Stihl vs Husqvarna, Chainsaw Drag Race,

[@alanwatts9232]

Thanks for helping people, keep doing it.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

Just notified.. Alan. WOW 🤩. Thank you friend

[@Silverhaze78]

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

[@Magoot2456]

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! :)

[@shoppop10]

I have also been a Stihl guy for 30 years. My pro saws have been good to me. Not that it changes the saws, but something I can stand behind is that Last week Husqvarna donated an entire semi trailer load of saws, gas cans, oil, and safety gear to the hurricane disaster relief in Asheville NC. Any company willing to do that deserves recognition!

[@Rockpilefouryatwenty]

I bought the 592xp the 90 ish cc saw. Auto tuned, every stihl logger who had used my saw now use huskys. I still have stihl saws. I just use whatever I sharpened. Usually use one till need a sharpen use the other then sharpen both.

[@johnmakarsky2787]

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!

[@Brandon.Fischer]

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!

[@kylebakker7017]

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!!!

[@peakster7486]

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.

[@oteboy]

Listening to those two saws idling together is GLORIOUS!

[@charlied3732]

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!

[@MJF40]

That could be ignition cut off by the fuel injection and the smartness of the 500i. I agree though and I’m a husky fan but like both.

[@em4703]

@@MJF40 Yep, 500i is rev limited by cutting spark. Pretty healthy way to do it for the engine, I'm surprised it passed emission tests by going this way, and no strato too.

[@rogerpowers3891]

Nah the huskies don’t have good reaction time when pulling the throttle. Maybe the newer ones now do but my uncle has got some older ones and they’re slow to throttle up when pulling the trigger. Our stihls have a much better reaction, almost instantaneous. Easier to take apart and put together too.

[@alexmills1329]

@@rogerpowers3891old saws are simple to pull apart, and hanging and or lazy revs is generally a problem with a tune or the saw in my book. Feel free to like what you do but just be honest, you liked a newer saw than an older worn out one, no matter what brand that wouldn’t exactly be surprising. Try more things, you may happily surprise yourself.

[@derek1843]

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

[@jeremyblair3954]

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

Thx for that

[@mattlynch2823]

Yeah that was well put amen!!!

[@johnstewart3172]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Dutch_Blade_Shearer]

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?

[@primozsuhadolnik5468]

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.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

Oh it’s stronger the next video will make sense

[@bristleconepinus2378]

no brainer

[@em4703]

Put them in bigger wood and the 500i will win. This is like complaining an 881 is slow in a 25-30 inch wood compared to a 660.

[@bombidude]

Husky bad ass

[@antoniofeio5304]

Esse sthil é um 661 ou é um 500i​@@BuckinBillyRaySmith

[@WoolysWorld]

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

[@oakiewoodsman]

Agreed!

[@karm00n29]

500i better hands down

[@nick_herscom]

Got a 572 last year at my local mom n pop hardware store. Never expected to see it on the shelf, but they have never failed to have exactly what I want. Now I run 2 saws only. My big boy 572, and my light agile echo 300 for the little stuff. It's a perfect combination, and it's like living a dream every day loading up the tractor and trailer with all the goods to head into the woods and clear all the standing dead oaks. I got at least 70 cords of standing 80ft dead, barkless Grey oaks that got hit with beetles a few years ago. Nothing like watching a 572 rip through a 28 inch tree like it's soft butter.

[@vitorsuarez8419]

Echo 300 or Echo CS310? Thanks

[@woodys74nova]

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

[@justinsigmon1878]

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

[@primarchxi6639]

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!👍

[@freidrichnietzsche6643]

Best comment here! I agree 100%!

[@M1Ke_L1Ke]

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!🤙

[@bobbyhempel1513]

Husqvarna has more high end torque and Stihl has more low end torque. And considering both saw brands recommend you run them at full RPMs I would say that Husqvarna has the most torque.

[@toddalbright4534]

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.

[@chayzlett1988]

Man the sound of them running together ❤️

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

I know right

[@adamflom4037]

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.

[@Orefamilylawncare]

My goodness that 572 sounds beautiful

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

I do like it

[@Orefamilylawncare]

@@BuckinBillyRaySmith can you recommend a good saw for milling??? Been looking at ms661 or 592xp. Can't decide.

[@johnlattanzio9859]

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.

[@GintzFamInnovations]

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.

[@richardbrowne1679]

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?

[@johnjelinek-g7b]

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 . :)

[@andrewfitzgerald1174]

One of the best builders in the world? That’s laughable.

[@paulborden2544]

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

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

they are not in the same class . this was more of a chain comparison actually

[@HortonHill]

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?

[@aaronvaneps7110]

No need to tune it! It’s fuel injected so it tunes itself. You could get it ported and it’ll pick up a lot of power. It’s a powerful saw anyway so you’re probably good for 15 years.

[@arborymastersllc.9368]

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

[@stevetheriault4164]

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 😁😁👍👍

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

They are lovely

[@supersportimpalass]

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.

[@lawnmanmartinfan7909]

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

[@TimberTrainer]

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

[@Nudnik1]

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 .

[@matthewbuzzell8395]

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

[@itllkeal]

I was talking to the boys today at work and they was talking about filing their rakers very hungry and I've been running a 55cc husqvarna with a 28in bar so I had to tell them to try it in a hard wood tree that wants to sit down on you and see what they really think. I used to eye file my raker, and I've learned that my eyes said .050 but I've learned that a hardwood setting will cut faster than my old ways. Thanks Buckin because you've taught me a bunch about wood.

[@rwr2643]

When it comes to chain saw videos it hard to beat buckin Billy , the best on you tube !

[@ethanmarch4269]

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

[@jamiedalluge9472]

572 for the win, particularly given the cc difference

[@truckguy6.7]

It's a good comparison but remember cedar is like dropping a hot knife through butter for both of these saws.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

Wait til tomorrow

[@truckguy6.7]

I would like to see a harder wood comparison, I think the larger displacement would shine more.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

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

[@user-hq3gf1le1o]

does your 572 have custom exhaust ?

[@nicksanders9140]

Both are perfect.... sharp chains are key to not straining a saw. You see KZbinrs 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.

Indeed

[@williamlathrop7642]

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.

Last night I ordered hoodies for my girls for Christmas, I think they will enjoy the new design, let you know what they think. There daddy's girls, so they wear what I wear.

[@williamlathrop7642]

Billy ray I was talking with a friend who owns a saw shop. The conversation was how long should I expect a saw to last. Instantly I said 20-25 years. I buy commercial quality products for the professional. He said stihl and Husqvarna surveyed their customers and the average result from them was an expected life of 5 years. I think that is just wrong, I want a saw to run and be able to buy parts if needed, for 20 years. The money there asking for most Saws is significant. What's your opinion on how long a saw should last. My old stihl saws still working are 20 to 40 years old. Granted, with the old saws, I can't get parts for them if they break. The saws become wall art. I don't want this newer plastic junk.

[@terrymcgillicuddy8056]

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 🇨🇦

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 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.
