572xp - 12 seconds / cut 500i - 11 seconds / cut Husqvarna 572xp Vs Stihl 500i timed cuts in ash, both with Stihl light bars and unfiled Stihl Hexa 3/8 chain. Hope you enjoyed watching and please consider subscribing if you did!
I have a 572, and it is a heavy old saw, but also very well built and extremely easy to start, cold or warm. Used to have a Stihl 462, which IMO is the natural competitor to the 572, and that was somewhat lighter and had a snappier torque curve. Have a preference for Husqvarna
You can’t beat the power/weight ratio of the 500i, but I just like the smoothness of the Husqvarna, better air filtration, caps don’t leak, and it just feels built a little better
Been debating between the 572xp, 500i and ms462c for firewood. Currently have a 272xp but want to switch to stihl for dealer support. Husqvarna dealers are disappearing all around me. Is 500i worth the premium?
@@mark5821 in a way it depends on how big your firewood is.. but in another way, imagine something with the power of a 390xp or dolmar 7900 that weighs the same as a 560xp!
Yeah I'm very interested to see what he can do with it. I picked up my 365 special last night and after running all these stock saws it was like a firework in my hands!! 🔥
Very interesting. I think for me its still the 500 for me more cc's and less weight are just dominating factors. I didnt think it would be that close though! Excellent content sir.
@@patrickvennard838 That's a very valid reason to guide your choice. I'm not sure husqy will try to compete with it to be honest. I think they are focusing on the battery powered saws market. Who knows though!
