Husqvarna 572xp fuel consumption

Exactly

 

I am admiring that wood!! I bet it was a joy to cut. Awesome awesome Nixon, thanks for the reply!!

 

No sir, I think the only husky's I have owned were a 271,372,572xp. I have had several Stihls from 029 to ms440, main reason for post was to get toknow some of you guys, thanks for the reply!

 

No sir, never had those models; however they sound like they would be fun to run!!

 

No sir, I'm south of warrensburg. He must have been a cool dude being a milk man and all. There's not many of us around!!! Nice to meet you

 

Yea my 395 is a heavy drinker, but nothing compared to my old 084av that takes about a half gallon to fill up.

 

So I took some of your advice! I changed cutters from grabby to aggressive and let her rpms run up..... cut a cord of hedge in 38 minutes granted it was a big tree it did out perform the 440, I just had to listen to her needs. Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it!!!

 

When all is said & done I think you’re gonna be pleased with that saw.

 

I have a 576xp and she is thirsty all the time, big tank too. 20” bar she rips though

 

I say set up a few logs on a stand and time both the 440 and the 572 xp with brand new chains. At least that way you have a apples to apples comparison and you can check this again after 20 tanks to see if you improved. Note the wood type and diameter of course!! Enjoy and welcome.

 

So I put it next to the 440, it is smoother, weight is about the same, it was like comparing Ford to Chevy lol. They both have things I like and things I don't! I do like the husky push down to kill.

 

I will put a season on it and see, she ate the hedge (osage orange)dead or alive like a champ. The love for her is growing, kind of like bad beer.... eventually it's not so bad!!

 

I have used 440 before but i used a 660 alot and i like that too

 

I always wanted a 660 or 88, but I cut for home use. About 10 cord a winter and never could justify. I am addicted to wood, I study the grain before I split lol. There is just something about wacking and stacking! I am envious of my counterparts in the north woods, some of those trees give me wood thinking about splitting them! Lol

 

I have a 660 but it’s to heavy for me any more. I should sell it it’s like new & perhaps get something like a 572

 

I've run 562's and 550's, no 572 yet. What stood out the most to me, they are the smoothest cutting saws I've ever used. Excellent anti-vibe.

 

I have a 550 & LOVE it.
