Cutting Firewood with the Husqvarna 576XP and 572XP! -

[@philgriswold2133]

I have always practiced the flick of the wrist to set the brake when setting the saw down. As long as I have control of it, no need for the brake. Rather than watch your video this morning, I decided to move some of my dry wood right outside of the basement door so I'll be ready for cold weather. When I went to get the second truckload, my wife said "You don't need to do it all today like that Chris guy on KZbin." I took it as a compliment.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Ha! That is a good one Phil!

[@glenblair3478]

Only a 24 is the one great u tube I watch every day

[@InTheWoodyard]

Great!

[@brucearney9536]

My to favorite firewood channels together . That's nice stuff .

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks Bruce!

[@DanBeamer]

Truly a Great last few shows… not like we all don’t enjoy all of them lol I really enjoyed this like all. Thanks for doing what you do.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@larrylefebvre2237]

A longer bar is what Bucking Billy Smith uses, his moto is "stand up and buck", less bending over on longer bars, 36 inches and more.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Not for me 24" is perfect.

[@coreyriley7160]

G’mornin Chris. Awesome. Looks like you have a new worker ! I could definitely feel the extra 23 cc when I stepped up to my Echo 7310 ! GoodNightIrene

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes a 50% increase is a lot!

[@bwillan]

Always nice to have free labour to help you cut a stack of logs. 😀

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes!

[@haroldanderson2781]

I sure hope your helper was offered all the free water he could drink. Great video.

[@InTheWoodyard]

I bought him lunch!

[@karencary3312]

I'm waiting for some sitting and stacking tomorrow.

[@Smiling_mike]

Awesome- Best saw Ive ever owned is 576XP 🤙🏽

[@InTheWoodyard]

They do cut well!

[@eamonncooney2616]

Your new buddy Mike is a sound man.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, he is a good one!

[@DirtRoadLanding]

That 576xp and 572xp are amazing saws. True workhorses. Can't wait for you to show Kenny's 390xp doing the same bucking. As always, a terrific video. 🪓🪵❤

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for watching!

[@scottetherington1814]

Great Video Guys. I find when i am cutting in the log pile, I always grab the bigger saw. You will love that 592!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Me to, I want it now!

[@Lifeinthe906]

I will definitely be making another visit to try out the new 592 ! Both saws are nice running machines.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for stopping in, tomorrow we do it again!

[@thefirewooddoctor]

Looks like the two of you had a great time in the woodyard. Running a bigger pro saw takes a kittle getting used to. Soon it feels as if it is a natural part of you and smaller saws feel like toys in comparison.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes, that is true!

[@bentwedgestanleybrand5818]

Oh my goodness I can't wait to see the 592 XP running

[@InTheWoodyard]

You are going to have to it won't be here for another few months!

[@danthornton5098]

Well done Chris. 👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for the visit.

[@WSTMike]

Hey Chris and 906! Nice vid and I agree that the 572 is the perfect choice for the woodpile. Look forward to the splitting! WST

[@InTheWoodyard]

We split tomorrow!

[@crazyman3157]

I know the feeling of going to a pro saw. I went from a Polan 16” bar to a Husqvarna 357XP, still my go to saw, with a 18” bar. Huge jump in power but I knew it was coming. Started easy and built my knowledge of the saw. Like anything at first, slow and easy and always have some fear to keep you in check. Now I want a Stihl 462 or a Husqvarna 572XP lol. Have a great day all. Great video Chris, I will be adding some Pink Tape to my woodcutting tools soon. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks Man! GO PINK!

[@bentwedgestanleybrand5818]

I have my echo CS 7310p 24 inch bar I finally got them in. I have the cs 800 p echo I put a 24 inch bar on it too. Great running chainsaws. Low maintenance will run all day long.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Echo makes great stuff!

[@outdoorswithlarryrobin]

Wood have been a better video if Mike was wearing the shirt he won! Lol great job guys🚜👍🏼🪵🇺🇸

[@InTheWoodyard]

That is a good idea for next time!

[@canvasman2307]

Cutting cherry firewood rounds is good stuff. Enjoyed watching Mike try out your saws. Similar to cutting with my kids…they don’t run my 462 or 500i as often as I do so they’re understandably a bit hesitant, but they cut safely and it’s great fun working together. Keep the chips flying.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks Man!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

I knew you would put him to work!!🤣 I bet two people cutting on a log pile like that could blast through it in no time!! Always one more person to move rounds or be fueling up the next saw. Three would be even better. One could start splitting!!😂 Good work fellas! GNI

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes more would be great!

[@stever2633]

Excellent choice! Chris’ videos convinced me to get the 572xp, awesome machine, running the 28” bar (for me 36”-42” dia is a big tree) and it’s got plenty of grunt… stick w the 24” on the pile!

[@thefirewooddoctor]

24in in the pipe is all I use! Got that idea from Chris ehen first learning how to work a log pile. My 550xp with 20in bar just doesn't worl as good in a log pile as my 24in saws.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes!

[@thefirewooddoctor]

Dang typo. Meant "in the pile", not "pipe".

[@dentondunn4346]

Is a 576xp a better saw than a echo CS590? Which would you guys choose. I’m offered the 576xo for my Timberwolf. Should I trade

[@craigmilligan616]

My tractor mounted buzz saw would really love to go through a pile of cherry wood like that. 🪵

[@InTheWoodyard]

I suppose so!

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

Second Both of those saws are fast. Great job

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thank Larry!

[@davidedwards3734]

Another Great video. Think Im about to order a 572xp w/ 24 bar. Been thinking of the CS7310P cant decide but my Husky is 8 years old and has never failed me. Have a Safe Day

[@InTheWoodyard]

They both would be great saws for you.

[@chuck805]

Buckin' Billy Ray Smith uses long bars so he can stand up and buck. Yes it helps reduce the stain on the lower back so I have a ms460 with a 28" bar and a 372xp with a 24 and another one with a 20. My what a difference to my back the longer bars make. I getting more 24's but interested in those light weight bars.

[@InTheWoodyard]

I like the 24" myself

[@bentwedgestanleybrand5818]

Oh my goodness I'm going to have to watch this twice

[@InTheWoodyard]

Go for three!

[@kyles9625]

My work saw is an echo 600p. Starts in 2 pulls and chugs through any wood fast.

[@InTheWoodyard]

That sounds great!

[@bentwedgestanleybrand5818]

10 years ago I was running a steel 032. Cutting firewood. I kept the chainsaw running. 18 inch bar. That's all I had. Up in Sheboygan Michigan.

[@InTheWoodyard]

That is good as long as you keep cutting!

[@johnphillips770]

My original saw for years was a sthil farm boss 290,then I moved up to a 362,I have two of them not the most powerful saws,but they run great, will be adding a bigger one soon, oh 25 inch bars,I've definitely become addicted to the saw lol

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, they are fun to run!

[@bentwedgestanleybrand5818]

Myself I'm looking forward to moving back up to Sheboygan Michigan

[@InTheWoodyard]

Good!

[@aldredske6197]

Hi Chris!! Looked like Mike was a little nervous at first running you saws. They are both a little bigger than his. Looking forward to seeing you guys tomorrow!! TTYL!! Logger Al

[@InTheWoodyard]

Tomorrow we split!

[@terrencewalker2108]

I would visit you but you appear to always put those who visit you to work. LOL!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes I do but I do buy lunch!

[@terrencewalker2108]

@@InTheWoodyard I'll buy my own lunch. LOL!

[@bentwedgestanleybrand5818]

I think the 906 guy my favorite yooper! With the right chainsaws could make short order of your wood pile.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup Mike is a good one!

[@bentwedgestanleybrand5818]

Husqvarna chainsaws are kind of cool. I want to see that 592 XP with a 24 inch bar. I want to see it process a 10 chord load of wood.

[@InTheWoodyard]

I will do that!

[@bentwedgestanleybrand5818]

Good morning from Piqua Ohio! Looks like you have one of those Yoopers would eat today. You know those guys all have sawdust in their shoes and wood ticks in their hair.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Just like me!

[@joshsilvers3937]

I bought a ms 261 50 cc saw it around 10.5 lbs & 18" bar i put a chiseled chain on it and it does what i want. If the trees are huge ill grab husqvarna 365

[@InTheWoodyard]

What ever you have it will work.

[@randybarnes3870]

Like your show

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks Randy!

[@hondacrm306]

👌

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks!

[@TravisDoesFirewood]

Video on chaps (importance, different kinds, your rec, etc)?

[@InTheWoodyard]

Good idea Travis!

[@TravisDoesFirewood]

@@InTheWoodyard just an idea, mix it up a bit. ;) Keep it cutting!!

[@mrfirewood6215]

24" versacut is lighter than the ones you run. 562xp with a 24" versacut bar may be great for you.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Maybe so.

[@bentwedgestanleybrand5818]

You need to listen to some yooper music. Those guys are great.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes, I have heard it!

[@bentwedgestanleybrand5818]

The background music used to be playing today. Is the second week of deer camp. I'm from Michigan!

[@InTheWoodyard]

It is copyrighted music.

[@bentwedgestanleybrand5818]

One of my friends came over one day. I was working the woodpile hard. He brought out his brand new chainsaw. His first cut he hit a nail! He screamed and yelled packed up and left. I'm like didn't you bring an extra chain

[@thefirewooddoctor]

Or bring a file? That ends a day real quick too, forgetting the file.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Ha! That is funny!

[@mikeraftis6332]

I would grab a 562xp for that job.

[@InTheWoodyard]

The 562 is a nice saw!

[@waynejohnson9855]

The 592 is only half a pound lighter than the 395, I have a 390 and a 462 stihl which I use a lot because it’s 13 pounds and in wood the size that’s in that pile my bigger saw isn’t really much faster until you get to 16 inch and up and than the difference becomes really noticeable. I any definitely thinking of checking out the 592 as that jumps a full horsepower over my 390.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes, I want one now!

[@thefirewooddoctor]

When it comes to the 572xp, it cuts basswood too fast for my comfort level as that wood is so easy cutting. Cuts faster than pine! Bucking basswood with my 59cc or 50cc saws is a lot more enjoyable, feels like I have a lot more control of the saw as they are slower cutting.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Then that is what you should use!

[@rodt2781]

Great video as always Chris. And really, you think your 576xp has more power than your 572xp? I never got to try a 576 but do own a 572xpg and yes they are awesome. But watching your past videos when you cutting big rounds it looked as the 572xp had a bit lower end torque and didn't stop as much in the wood as the 576 did.

[@InTheWoodyard]

They are so close I can't tell!

[@dropedlow33]

jonse red chainsaw is owned bye Husqvarna now

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup!

[@tonybunch543]

👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks Tony!

[@LeuCustomKnives]

Been meaning to ask you Chris. Why do you use Oregon bars vs Husqvarna bars? They cheaper? Or more options? Thanks!

[@InTheWoodyard]

That is what they had at the logging show and they are cheaper.

[@LeuCustomKnives]

@@InTheWoodyard ah good reason! Thank you

[@bentwedgestanleybrand5818]

It's the second week of deer camp and all the guys are here we drink play cards and shoot the bull but never shoot no deer.!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup!

[@firecatf7333]

Where do you get the markers that measure length on side of your saws?

[@InTheWoodyard]

I have a few videos on my channel showing you how to MAKE them. Zip ties!!!

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

So,is this why your brothers dont come to your wood yard?? You will make them work??🤣🤣 Guess if I mak the quest to your wood yard I better be ready to work..😜

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, that s about it!

[@brianellis4964]

Once agin. Thode logs ideal for processor.

[@InTheWoodyard]

All wood is ideal for processors!

[@jayusher576]

Those big bore saws on those small poles...🤔

[@InTheWoodyard]

Speed saves time.

[@bentwedgestanleybrand5818]

I learned so much for my younger days. Now I'm retired. I have much better chainsaws.

[@InTheWoodyard]

That is good!

[@bentwedgestanleybrand5818]

Treat every Hunter as if he was loaded.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Ha!

[@bentwedgestanleybrand5818]

You know you're considered a flatlander if you don't live in the upper peninsula. Of Michigan

[@InTheWoodyard]

Good to know!

[@bentwedgestanleybrand5818]

Everybody asked me why do you need such a big chainsaws? I'm like White run a homeowner chainsaw. That will keep breaking down on you.

[@InTheWoodyard]

The difference is like walking or running, it is faster!

[@thefirewooddoctor]

I only started with the Echo CS-590 because I wasn't willing to take the risk of spending big money on a pro-grade 70cc chainsaw in case firewood sales would not come. Now I have a 50cc and 71cc Husqvarna pro saws to go with the Echo. Now have a choice as to which saw to use. Each size has the type and size of wood it is best at cutting.

[@bentwedgestanleybrand5818]

If you don't live in the upper peninsula. Those guys really have a heart. They look at you as if your special ed. Oh he's okay he rides the short bus to school.

[@InTheWoodyard]

They are nice folks!

[@sandsock]

Any 60 cc saws you like? Thats the weight i can handle pretty well. I have a youth i am trying to teach to cut. I tell him that brake better be on, if you take anymore than 2 steps or step over a branch. Im trying to let him find a safe way to experience a kick back. Maybe brush cutting honey suckle is the way

[@InTheWoodyard]

Stihl, Echo and Husqvarna all make great 55-60 cc saws!

It doesn't matter when you're out in the woods. Oh look at my chainsaw it cuts so fast. I just want something that's dependable. One or two seconds doesn't mean nothing when you're out in the woods. If you're fast chainsaw is broke down!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Dependable is very important!
