it would have an advantage.

It would be interesting if you just swapped the chains between the saws and tested again. I think you already know what would happen I just enjoy watching you run saws.

I have an 088 Sthil abkut the same But 572 better. I raced Motocross enduro Husqvarna bikes love that company. Husq Varna means "house by river " in Swede. Both make good Saws We are Using Echoe on clean up and trim really reliable always start easy .

Love ur content learning constant. I’m a mechanic not a fellar or tree pro but I’ve takin to saw building. Kinda a bug that I can’t shake. I really liked this pairing and how u broke it down to engine size vs set up for overall performance. Anyway watched a lot of ur stuff but figured I’d chime in thanx.

Happy Thanksgiving buckin! Hope your spending time with the family and having a great day. My mother passed 4 1/2 weeks ago so this is my and my fathers first without her and it has been very hard... I wish everyone else here a happy Thanksgiving and hope that none of you are having to go through this kind of pain.

572 sounds sweet

572 sounds better, running great , both class saws but I'd rather the husky

Mate yes that is the best deal. In my country (Greece) 500 costs approximately 500 euros over 572 stock. This is why I bought 572 and because I am a husky guy. All day 24/7 mate. 😂

I run a stock Sthil 500i. We log and do tree removals in yards and i must say the 500i is a incredible saw.

Great video, Billy! I enjoy the chain details. A smooth cutting chain is usually better than a bouncy one.

Awesome video of two great saws🙏

Great editing around the 9 min mark for the sound signature. Phenomal work

My goodness that 572 sounds beautiful

Ole Billy Ray is one of the coolest dudes. I have learned so much from this guy it is insane. Thanks brother keep it up.

This was a good video. I remember that day you ran the barking 500I . I really thought you were going to throw it over the hill and leave it. Now fast forward to the future you are having fun with it. I love it. Liked the comparison today. I think you have the setup as close as you can get with your experience. I will be looking forward to the fur cuts. Then if I remember you say Arbutis (SP.) is harder yet. Thanks for the information. Thought and prayers going out to Lance.

I love the sound of both saws sitting next to each other. It reminded me of being at the race track. Prayers to all watching. One love

That 572 a good stock saw. No need to spend money it runs good out the box

Very interesting comparison. Power without Sharpness is wasted energy. I'm a shop woodworker so Chainsaws are an ancillary rather than primary tool. But it behoves every timber tool user to study the cutting edge closely. Far to many end user's avoid and resent sharpening when they should embrace it. It will save them many hours of heartache and frustration. I remember watching one apprentice pack a tizzy over the Sharpening bench. The foreman looked at me and predicted he wouldn't make the cut. He didn't.

Shout out to Lance, hope you have better days ahead and the Buckin army loves Ya Buddy !!! Great video, both saws are awesome but I'll take the 572 all day long !!! Go husky !!! Buckin, excellent comparison and explanation on the 2 saws...

Thanks for helping people, keep doing it.

The thing is, they both cut a consistent 11 seconds (fantastic sawmanship too) . Now Buckin, put it up against the 592 ... I think you've proven that Ripsaw is one of the best builders in the world though . :)

After years of running husky 372s and 385s, I bought a Stihl 500 and love it. Mainly because I was tired of the kill switches constantly going bad and the pull rope system issues on the huskys. I'm liking the Stihl 500. Have cut around 35 loads of timber and over 40 cord of firewood with it so far with no issues.

I've got stihl and husqvarna. Would be cool to see stock comparison on both. Can't go wrong with either. Love videos.

Thank you very much Buckin! Excellent Video! Exactly what you said at the end. I love both saws. I have more Stihl for sure. But I absolutely love Husqvarna. It’s a different division but I’ve owned husqvarna dirt bikes and motorcycles. They are actually the oldest continuously running motorcycle in the world. In my experience with both saws. Like you said at the end. I like Husqvarna for higher rpm, but they usually feel like they have slightly less torque. Stihls have a lower rpm than Husqvarna but feel like they have slightly more torque. But the cutting speed is slightly slower from the obvious lower rpm. Many days running both. Thank you again Buckin!🤙

Oh yes here we go!!! Im dying to do this with stock saws on my channel!!

So looking on ripsaws website they have a square ground chain vs a lengthened chain? Pros and cons?

Those saws rip dude. I love the husky more because that's all we ran growing up but that 500i is no slouch.

A 200 dollar metal detector will save many damaged chains and possibly injuries. Scan the length of the tree, especially where tree service wood is concerned....

Lance, I'm so sorry to hear that you're not feeling well 😔 Sending love and healing light to you right now! ❤️💛✨✨✨🙏🏼 We appreciate you and you are in our thoughts. Hang in there ✊🏻 We love you, friend ❤️

Super video Buckin Billy!

I'd love to send you a big log of Oak. However shipping from Ohio to you is a bit steep nowadays! Love Ya Buckin', keep the chips flying.

Great video that… really does show how important the chain is on the saw…

Those 2 saws running together sound amazing

Great video! I have a stock 500i and still getting use to a saw of that size. At what point would you send it off for tuning if you were in my situation?

Thanks Buckin, I've been trying to figure out which saw is best for me (70 acre woodlot owner doing mostly firewood and the odd saw log). I have an old Stihl 361, but want a bit more power. Thinking I'll go with the 572xpg to save on $$$. Your channel has been a huge inspiration and an even bigger help for me in this new chapter of land ownership/woodlot management. Thank you sir!

Wish you had done a recut comp after touching the rakers on the 572.

Hi, Lance! Praying for better days ahead. Great show as always, thanks.

572 for the win, particularly given the cc difference

Yet another great video!! Great way to show chain comparison feom the grind, to the rakers😊😊😊 job well done sir! And wowzas...those two running side by side sang a beautiful song to me lol!!! Much love from my family to yours😊

Love your noble honorable simplicity

Very interesting. Like is say my favorite saw it the one that runs right full of fuel and has a sharp chain.

My 500I is way too fun, best saw ever

Ive used ported versions of all three of huskys newer big saws, and they absolutely rip. Aside from a carb recall issue on the 585, they have been good saws.

Idk if you have covered this before in another video but you said you don’t run a hungry raker in this video how or when do you decide you need to file the rakers what do you look or feel for when you say ok now I need to file my rakers down some and when you do file them do you file them all the way down on the hard setting in a gauge? I use Gordys gauges from west coast saws they seem to really make the chain grab do you recommend a different gauge that’s maybe better for hard woods I cut a lot of oak maple and locust here in Pa. Iv learned a lot from this channel and always looking for any tips or tricks I can get!!

Both are perfect.... sharp chains are key to not straining a saw. You see KZfaqrs with saws bouncing dull or uneven chains. You teach so much and truly inspire. On a side note how is young Ewan doing. I may have spelled his name wrong if so sorry young man.

Both saws seem to briefly quit running halfway through the cut. The dreamsicle is quieter but doesn't seem quite as strong? I've been running a triangular raker on a couple saws, they cut really well for me. Not sure, they may be Carlson.

The editing Buckin! Awesome!great vid! Sold me on a 572 that’s for sure

They both sound great 👍with Bucking filing those saws anything possible

Very cool vid Buckin

I have a 372 that the saw shop said the guy didn’t want to put the money in to fix it. I bought it not running and fixed it up and modified the muffler but I a going to put a pipe on it. Glad to see my saw is better than the 500i.

Nothing against Husky BUT I’ve always ran STIHL. I run a 661 & 500i both ported WCS BARK BOXES & 70-1 98 Octane jungle juice. They eat like crazy 661 36 bar 500i 32. GOD BLESS BUCKIN & EVERYONE 🙏👍✌️🙂

Is that a 28” bar? Also do you like the full wrap handle and if so why do you like it?

GREAT COMPARISON AND EXPLAINATION BUCKIN ,,WHAT I LIKE IS THAT YOUVE SPENT LOTS OF TIME ON BOTH SAWS ,,SO THERES NO DISCREPANCIES ,,,BOTH EXCELLENT SAWS ,,RIPSAW ROCKS 😁😁👍👍

Hey what suspenders do you recommend?

I have a stock 046 with a barkbox and I have a stock 500i , they run neck&neck , I put my stock 372xp in the mix too , it's right there as well

The pipes side by side sound like glorious applause 👏

Stihl and Husqvarna chainsaws are both top performers in a drag race.

I love watching and learning from you buckin 😂 Your videos are so inspiring God bless ya

what size sweatshirt you rock? i bought a xl, seams like a usa large. so was curious

I have got to admit I am a little jealous that cedar must smell so good thanks Buckin!!!!

Lance. ✊. Thank you, and God Bless you.

Couldn't find the HiViz hoodies on your website.

Thanks Buckin' 👍

Oh yeah Baby! Thank You Buckin'

What modifications did you make to your 572, where can I get that exhaust?

Thanks for the comparison. We all know why Stihls are lighter. Yep it has the power. Fuel injection may be the way. But it is lighter for a reason. All the parts are thinner.

I did not run either the 500i or the Husqvarna 592xp. How ever own stihl saws and recently bought a 3120xp. Do to watching buckin, I've contacted ripsaw about porting my other saws. So thank you for your incite billy ray.

Ahhh, the sound of those two saws, music to my ears! With as many hours as you have on both saws, you would know better than anyone, and it sounds like you're calling it a draw. I'm a Stihl guy, but I'd take either saw after watching your vids.

The muffs side by side side sounds like a drag race at the starting line;)

does your 572 have custom exhaust ?

Come on now Buckin it's all about endurance in the trees. I have all echo saws used to run Stihl. Love the content and need an axe like your content. And yes ear muffs are like running saw in Ist class even though I have never flown in a plane. Running saw with muffs is blessing! Love ya Buckin and I'll never stop thank y for teaching me not b scared when y file.

The husky doesn't throw the chips back at the operator.

I like ur style pants!

What about the Protos Helmet? Do you tested one?

hangi marka 2t yağ önerirsiniz ?

Have an old 359, a T435 and , my newest, 395XP . I like each of them and I would love to have 372 or 500i !

I’d love to have big cedars like that here! Love cedar!! But I’d also like to stick a saw like that into some hardwood and feel it pull!

Both work the same...can't see the difference... How long is the chain on these saws?

Hey Buckin, I got an old 66 Husqvarna in great shape. I would like a bark box or something similar. Where can find one? Thanks, keep up the great vids I'm an East Coaster 🇨🇦

Hi Buckin , I hope you had a Great Thanksgiving. Which powersaw would you recommend to run a 36 inch bar ? Thanks for your help Brother

Love and prayers to Lance!❤🙏

Man, old boy can run a Power-saw like a champ, poetry in motion!!!

Do you feel the weight difference!?

Very cool

I’ve messed around with this a few times and wrecked a few chains by just taking a little too much raker off, thinking it would cut faster and boy is it super chattery and I couldn’t even keep it on the saw. Then I had a chain that I never filed the rakers and it was the smoothest cutting chain and it actually was faster cutting because you could keep the RPM’s up.
