Hi Buckin, The raker height on the C85 X-cut measures about .012" to .014" below the working corner on my samples. The newer X-cut progressive raker gauge will get you closer to the factory height if your interested in trying one. I think you will be surprised at the cutting performance and how long it lasts. The X-cut profile is very easy to duplicate if you profile a stone. It's an asymmetrical grind. Good luck with your testing.
I own a 562XPG and I understand your excitement. It will handle a 36" rip chain, but usually I work with a 20" for small stuff. I would like a Mark II.
The biggest problem people have with the auto tune saws is not knowing how to do a tuning cut. It makes a big difference in throttle response as well. I have a video of doing a tuning cut on my channel.
@@barrymacokiner9423 gotta love the red oak eh once seasoned it's wonderful firewood. Very fortunate here where I'm at to have an abundance of hardwood timber to heat my home with. I still haven't pulled the trigger on the 592 yet waiting for march promotional deals if any
My go to set up for a while now is a 545 Mark II and my 372. I can cut just about anything and im normally loading long logs into my dump trailer and chipping whole tops. Buckin as always i appreciate everything and all the knowledge ive gained from you though the years!
I always start my saw with my right hand on the pull rope. Left hand on the handle. Maybe it’s me maybe it’s the fact that I broke my left shoulder when I was 21 years old I don’t know, but that’s just how I’ve always done it
I use the c83 x cut here in New Mexico, we have a lot of dryer woods, I really like the way it cuts, fast out the box, keeps an edge really well, seems to stretch just as much as Stihl or Oregon, I have been running Husqvarna x-cut chain for about 3 years, and absolutely love it, another great thing is affordability 😉
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith C83 is the .050 version of the C85 chain Husky sent you with the side-beak round grind. I believe C83SK is the skip-tooth square ground, and I don't think Husky makes a full house square ground X-Cut chain yet. Hope this helps
I put on the full wrap handle. I like that I can switch hands when cutting. But I hate that it is in my way when adjusting the chain and it likes to flip over when refueling and adding oil. Also, when I get in the tops of a downed tree that full handle can catch limbs. But like I said it’s nice to be able to switch hands
Started with a Canadian, went to a 090, 066, 044, wore out a bunch of them,thanks to F&G we were given Stihls and today my hands thank me for it, our buckers got Huskys and they are suffering, today Husky has softened their mounts, and I run a few with the young bucks that have great saws, just ran a 881, WOW is all I can say.
Hi Buckin'. In a prefect wood cutting scenario the C-85 works great. Until you hit Steel or Stone, then the honeymoon stage is over. Because the tooth is harden Steel it's very time consuming to get the teeth back to cutting edge and Sharp., compared to other Chains with round Filling. That's my Experience. Earl
I've run c83 (.050 ) in Maple , Dirty maple and it last as long as anything. I have a few years running that stuff. Punted LGX and RS from my truck. AND they don't stretch as fast as the old Oregon chains. Hoping someone comes out with a shaped file as the c83 cuts real good and bore cuts really smooth. Hard to replicate it once it's worn. What I have done it get one "sharpening" with light filing with a round, but sharpening number two it's like every other chain.
Hi Buckin, I use C85, it is the only chain I use. Do exactly what you taught us to do. I always run a 7/32 file in the gullet and follow the line on the top plate out of the box. I also use the regular husky gauge on the hard setting when the tooth is fresh and about half way worn it works out well on the ‘soft’ setting because of the top plate getting lower. Thank you for your videos. 💪🏻
I love c85… even after round filing. I truly feel c85 is made of better steel. I think the edge lasts really well - even in snotty hardwood. It’s so cool you finally got to play with this chain. John Walker says they always have overstock of full house c85!! Win for me! Guys must take them off their brand new saws and put something else on…?
Not sure if you said it in the video because I only watched the first 5minutes. But in case you said it in the video I totally agree that it is a combination that makes a lot of sense. Having a small cutting angle (side beak) to get a high sharpness, makes the cutting edge also thinner and more fragile. But then combining it with very high takers that allow only thin shaving cutting will greatly reduce the stress on the cutting edge preventing it from bending or shipping. You can really feel this effect when you work with woodworking handtools like chisel. Sharpen it in different Angels and use it on different woods also varying the shaving thickness when you cut a mortise or something. You will find that there is a smallest bevel angle for each group of wood that still holds it’s edge for long enough if you cut thin shavings but as soon as you get impatient and hammer to thick shavings the edge will fold or chip depending on the hardness of the steel. Same for the power saw chain but here the high rakers guard the keen edge from being overloaded and early failing.
I just got home from runnin it ,, me liky .. i think i liked it 2 years ago too .. but was probably comparing it to my ported 371s this is a great saw ,, more pull than i remember
Good stuff Buckin. The crankshaft diameter in these is obviously less beefy than the bigger saws, so it see's higher stresses with low rakers on long bars.
Good ta see ya in the bunker again!! That's a good little saw right there, I've been wanting to get a couple of those for the firewood end of things to pair up with the 372xp and a 28 inch bar...gotta love them Huskys
You should definitely have Donny put some of his magic. In that thing, ripsaw is great. But I'm still waiting on my saw. It's been 7 months. I love them but i'm tired of waiting
Buckin husqvarna makes chain specific file guides for their xcut in all sizes, I wonder if that guide preserves the profile. I noticed on mine the back side is lower than the front as it sits on the tooth. It has roller guides
Too bad people's pride will never answer that question. I've been trying my own experiment but i haven't got enough experience with it yet to know if it's better then just doing it freehand
Hell of a deal, that free saw there. You sg I 7ld talk about the mount plate and the adapter a little when recommending using stihl (steel, not still) bars on husky saws
Im really glad to hear you happy to run a 60cc saw!!!! My mark2 562 is a great saw. Hopefully this will make you think differently on modern 60cc saws. Enjoy!!
Just came from my local husky shop had my mits on the 562xp and the 592xp ooohhh boy. The gal behind the counter said maybe march husky will be offering some good deals. May be time to add to my collection Buckin 👍👍😎😎
I’ve got a 592 with a 36” lightweight bar and full wrap handle. Weights 25 pounds. I love the saw but it will wear you out trying to use it all day. Sometimes I have to set it down and use the 550
@@barrymacokiner9423 yes the weight would be daunting but the power when ya need it is gotta be nice to have. I've got lighter saws for sure but that 592 definitely has my attention 😉😉thanks for you're input Barry 👍
I really like the c83(same as the c85 but .050), fastest out of the box even compared to factory square (I've not checked it to the stihl hexa yet though). It also hold the factory edge very well, when it dulls i just hit it with a round file or put it on the square grinder. Its quite hard chain. That EXL cutter you showed a picture of looks nothing like the EXL I've cut with for yrs, mine is much more aggressive. I like those stihl raker guides for picco chain, but they set the rakers a bit low even using the hardwood setting, which isn't fun when you do a lot of bore cuts. Congrats on the new saw. Never ran the 562 mk2, i have a ported mk1, nice running saw. The bummer is the mk1 is only a few ounces less than my 371/372oe, so i run them with tue longer bars and the ported 562 with 20-24. Have a great day
Been using power saw’s since the 70s, never liked the full wrap handle cuz there were too many times I needed to get closer to the ground on the stump . I would use the top of the bar to make most of the back cuts cuz I was too lazy to do too much moving around and it has worked pretty well and I never limbed with my bar I always limbed with the tip of my bar because it was cheaper to replace the tip than to replace the bar
Hey Buckin, I recently got my dad’s old 395xp. I was curious on where I could get a modded muffler made. Thank you, love the videos! Very informational!
oh damn ... just when I got my 562xp and set it up with a 28" bar and a milling chain ... now I find out I am already a second class citizen ... sob sob. Mark II looks great.
Hey buckin. I got that c85 x-cut on my 32” 395 cut for about 5 minutes and took one and a half swipes off the rakers. Haven’t touched them since. Great chains and seem to hold up good
Husqvarna's are great chainsaws especially the older ones, new ones are more lightweight and probably more powerful but definitely won't last as long as series 2or 3. Stihl's are also great chainsaws and I think they have models above on par husqvarna, obviously everything is subject to preference.
"Daniel-san"😂 love it my friend! Your content puts a smile on my face everytime. And on top of that, I always learn so much from what you share with all of us! Much appreciated and very grateful for you!!🙏💯🎯🔥🪚
The inconsistency with a couple of the Husky models is a little bit frustrating. The 592 has dogs that bolt to the outside cover, now I see this 562 with dogs that bolt to the outside cover. Why don’t the large dog kits for the 572 have this option? Hmm.
The replacement chain cover that came in my husky-brand full-wrap 572 kit allowed me to mount both inside and outside pro safety dogs (LS385). Do you have a full-wrap chain cover?
I did order the full wrap kit from Walkers and it did come with a replacement side cover. I ordered it in 2020. But the dog falls off when you take the bar nuts off. I wonder has there been an upgrade since 2020? Either way, I ordered the West Coast side cover and dogs for it and I’m very pleased with that. Thanks for the information.
@@lhi3405 Ohhh yeah there's supposed to be a single screw that will fasten the dogs to the cover. I couldn't find it in my packaging, and had Baileys send me a replacement, which they kindly did for free. I didn't get a size, but it came in an honest to God husky parts bag all by itself.
After watching your videos I bought a full wrap for my 572 husqvarna but unfortunately I lost them to the Oregon road fire down here in eastern Washington state last August
Hi buckin', im new to the channel and my fist post. Ive watched most of your RU-vid videos and love your voice on everything. Im currently running a 562xp mark 1. Ive done a 7/32 file sharpening on it with success. If that helps. Using the C85 x-cut chain. It cuts beautiful. Im located in central Wisconsin and cut soft and hard wood wuth a 20" bar on it. The saw runs it well abd i look forward to seeing you run your new mark 2.
Buckin! Hows it going? Congrats on the 562. I look forward to seeing you're review of the new husky. Keep up the teaching and positive vibes! Love wins
Oh my, what big walking teeth you have! Lol. Love the full rap handle also. I used to run 064 Stihl many years ago. I'm not a Husky fan, but i do not hate them, ok. I hope Husky keeps treating you good.
Looks a little like the hexa chain profile. I'm too clumsy to square file, it takes me all day. I could see using the hexa chain files - but if its too much work I'll just stick with round file.
I want one. And i don't even cut wood. Lol...well soon I will be. Had an elm took down near my house. Going to cut it up for firewood for my folks fire pit. I've limbed a few small stuff with a battery saw but that's about it on my experience. Don't really know what cc i need. Maybe 45 or 50cc so I can cut up the elm. I know that wood is hard as crap. I may get an echo since there's a dealer nearby.
Hi buckin . Loving the vids. Where do you find parts for older saws . I've got a old homelite little red xl . Great little trimming saw . It gaulded the piston and was actually locked up . I managed to get it freed up but of course piston is junk now and big scratch on exhaust side of cylinder . Prob not worth fixing but my dad gave me this saw so thought I'd see if I can fix it . I'm in the states in east Tennessee. Any info is appreciated. Thanks
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith very smooth and you can hear the power. Yea, I love the crackle of the Mac…but to me…the sound of the husky is much stronger than a Stihl…and I have only Mac and Stihl…but I may NEED a Husqvarna now!!
Hey Ray, just curious if you've ever had or used a stihl 041av and can possibly give me some pointers on how to get it running right after doing a full carb clean
Wow im so glad to hear a professional say that im not by no means just started this channel me and my wife do alot firewood i cut she splits i fell off about 3 to 4 years broke both writs and my right heel and foot @@BuckinBillyRaySmith
Well as for the stock chain kind of like Stijl x chain or what ever the call it it takes a special type of File it’s kind of a octagon shape now I don’t understand why make a chain like that where you can’t duplicate the profile Unless they had mine for you as a consumer to go buy another chain after so many cuts with it when I get’s dull 🥴
