I absolutely loved the 576xp. I thought it was heavy for it's class, but admirable performance for a 5.5hp 75cc saw. Despite its over 14.5lbs, and size... It was just so SMOOTH running. I couldn't wait for the 572xp. The evolutionary step of the game-changing 372!! Then I ran a 462c. It's shocking that it's under 14lbs, and almost 6 horsepower, and incredibly smooth running. Small, low profile, powerful, light, and FAST, plus it's very easily maintained. Then the 500i. Seriously? Absolutely phenomenal. So light and nimble, yet has almost 7 horses. Over a pound lighter than Husqvarna closest competitor, with substantially more power. And SMOOTH!!! Husky dropped the ball at the goal-line. The 500i has no answer from Husky, nor even anything that can compete for that class. I loved my 576. I truly did. But I realized that I was making excuses to bridge some ethereal failing of Husqvarna. It's sad, that one of the most innovative saw companies, just allowed their biggest competition to get so far ahead.
You're right ! I bought this saw in 2009 and it broke in the spring due to low-quality gasoline with a bio component.. This cat cut hundreds of m3 of wood for sale. It paid off in the first month of work. I haven't had a better saw in my hand. I like it, so I gave it a general overhaul. I used a Titanicel kit from Taiwan and otherwise all original Husky parts. I use Motul 800 1:50 oil and the saw runs as if it had been reincarnated. For debranching I use Stihl MS 180 and MS 211 (frequent problems with carburetors) and when my back and hands hurt, I use the Husky 350, which is my second indestructible love. I wish that your saw will serve you for a long time at work.
I like 28inch an up on my bigger saws I’m 6ft so i don’t want bend over cutting brush .. STAND UP BUCK ! Lol nothing torches my back more than that slightly being bent over all day Great vids tho keep up the good work
You should alway let your saw warm up. Just start it put it on ground let idle for few min. I do that with all my saws old school saws an new ones . I was taught as youngster by old school logger that’s the proper way an it always worked well for me
