6 months with Husqvarna 572XP: Uncovered Truths

[@rebeccapugh1466]

I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle kzbin.infoUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.

[@lesahanners5057]

Thanks once again for another beautiful tour of your homestead and your continued care of it. I am so grateful to be alive today to watch this. I was rushed to the ER on Wednesday for emergency surgery.Seems, according to the surgeon, my gallbladder had died and turned black. He removed it without too many complications and I am home again recovering. You never know what can happen in this life from one day to the next and I for one am just thankful for Gods mercies and to be able to see from the comfort of my own home your lovely farm. What a lovely peaceful overflight of it you did. Thank you Simeon for the walk and talk in the forest and God bless.

[@simeonandalex]

Wow. What a crazy story. I am glad you are doing better. God bless you.

[@slycat1939]

God bless and keep you.

[@thecuttingforce]

Great video. Just a tip let your saw ideal for at least a minute before you Rev it up . On clod starts. If not you'll score the cylinder walls and damage the rings over time. Cutting the life of your saw in half and you will start to have hard starts. Just a tip not trying to be a know it all. Lol. Love that saw. Husqvarna nut I am.

[@nandisaand5287]

I for one, appreciate the integrity shown regarding sponsorships. As long as it's not continual where every other video is an unboxing and the channel becomes an infomercial, and you're transparent when there IS a sponsorship deal, I'm oK with it.

[@timberray9572]

As a woodlot owner myself I very much enjoy hearing different views on how to manage a forest.

[@Siamko]

Simeon, thank you for the continued videos. Stay positive my friend

[@ficskull1816]

As a Swede who’s aiming to start a homestead in Estonia, thank you. I honestly didn’t think Sweden had any homesteaders, but I’m glad we do.

[@Vbnzzdbb]

The FicSkull Varför just i Estland? Är du oroad över Sveriges framtid?

[@ficskull1816]

Delvis, men mest för att jag är kvarts est och har släkt här.

[@faithbooks7906]

I actually know of 3 other homesteading youtube channels as well as one in Latvia! And I'm in Virginia in the USA! Check out Richard Perkins, Talasbuan and Offgrid.se as well as The Baltic Homestead in Latvia (though he doesn't post enough! Great videos when he does though!). Of course The Swedish Homestead is the best!

[@shirleyj5885]

So glad you cover forestry maintenance on you channel. 'Care and dress the earth.' So many people just don't get it. Thank you for the videos. The drone shots are awesome.

[@bill154cub]

I been running Husqvarna chain saws since the late 70’s. Funny how they all sound the same. They rock. I purchased huskys for my sons too.

[@MrThenry1988]

I bought one. 10 tanks or so so far. No troubles so far.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Such beautiful drone footage and music. You do an excellent job on your videos, Simeon. I hope the family is all well.

[@LCHLLO2008]

got a 372 its years old and never missed a beat love it :)

[@gumboot65]

These 2 vids had a good part in me deciding to get a 572. I only have about 7 tanks of fuel ran through it so far. But I Really like it. Mine I got with both half wrap , small dog and captured bar but clutch cover. Because that was the only way they would sell the heated handled version. But I also got the full wrap , falling dog's and larger clutch cover. And I got the winter kit snap in plastics. It's not uncommon for me to need to run a saw at 40 below temps. So the winter plastics will help. In the past I would duct tape over 2/3ds of the starter cover of the saws I ran in the cold. I Very much like this 572. The full wrap heated handle is really wonderful. Thank you for this vid !!

[@arielanke6699]

I still love my 572xp, greetings from France

[@stephanieorgeron4903]

Your property is absolutely stunning and I love learning about how well it provides for your family! Another awesome video!

[@danr2013]

I can relate to 30 m/s wind storm. I lived through a 40 m/s storm (90mph) on a forested 2-acre recreational lot in an RV camper. this happened in Minnesota near the Canadian border. We had over 30, mostly mature, trees felled, some were break offs and others uprooted. I stood in the open doorway and watched it happen all around me. One Red pine which was 120 feet tall and 36 inches in diameter at the stump was 8 feet from the camper when the wind uprooted and it crashed to the ground. Fortunately, it fell away and not towards me. It took several years, working alone mostly on weekends, to clear it all up. I now have enough firewood split to last many, many years.

[@tmcorey1]

Beautiful farm.

[@JG54206]

Your property is gorgeous. I live in New York and I am NOT a winter person but if I were a rich man I would love a place like that.

[@MrThenry1988]

I bought one in the early spring. Cut 10 cord of wood, and enough logs for a log cabin. Not one problem. I have a 359 I've had for 18 or so years. No troubles but sprockets and normal stuff.

[@waiakalulu3501]

You are a scholar and a gentleman. Many thanks for the fine video and best wishes in all your endeavors. You should be proud of what you have done there in the forest.

[@kaycox5555]

I wonder about people - - so what's wrong with a sponsored video? Who doesn't like paydays???? If it works, go for it! Great video and pants...

[@KaseyLynn55]

Right!!!

[@julier1080]

Even if he IS getting something here and there, the integrity of the channel isn’t compromised. He’s an actual homestead, unlike Wrangle and Jesse who simply sell out for free stuff and don’t actually homestead at all.

[@bobpaul851]

Jealous people

[@midgamarine]

You are awesome and inspirational. Stay blessed.

[@jwilliams9468]

We've been watching the Sandhill Cranes fly south over our place in North Central Washington since the end of August. Their calls and crazy "non-formation" formations always make us smile. They migrate to a large lake near Willcox in southeast Arizona. I recognized them immediately when I saw them on your video. Thanks for including them! Such fun!

[@johndurant8687]

I absolutely love that background music. It enhances the video so much. Makes me feel good. Beautiful land and life you have there.

[@EnGammalAmazon]

I would not doubt that you would continue to appreciate the HUsky 572 XP. I have 2 550 XP's and 3 562 XP's and they are wonderful saws. The 572 XP should be no different. The only thing that was a bit odd to get used to is that my saws start differently than my older Huskys. The older saws used carburetors which are very predictable on startup. The new saws use a fuel system that is much more like fuel injection. The new saws allow for altitude, temperature and air pressure among other things. The saws sometimes run a bit rough until the 'brain' sorts it out and then they run great. In building log homes we are now getting about 40% more work done on one tank of fuel. Great saws.

[@ericjohnson1008]

Thanks for sharing, keep doing what you know to be the best for your place and everything will continue to grow.

[@mathews238]

Even as an American, I prefer Husqvarna as well. Cool video!

[@dumper87]

What else is there? American companies don't make pro grade saws anymore.

[@aronph1]

Critter87 exactly what I was going to say. Run all HOOSKVAHNA here in AHIA!!

[@nigelmchugh5541]

Not too many new Homelite's being sold these days! :D (I know Stihl make their home owner range in the US)

[@dumper87]

Homelite is still around, but they're made in China. The days of the Super Wiz and others are long gone.

[@TheWoodsman661]

@@dumper87 i use Stihl, but that's all my family has ever had. I'd use Husqvarna without bitching about it though. I think they're both good brands.

[@kc9aop]

I just love your videos! You seem like family tailing to me and catching me up on what you've been doing.

[@mamabear8590]

Thank You for the beautiful areal shots and all the information. Another good video

[@danabasiliere5417]

For us americans and Brits... 30 M/s is 67 mph. Oh and Simeon, niec pants and keep up the good work. We appreciate you and your family! (from a Vermonter in the US)

[@Abdul-e3m]

Straight from starting to cutting with zero warm up is asking for a seized piston/rings. A little warm up is best, especially on a cool morning.

[@walterh.schreiber5361]

Great video again. Stop smoking and you will not loose your breath that easily.

[@moovingon6868]

No shame in getting a good deal, on needed equipment, LOL, some people are just rude. Being a good steward, of the land, takes knowledge and skill. Proper forest management ensures it for future generations. Looking forward to your cow shelter project, and the deep bedding compost, to enrich the soil.

[@heavysnow8616]

Simeon, what a gorgeous homestead. Your country is very beautiful, I had a chance to visit many years ago and I absolutely loved it. Great work with the saw, stay safe and God Bless you and your family!

[@joannetucker1012]

Loved your video and your super sharp orange pants! Great job!

[@darlenegraham2082]

Saw cuts thru those trees like butter!

[@julier1080]

Not to disparage the saw, but poplar cuts like butter regardless, it’s very soft wood. I’d be interested to see that saw cut oak or maple, because it honestly is not cutting that fast given the species of tree.

[@darrinmcgann]

Such a beautiful saw! I need one! Such beautiful land, it reminds me a lot of Maine, USA where I'm from. First saw I ever ran was Swedish, a Jonsered 66e when I was 10 years old. (I'm 52 now) we still have that saw! Great stuff by the way... Keep on keepin on!

[@JoesWebPresence]

Husqvarna's rep is wise to have you showcase their saw, and the manufacturers of your pants are just lucky that you found them on sale! I have the 2017 Husky 450 which is a very similar saw, and the best saw I have ever owned, having owned other Huskys, Johnsereds, McCullochs and Stihls. No matter what equipment you used, or whether you promoted it at all, people would still take note of what you are using, because you are succeeding, and have had to consider carefully your choice of equipment to ensure that success, so as long as what you say about their equipment is objective and true, I can see no problem with such arrangements. Perhaps those commenters are just bitter or jealous. Thankfully, I notice you promote the nature itself more often, and are not focused on the machinery so much, talking to us about the trees here in this video, and the weather's effects on the homestead's decisions, rather than yammering on about the specs of some soulless machine. Thank you for that Simeon.

[@Driver732]

I have seen various videos of people bucking a tree and you can definitely tell when someone knows what they are doing. I now have some tips to improve my own technique. Definitely would not mind watching the real time limbing portion as well.

[@Boatflipit]

Very soft wood

[@jureulcar2667]

This is a very good saw but i prefer the husqvarna 372. And another thing i like about husqvarna saws is that they are very reliable and if you maintain it properly they can last you for 15+ years.

[@SteifWood]

Some comments. 1) Though classified as a hardwood, aspen (Populus tremula) is a soft wood. However, I've never seen before how that Husqy really cut the log like butter. Envious. 2) The gloves you are using, do they have leather or any sort of grip surface? 3) I really liked ur comment on cutting trees, secondary regrowth and ppls lack of knowledge about CO2 sequestering. Spot on.

[@D45VR]

I've lived in Europe for many years and been all over the world and yet, I've never seen Sweden even though I always wanted to. Anyway, at least I am a committed Husky guy. Your videos are very good too.

[@ITubeTooInc]

You should have titled the video "Do I STIHL Like The Husqvarna". :-)

[@dannyboy9784]

Nice video, thinking of getting the exact same saw...cheers from Canada

[@gerrymarmee3054]

Very interesting information about forest management.

[@mitche499]

What makes cutting a tree down and in pieces so fascinating? I'm not sure, but every time you do it, I really like watching.......always enjoy your videos. That's a pretty spiffy saw, it works quick and clean. Glad the orange pants were on sale, safety first. Thanks for interesting video, Simeon.

[@sherriebulechek8543]

Man I love that saw! I could watch you all day cut up wood! It looks like it was fast work

[@davidj.mackinney6568]

Always look forward to your videos.

[@normfergus8472]

As always another interesting video I bought a husky 30 years ago and still going strong i bought a new one 5 years ago which has proved to be unreliable and am told that they were taken over by Electrolux and quality suffered accordingly would not have another but go for stihl

[@rottpung]

Husqvarna was a part of Electrolux from 1978 until 2006, when Electrolux sold its "Outdoor" division. The new name of the company is Husqvarna AB.

[@julier1080]

There are now 2 levels of quality for both stihl and husky- consumer and professional. Big box stores sell consumer ‘quality’ (or lack of) and dealers sell pro level saws. To me, the older models- 262xp and up- were the best ones ever made.

[@cordelldutoit5236]

Those pants are so bright and shiny, it's a small wonder they didn't come with a built in siren...lol Haha... farmer bling

[@rwat1106]

At my new house, I have a wood burning boiler, so I have to have enough wood to last all winter in the USA Midwest. Although I have two 50cc Stihl saws, for a main 60cc pro saw, I bought a Husqvarna 562XP, and couldn't be happier. Well, maybe with a 572 :)

[@colemanherefords7321]

Love your guys channel thanks so much for sharing. Stihl 462 has more power , lighter than Husqvarna 572 xp and is a inch narrower than it's predasesor 461. And in most places ie... countries, states, republic's, provinces. Stihl has quicker and more available parts if they should break down. With all that said Husqvarna is still light powerful and a blast to run . I prefer Stihl MS 461 that's what I use in all my videos on KZbin. I prefer it over the new 462 or 572xp but like I said there all fun to run and it really comes down to (operater skill) and fit feel preference. There just machines they wear and break down just like us. And that's where handling and preventive maintenance are impairative.

[@pwleppa]

Thanks for the video Simeon.

[@ssh0111]

Nice saw. Nice land!

[@alanmumford8806]

[@jaxturner7288]

[@dennisgarryowen8885]

It is wonderful that your Husqvarna 572xp works. It seems as though the 572xp that is sold in the US will not start after you have operated it until it reaches operating temperature. My new Husqvarna is a wonderful saw for about 15 minutes, but if you turn it off after that fifteen minutes, it will not start. Lots of suggested fixes for the problem, but the saw is useless to me if it will not function when you need it. This is crap. Husqvarna, once the best chainsaw in the world is selling poop now.

[@captainsledge7554]

You should really let your saw warm up btw. It scores the piston faster if you dont. Its called cold siezure. Thanks for the awesome video of a beautiful saw tho. Eventually when they get older ill have one or two

[@garywebb3874]

I recently purchases a small piece of land in the north eastern part of Washington State. It is has medium to heavily timbered land with Ponderosa (Yellow) Pine and Fir Trees mostly. A few Larch here and there. It was commercially thinned 20 years ago and then left to do what it wants. This has caused a lot of stands that are overly dense, 20 year old Pines that are only 4 inches across. I am trying to learn as much as I can about bringing the forest back to a healthy place while reducing fire risk on the property. If you have any videos that cover anything that would help I would appreciate a point in the right direction. Also any tips at all would be great! Thank you.

[@gregstanley8430]

I've unsubbed a few homesteading channels because they've become almost blatant infomercials. EVERY other video was an unboxing, ALL new gear...it gets disgusting. Thanks, Symeon, for highlighting that its not.

Great video! Please do more videos with that saw.

[@elenauchtman8830]

My friend had a chainsaw kick back into his knee from a piece of fence no one could see grown into a tree. Several stitches and much therapy later he was thankfully fine. Be careful and wear your colorful pants.

[@sisken12]

I am in Western Washington, USA. I have cottonwoods, among others. Common for them to blow over. They have absolutely no value. No good for burning, or building. Perhaps as mulch. Nice to see someone working so efficiently.

[@SLFYSH]

Betsy Phariss yeah, unfortunately they’re known as trash trees. They do grow quickly and when naturally occurring are a good indication of proximity of water, since they’re pretty thirsty.

[@EnGammalAmazon]

My brother owns our family sawmill just south of Snohomish. He buys Cottonwood from time to time. He has created a market for it in New York City. It is a hard market to describe, but it is a great use of the wood.

[@BRENDANTHERED]

I've seen beautiful paddles and canoes made of cottonwood, in BC, Canada.

[@ts1905]

It's nice that whoever has to cut cottonwood and doesn't burn wood or just doesn't want to deal with just puts up a free wood sign. I don't turn up free wood.

[@julier1080]

Good for hugelculture (sp?), that’s about it. People like slices to use as cake stands for weddings, not sure what a market in NYC would be, but they are crazy enough to pay for anything there! Lol

Really Good vid ! Nice weather. What Lattitude are you @ there ? Your forest is very similar to ours here in eastern interior Alaska. I'm getting a 572 XPG Western . full wrap HEATED 😀 handle bar and winter/snow kit. What chain were you running in the vid ? Have you tried the Husqvarna X Cut chain ? I got a loop of it but haven't tried it yet. Again, great vid. Very good siviculture you are doing also 👍
