brandy new fresh outa the box yesterday with a 36” bar. Instruction book is pretty unimpressive. Probably gonna run it this afternoon. I run 40:1 e-free with Husqvarna oil in the silver bottle in all my other saws. Any special “break in” techniques I should be aware of?
Very nice! Can't help you much with break-in proceedure. Not familar with the Auto-Tunes. I picked up a 395 last week. I loaded it with my regular mix 32:1 Saber and let the big dog eat.
Sweet saw! I picked up a 572xp w auto tune recently and from what I've gathered reading around the net, the manual and from the feedback I've got listening to what the saw is telling me- it wants to have a heavy load during 2-5 break in tanks.. Not continuous 30+ second cuts, but definitely in big wood with most of the bar buried, with little half-second 'breather breaks' during the cut feels right to me. Cutting smaller sized 12-18" wood feels like it never hits the sweet spot for rpms. But maybe that's just the way these bigger saws are. It's probably fine to just run it like you need to out of the box though, i wouldn't worry much about it. After breaking it in Id still never rev it up high without a load.
I’ve come up with a new ad slogan for Husqvarna! Husqvarna 592 xp….. THE MOST FUN YOU CAN HAVE WITH YOUR CHAPS ON!!!
I agree - I’m two tanks into a new 562xp, and I scoured the booklet to no avail for break-in info. I read recommendations on other sites to just start using it. Most said to avoid letting it scream unloaded, which isn’t my style anyways.
Spent a full day in the woods at a customers house. Bucking him up firewood. Cut Osage orange cherry and ash. Love the 362 the 250 never left her chaingaurd
That's funny, Actually, my son was putting a new fuel tank on it right then, I guess it made it easier to get to the engine.
Seems I come across it in pockets. Most of the big stuff I come across is out in cattle pastures. Cattle farmers like it because it gives cattle refuge from the sun in summer months. Most of the time, I’m only allowed to trim. Last big rounds I received was from a firewood seller. We traded. He wanted Oak, I wanted Osage. For a fireplace or fire pit, Osage is less desirable due to its burning characteristics Like you and BL, Osage is my favorite. And I do have the big tree locations mapped.
