Lasts 5 times as long as a stihl and 1000 times as long as a oregon On a serious note there a higher quality product that’s will last much longer then the regular bars. Sugihara is another good bar but I prefer tsumaras , I’ll make a video about it some time.
I am from southern Ohio and I have never seen someone handle a saw as well as you. There are some of these guys on RU-vid that constantly have the camera on their face as if we need to see that. They clickbait their titles and make some goofy face to get us to watch their video. These people are complete narcissists and I can’t stand to watch their content. You have the best channel for content in my opinion. Fine work!
I remember going to an outdoor logging show in Bowling Green KY in 2003. There was a logging supply company there from Syracuse NY that was selling husqvarna saws. We bought a 372 with a 20” bar and chain for $500.00. I bet we’ve bought 15-20 372’s and 372 xp’s since then.
Running 28" tsumara LW on my 7900, yeah, its VERY flexy/ springy. Ive run a few stihl LW bars, laminated aluminun i beleive, better, more rigid bars . Worth the premium in cost. Try one of those out w the husqvarna adaptor
Great tips about doing regular checks and tightening the bolts. I love the 3-series Huskies and the 21-series Jonsereds. I have one 5-series saw for four years now with no issues.
The shop I bought my 592xp's sold me some fancy 2-stroke oil that you mix at 100:1. Those saws would run so hot and not want to start up after shutting off. I remember watching a video where you mentioned running 40:1. Wow, huge difference. They start much better the first time for the day and start right back up if you shut them off. Didn't know about the plastic covers. Will get one ordered to keep around. Thanks for the great videos.
Yeah, it was explained to me by an old time chainsaw mechanic. The kind I don’t see anymore in real life. That the 394xp and 395xp couldn’t meet epa standards so the would run em 50:1 to get better emissions. But it wasn’t better for the saw. So I started running them rich on oil and never looked back. The internet is full of people with opinions on chainsaws but 99% of them aren’t actually using the saw very much and or there just full of bull.
Oh very nice. I have a first gen, and will check my fuel lines ASAP. I have a 390 and a 592. The 592 has miles more power but I do love the smooth power band on the 390. I’d considered getting the 390 ported but the 592 is basically factory ported so now it seems like a waste. I do 15 to 20 cords of firewood a year and do tree removal on the side. I have a ported t540, a 555, a 390xp and the 592xp. All awesome saws. I run 45:1 VP full synthetic racing oil. Seems to do good. By and large they blow the doors off of my friends Stihl saws in the same class, but the huskies are a bit heavier. I also run Stihl chain or C83 Husky chain. The Stihl chain is 10x better though.
It always amazes me that people will watch you spur-cut and perfectly drop a giant veneer grade tree with a butt flatter than Taylor Swift and still chime in about how you should do things differently. Gotta be "aggressively professional" with those types.
Great video again . Keep them coming . Ok about the saw for me . Some days I love it and more days I don’t. My 1st gen 592 had a lot of problems, coil wire , starter plastic dogs broke, gas line , wouldn’t stay running, reflash auto tune software, new carburetor, air leak which caused scoring in cylinder and the muffler dents easy. Now my 2nd gen 592 I’ve only had for 2 weeks will shut off when it idles and I threw a chain the other day and for some reason it broke the clutch cover in half . Cheap metal or whatever it’s made out of ? So ya at this point I don’t see it being better than my trusty 395’s .
@@Good.Fellers I think once we get these problems ironed out it will be a great saw for me but for now it’s the 500 I . Absolutely love this saw for falling & topping.
I am in my 60 did tree work my whole life my dad and uncle cut timber every winter there is a big difference in the two trades I done some timber work with my dad and uncle both are very dangerous jobs was on a timber job with my uncle I was in my 30 he was 72 and he lost his foot one day after thanksgiving I never did timber work again
Losin a foot isn’t a reason to quit logging. I always kinda though if your not a amputee your kinda a 🐱. I’m just kidding around we joke about around saying that if ya haven’t been airlifted or became a amputee then your a….. It’s a rewarding business but it has a few dangers.
40:1 oil ratio here, been using it for 25 years now on all my saws-no problems so far... Taking care of your saws is a good thing, makes them last longer and perform better. Thanx for sharing !
😮😮 tge wire came out of the holder and got in the flywheel and broke put a another peace ✌ 😊 of wire in there then check the spark again 😊😊 OMG 9 21 2O24
😊😊 IVE heard of that be 4 the fuel line from the factory 🏭 😮 was 2 long and it had a link in it / and U have 2 do chain bar maintenance U have the bar cleaned out and filed a burr on the bar wont let the saw cut they do have 2 be filed smooth W a flat file and U have 2 grease the bar W a chainsaw grease gun 😊😊 OMG 9 21 2O24
If you the bar it will ruin the nose bearing. The bar oil lubricates the bar nose. When a bar needs maintenance I toss em and get a new one. I can buy them cheap enough that it makes sense.
I have watched quite a few of your videos. Enjoy your content. Just subscribed. I have a question (actually 2) if you wouldn’t mind answering from me. I am just I guess what they call a weekend warrior. I cut firewood for a hobby. Started with a battery powered ego and quickly got tired at how quickly it died bucking firewood so I upgraded to a 592xp in February of this year. I love it so far but recently started having some issues with starting. It use to start or turn over on 1st or 2nd pull and when I would hit the throttle it would rev up no problem and have no hesitation. After starting I would bump throttle once or twice quickly and let it idle to warm up for at least a minute up to 3 minutes or more while putting on safety gear. However, now it seems to take quite a few pulls with choke on before it will pop and the another couple of pulls with choke off before starting. Once started if I hit the throttle it wants to sputter and even shut off at times. When I engage the throttle there is hesitation before the chain will move if the saw stays on. However, if once I get it started and let it idle it will idle fine and if I let it warm up for a few minutes without touching the throttle it is fine and operates flawlessly once I engage the throttle. I don’t mind letting it warm up just wondering what may have caused the change in how it starts and warms up. I use premium (90+ octane ethanol free) fuel mixed 45:1 with echo red armor 2 cycle oil. I would say I have ran about 10 tanks of fuel through it. Second question I have is what is the benefit of the 8 pin sprocket vs the 7? I apologize for the lengthy comment but I do hope you or anyone else with more knowledge than me can provide your thoughts on what is happening. Thanks in advance. One last thing - I am meticulous in keeping it clean as after each use I take the bar off and clean it, clean around the oiler and sprocket, and clean the air filter. Thanks again Chuck
@@Good.Fellers 14percent = Gain in chain speed and less torque. which means 7pin compared to 8pin sprocket. 8 pin will give you 14percent increased chain speed and 14percent less torque compared to 7pin sprocket.
@@Good.Fellers thank you for the response. I will look for a pinched fuel line and if that is not the issue I will take in to the dealer. Thanks for that information. I may look at getting an 8 pin sprocket to see if I like it better.
I know that Bjarne Butler (a faller on Vancouver Island in BC) LOVES his 592. He used to run a 395 as well. He also runs/ran the little brother to the saw sometimes (572/372) so it’s something that I can understand what you’re saying. 👍🫡
I have the 550Xp mk2….it screams and does about 75% of what I need done on property. Will probably wait till next spring and go for the 592 to cover the remaining 25% of work I need done. With those 2 pro saws, I think you’re covered. (550 will be set aside for smaller work that I don’t need a monster to lug around)
The one thing I noticed about my 572 is that it doesn’t catch nearly as much as my 500i when I’m starting it. And we all hate that when the saw bashes your knuckles.
Never had problems with 572 to my recollection. I ran one right after my hand injury. I think the starter fails on 592 because of soft plastic gear and high compression.
Im not trying to be rude but im wondering if I saw it correctly, it looked like that walnut tore the hinge on the the side that you were on with the saw and laid out to the right, didn't look like it caused any problems, just wondering if reading your cut right! Its a whole different thing to watch someone cut in a video vs being on the stump yourself! Just a side note, you deserve a ton of respect for being good at what you do and still finding the time to film, edit and respond to every comment!
I’m not sure but it looks like it fell to the right of where intended. I cut that tree a few weeks ago so I can’t remember now. Doesn’t appear to have tore up the butt so I conciderate it a success. That woods had a bunch of dead junk everywhere and I can’t remember the details. Thank you for the kind words.
@@Good.Fellers Thank you for the reply as I've found the same thing. Inconsistent availability but I'll keep looking. BTW I tried your method of sharpening. Newbie here and still learning but it was eye opening how well it cut. Take care.
Seem to be that preventative maintenance is a must when you make a living with your saw. I'm just a joe with a 450, but I do know maintenance is a must
I have never been so happy with a saw like the 592. You are right, the ergonomics makes it feel light. The power delivery is fast and plenty of torque to stay in the cut. I do a lot of chase cutting in our shitty/hollow leaning oaks and this saw keeps up.
My Friend a Great Video on Maintenance of your Husky Saws. I do the Same thing here with mine. New Parts if Needed. I like Those Bars on the Saws. Do you get them from Madsen's? Could you do a Video on your Sharpening of your Chain. I do mine like you do your Sharpening not at a 30degree angle but about a 26, 27 degree Angle on The RS, 63Gauge Chain. It is the only type I use. They are the Best ones out There. Enjoy my Friend, be Safe. I Fell in The Garage the Other Day. Banged up but Coming Along Nicely.
I’ve got a 592 and a stihl 500i. Give me the stihl any day. The 592 is a great saw but for me the stihl is far lighter, close on power and the acceleration is on a different level.
I use them for estate maintenance, firewood and planking hear in the uk. Just looking at mine to see if the fuel lines are like yours, although it’s never failed.
@@Good.Fellers Come on man the 592 will eat the 500i for breakfast!!!! Big wood the 500i can't hang!!! Get the MS462 if you don't need it for big wood, if you like Stihl - then 462 is way better built saw than the 500i period, the 500i beats the 462 only in bigger wood, and it should 10cc bigger!!! If your in of need bigger wood then purchase MS661 or 592xp. The 70cc class for chainsaws the 572xp and Ms462 are vintage saws Awesome saws will last along time.
Bought one when husky had their 20% sale. Switched to an 8 pin as well. I don't make a living with it but i love the saw and its served me well. I have a mix of Stihl, Husky and Echo and run HP2 at 40:1 in all of them. They are all my favorite because if i don't love a saw, i get rid of it. So i guess its fair to say that my 592 is my favorite saw.....too
That hp2 is good stuff. Very thick. Burns clean. I'm trying maxima k2 now. I like the smell of the k2 better. K2 is thinner. But thicker than stihl oil by a mile. Red armor is good too. It also burns very clean.
I love mine! I know that with a 28-in husky light bar if you pick it up with two fingers by the handle it's level literally perfectly balanced. And the thing is a lightsaber through wood
Ive got 3 592s as well. I ran 395s for since they were 394s. Things i will add that might help you. The ignition wire is not your fault. Ive had it happen twice. Now I silicone those wires into that plastic groove so it holds it in place and it seals dust from getting behind the wires and pushing the blue wire into the flywheel. Problem permanantly solved. The mufflers get dented up and eventually crack along the dent. Now i run the full wrap kit with bigger bumperspikes and tgat helps keeping the tree away from the muffler.i run flush cut handles still because i cut right on the ground or sometimes below the ground when i dig down on some. The top clips that hold the top covers on need switched out before they lose spring. If they get any looseness to them they will vibrate and wear into the lower saw case and a new clip wont fix the problem so watch tgat. The antitivibe springs esp the rear one at the tank snap unexpectantly so i keep those on hand. And the starter assembly which you already mentioned. So i keep an ignition coil, antivibe springs, starter assembly, cover clips on hand along with all the other extras. That sounds like alot and people will say i dont have to work on my stihl like that..that means theyy dont run them everyday most of the day. Stihls are a great saw but when you work the shit out of a saw you are gonna have to maintain what you have no matter tge brand. With that said I like my 592s.
This is a great comment with a ton of useful knowledge. I used super glue on the blue wire and now will be putting it on the other saws. Your statement on maintaining a saw you run the hell out of is absolutely correct. Thank You!
I only run a 8 pin in my 592, the 395s were fast enough and didn’t have the torque for a 8 pin. I’m not sure of the saws you mentioned as I’ve never run them.
@@Good.Fellers all in the chain as you say. The 390 was a nice saw for size of timber. I run a slightly thinner gauge of chain which may help with the torque issue you mentioned. The 390 xp is about the same hp as a 592 xp just a little more weight.
