I have the 455 Rancher and as a gardener it is more than capable of doing everything I need. Don't do a lot of tree felling but a lot of logging up, done many 24inch logs with no problem. Excellent machine!
I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle ru-vid.comUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 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.
Top handles should be for climbing only. Kickback on sprocket tipped saws is inevitable not having the same control as a rear handle is definitely dangerous. Would definitely not advise for a carpenter. PS the 120mk2 is a toy saw might get my niece one for Christmas. what about the 254XP? How has the 365 superceded the 372XP? would be great if you did another updated video.
@@keithclark486 Guess you haven’t seen the timed cut comparison vids between the 565 and 572. The 572 is faster by 1 second. Not much in the real world for 300 bucks less in my case. I never said it was the fastest it seems to have a less peaky and forgiving powerband. My friend is actually my cousin who worked at his father’s sawmill for 25 years. I’m sure he knows how to sharpen chains and dress bars.
@@keithclark486 Yea, I should have saved longer for a 572 definitely but for $749 shipped with a 20” bar I couldn’t pass it up. Just a farm saw and firewood saw anyway. How is the 565 holding up?
Because Sthil is the number one selling saws. Like them both and have took a more liking of the sthil . Sthil engines last longer with the double ring piston which last longer with more torque.
I have never seen one that says Husky on the side. It always says Husqvarna. I own 4 of them 1 Stihl and 1 Echo. All are good saws. I cannot compare the Husqvarna to the Stihl. They are too different in size.
All right - let's try to pronounce the brand name 'Husqvarna' correct. It is NOT pronounced like 'Haskevarna' - it's a Swedish name and the correct pronounciation is 'Huus-kvarna' (which also happens to be the name of the Swedish town the company origins from).
