Husqvarna 592xp review after cutting 100,000 board foot of timber. Is this the best saw made today?

Nice video man, glad your starting issue was solved, i run the 562, 572 and last fall i got a 592, definitely love my huskys, to me they are well balanced machines, it is lighter than the 395. The 28" bar is what i run. Happy cutting brother keep up the good vids

[@elijahmcgregor9193]

Thanks for the update and review. I'm glad someone who is a professional and qualified is reviewing, rather than a hobby guy who cuts 20 cords of wood a year. Not even a ported 500i would match a 592. I know apples and oranges. And thats coming from a stihl fan. I would like to see some long videos. Like a tank of gas from the fellers perspective.

[@Good.Fellers]

Ok I can do something like that. Thank you for the feed back. I had a young feller working for me a couple years back and he was bragging up the 500i. The next time I saw him he was running a 395.

[@elijahmcgregor9193]

There is no one saw fits all. Husky is the winning in the 50 and 90cc class of saw. Stihl is the best 60, 70 and 80cc saws.

[@bethanyhaskiell9116]

​@@elijahmcgregor9193I wouldn't say Stihl has 80cc because Husqvarna has the 585xp and Husky got the top handle market now to with the new T540 Mk3 it's puts my 200t to shame and it's not even broken in yet

@@Good.Fellers Thanks for the reply!

[@walkerscountrylife]

Nice video, interesting on thw comments aboit weight vs 395. Ive just picked up a 394 for my channel and it doesnt seem heavy for what it is. You have a good mix of content, i always like falling tips, and im always interested in chain sharpening too. My current favourite topic of conversation is why dont husky make an 80cc saw.. would you be interested if they made a kind of big bore 572 with power in between the 592 and 572? So yeah, a 500i rival.. Living the channel dude, and how fast your growing shows others do too! 👍

[@Good.Fellers]

Thank you for the kind words. I’m glad your enjoying the channel. 394 is awesome saw I’ve owned several over the years. I would be interested in a rival to the 500i based solely off of weight. I wouldn’t trade the power of 592/395 for a lighter less powerful saw. I’ve been around the 500i but never owned one. It seams to me to be closer to a 572 then a 592. So honestly unless some awesome saw builder soups up a 80cc to run like a 90cc it’s basically not something I’m interested in.

[@walkerscountrylife]

@@Good.Fellers yeah it seems the 500i needs a pipe to wake it up.. what's your views on the 572? Light but not enough power? Did you ever run 288xp's or 390's?

[@Good.Fellers]

@walkerscountrylife No opinion on 572 I own one it mostly sits. Guy I cut with many years ago had a 390 said it wasn’t as good as 395 and I trusted his opinion. I’ve never run anything smaller. I own a 3120 but it’s two heavy to use. When your cutting veneer you need to be able to chase a tree down so having a small saw is asking for busted logs.

[@walkerscountrylife]

@@Good.Fellers thanks for the replies. Really value your opinion. Sorry, i've not done a whole lot of falling.. what do you mean by chase it? Is it to do with how you back cut into the hinge to steer the tree as it's starting to go?

[@Good.Fellers]

@walkerscountrylife if tree starts falling and isn’t cut all the way up you need to stay in the cut faster then the tree will crack or barber chair.

[@willcarr5763]

Agree, great saw so far. I have to remind myself to keep the dust mites off my 395's now and my 661 looks better with a layer dust anyway

[@daveed2812]

It is a great saw!!! these are the issues i have had, primer bowl was unplugged after a few hours of running the kill switch would not stop saw and i would have to choke it off, switch was recalled and the dogs that engage to start the saw are made of plastic so the dealer recommends always using the decompressor as well as pulling the cord a few inches before shutting off so the cord does not pull against the case when the saw shuts down. Otherwise its been without issue

[@Good.Fellers]

I god these saws and will updates on problems that arise.

[@robintaylor-mockingeemill8223]

I have a fairly new 372 and 395 so it will be a bit before I would require a replacement . Out here In the east I usually use a 550xp and 261stihl for most of my cutting, the saws are just a lot lighter .

[@Good.Fellers]

Right on!

[@RICHIE_RICH89]

Really good tuned engines iv never had to use a primer..fatten your low speed up a little bit it will start even better. It did bog a few times when you hit the throttle . It may even need the high fattened up a bit but im guessing just the low screw if you do the high just a smidge. I tune all by sound so it is hard for me to explain so im just giving increments to adjust.

[@andrewgraeme8429]

I got the 592 in Spring after my Stihl 500i crapped out (the electronics running the fuel injection failed and Stihl replaced it for free despite the warranty having been over and the cylinder as that too was damaged as a result). So I use the 500i for light work as it weighs only 16lbs - but the Husky 592 runs like a dream. At 22lbs it is heavier than the 500i but it has all the power and torque you could ask for. Absolutely no issues with it whatever. We use our own timber (small farm in Scotland) for feeding our sawmill and for firewood, so having a running saw is vital. No saw = no heat!

Fatten the low speed up . Turn the low screw counter clockwise a 1/8 th of a turn. Basically half of a quarter turn. Just a smidge . If you can afford it get a rip saw 592xp 😊 cool video i love splitting wood to because i love burning in winter. Man the feal of a hot radiant heat is awesome on coold days.

[@Good.Fellers]

592 runs awesome, first ones to come out had a issue with a fuel line. That was the problem, as far as ripsaw I have nothing against them but a ported 592 is a waste of money if your cutting hardwood. It’s already bouncing off the limiter with a seven pin sprocket.

[@thermaltoyzngear3310]

​@Good.Fellers I agree with you there. I don't see the point of porting the 592 as your gains in cutting speed won't be much. It makes me since to port a smaller saw like the 550 XP MK II to really see a gain in performance.

My 881 is closing in to 1000 work hours and there's no wear on the piston skirts yet, and the cylinder looks as new with no scoring.
