New stuff us always nice but I still like my 268xp and my 272xp saws. Should be a good year of saw building this year. Look forward to following your work. TC Mahalo Tinman🤙🤙🤙
I sold every 5 series that’s has come threw here I’m not a fan of auto tune or strato setups. I can see why folks like not tuning there saws it’s just not for me I want control. Great video hope you and the family are well. ❤️🔥🧬☀️
Tinman, love what you're talking about for future videos. I have 3 028s, all supers, love them as limbers. Keep it up man and best wishes to the family and lil C.
Myself I prefer the auto tunes saws . The 565 & 572 are my two favourites. Both I own and are build by Donny Walker. They are flat out awesome. Donny does fantastic work. That being said the 372 is almost impossible to beat. It has reliability in spades. If I could only have one saw it’d be a 372
I have only run a 572XP out of that group of saws but I love it now. When I first got it it was a dog before break-in and I thought I should have bought my first Stihl saw which would have been a 462. Now after breaking it in I love it along with my 5 other Husqvarna’s (T540iXP, 550XP mkii, 562XP, 592XP, 395XP). Thanks for the video Tinman.
Go for a wide powerband on the Stihl and set it up with an 18 inch bar and Stihl RS chain. You will wind up using it more than you think for cutting up firewood. I would take a non x-torq 372 in Husqvarna, I've used a 570 and find it just too heavy. A lot of people say the Ms440 will outperform a 372, though I think the feel of a saw plays just as much importance as how much power it has.
I have several of the 028 and a few supers they are heavy but they just run and run. I have my grandfather 028 he bought new has kept many people warm for many winters.
Any one of those saw's you can't really go wrong with, but having all four on the table or in the back of your truck at the same time is even better! looking forward to some of your future build's coming up.
@@austindenotter19 Early X Troq's had some bearing issue's first few year's but you could change them out for better one's ie steel cage bearing's like SKF. Husqvarna made a lot of improvement's to the later model X Troq's they got limited coil's so guy's would stop revving them to the moon, but almost all saw maker's now do that. Biggest one was changing the case's by stiffening or adding internal webbing and adding an extra case bolt or two. Even the non x Troq early 372 and highly sought after 371's had problem's with bearing pocket's along with case failure when guy's put long bar's on them , that's why they got a case upgrade. Main reason why they have stayed in production well past their end date is because people keep buying them and demanding them, so up till now Husqvarna has listened. The 372 in all form's is just plain popular and for a reason (excellent power to weight ratio).
I dont have any experience with the 372 unfortunately, I sure do love my walkerized 572 though. Ol’ Donny can really make a saw rip! Thanks for all the great content! You sure fuel my addictions!
@@williamwallace9620 You can just call the walkers saw shop, it cost me like $450 us. That was shipped up and back. If you call, they give you all the details. It took a while, I think 2-3 months.
Love it! Been thinking about getting a 70cc class saw as my saw collection has a big gap from 62 to 92cc's lol! Tho honestly, a strong 50cc saw will handle 90+ percent of the cutting one can do in my area.
I enjoy the comparisons on the 70cc saws. A followup video on the 572xp will be great. I am mighty curious on your feelings on the 357xp as I very much enjoy running the one we have. I believe I will buy a 562xp to try and out do the 357xp. Keep up the content.
I’ve been running the 576xp for about 5 yrs . I also have a 572xp . I still to this day choose my 576xp over the 572xp. Both have 28” bars . Both muffler mods.
As the owner of a super clean 028 av super(for $50) I’m leaning towards a torque monster. I’ve already got the 661 but I like the light weight of the 028. For regular stuff. I’ll probably just follow along with whatever you decide to do.
I sold my 028 super for pennies. It was tired. I burn wood and needed reliability. The 572 isn’t that impressive to me. Especially for that money. A buddy has the 576 xp auto tune and it’s the same. My 590 with a 28” bar is the same power and lot lighter and half the money. Triple the warranty too
I have a 028 wood boss ive big bore pop-up that I've ported, dont think i went crazy as far as tinung numbers go. it has had a weird issue since ive put the bb kit on it. Chasin a vacuum leak. Excited to see what you do with yours!
I just wanted a new 372 and I ended up getting an x-torq and porting it. I’m pretty happy with it…it’s definitely a speed saw more than a torque saw. It’s sensitive to rakers lower than 0.025. I “unstrato’d” it and I don’t think there’s much fuel consumption penalty.
I know there is not much one can do to mod the 550XP MK2, but would love to do so. Specially adding a nice exhaust to it for sound + performance. In the EU I guess this is not that common?
Goodevening, thanks for the great video and comparision, but i wasn't able to make a decision, will be great if you can give me a recommendation Tinman, i'm seriously thinking to give back my 545 mk2 for buy probably the 372XP X torq or you would recommend to go directly for the 572 if possible ( worth the difference in price??). Greetings, hope you can help me Giovanni
I’m looking forward to what you do with the 028 and wondering what’s happening to the 038 mag that blew up? Would love to see how you fix it and solve the problems with the paint flaking off from inside the crank casing, is it possible to just remove the paint and leave it as bare metal? Love what you do Tinman and every video you do I learn something from 👍 Best wishes to you all the way from Devon U.K.
A little off topic, i recently watched Dyno Joe Mods videos of a build with a 272 top end on a 357/9 chassis. With your love and experience with 266/272 top ends, i would love to see your take on that build.
Another good video thanks Tinman! Please do Walt's set of mods to that 365 and grind the transfers out.. totally transforms the saw. Did it to the one on my channel and I love it. It's kind of a hybrid, a bit of the character of the OE 372 and a bit of the clean revvy Autotune qualities too!
Hey tinman! New fav saw is my 572, I had planned on porting it but just did a good muffler mod which really woke it up! I will probably still tear into it though haha Cheers
Easy fix with 6202. My first 372xtorq 2010 model lasted until I decided to replace everything last winter. It was still a strong running saw with lots of hours on the nylon caged bearing. My 346’s are still going with nylon, that’s the new thing. Keep sharp chain and don’t over rev for long periods of time and there just fine. We run 550,562,572 at work the guys who know how to run a. Saw have no problems it’s the ones who can’t sharpen a chain and run wide open have issues with bearing failure.
The only problem with a wrap is you can’t cut as close to the ground , I cut stumps off close to the ground , so I can drive the truck over them . Build all my firewood roads that way 👍🇨🇦
I bought a 357xp around six months ago and I am having carburetor issues or something too. It is so sensitive when I adjust the carb. The slightest turn of the low adjustment. It is crazy sensitive. I turn the adjustment 1/16 of a turn either way is the difference between it idling or not. I am very interested in seeing how you fix your issues with yours. I did drill a small hole in the top plate of the carburetor. It didn't fix the problem.
I hate that I have to say this to other viewers. If you jb weld an over port it is not worth full money to resell. When it works it’s great, but you can’t tell how long it will last. Keep it and beat it.
Just bought my 565 my 1st auto tune, will she heck run on low idle for more than a few seconds. Have read that if i run a fast high idle for 30-60 seconds before i blip the throttle that should set it? Can anyone confirm?? Cheers 🍻
I have a old Husavarna that has a aluminum body and no serial numbers.I can measure the piston but should I fill the cylinder to find the CCs too to order a rebuild kit ?
Take some pics and post them on a forum or facebook group. There are plenty of guys out there who can give you at least the family if not exact model just from a few decent pictures. Also try looking for numbers on the bottom edge of the cylinder. Most saws have the bore cast on. Or just search up the complete number and "Husqvarna" and see what comes up.
Why are the 70cc series husq seem to be more popular than 281xp or the 288xp , wieght to power should be better on the 80cc series , anyone care to comment ?
That's a good question, might be just fuel efficiency. I will probably start logging soon and I can't make up my mind between ms500i ms462 and 572xp. Ms500i seems like great one big saw plan(and still quiet light) I already have pro 50cc ported by me, and top handle 25cc. What's Ur view on that?
For whatever reason here in Wisconsin husky 372 70cc was a good bridge saw between cutting pulpwood and for cutting large timber. The 181 and 281 just to bulky for pine thinnings where as husky 272/372 era saws will cut both very well. Back then we got 1 saw to make momey with. Now my truck is overflowing with whichever saw i pick for that day of the week!
The 281 ans 288 were good saws in their day for sure. But hard to compare to a good 372, the 372 will out cut them in normal sized wood and is lighter. That being said I love my 181, it's a great saw.
Haven't seen too much porting on them other than people doing some airflow tricks that enhance performance. The auotune seems to keep up with the changes.
372 x torq bottom of list by far. Bad bearings. 576 better more reliable. 572 still to new. 372 original best saw ever created. However the 572 seems to have a lot more torque and falls big timber way better.
572xp has been bulletproof for me so far. A few mods to the exhaust, piston and transfers really perk it up considerably. Very SMOOTH saw albeit a fuzz heavier than comparable 70cc saws. I don’t see too many parts saws available on the open market. Either they’re not braking down or guys are keeping em

Really interested in the 028 got one and watching the farmatech 372 build
028s are pretty tough old saws, make a torque monster
i love my572! but my just built 2163 convert to 2176.5 is lighter for my old bones and cuts like crazy with less weight!
I like the x torq saws! Gut the dividers and little grinding and they do great

The best was THE 272Xp
No arguement but the original 371/372 family had a 15 year production run. That is unheard of in any type of industry.
I have a 272xp and a 394xp both I rebuilt. Besides a smaller limb saw these are the last two saws I need to ever own.
Which saw would you recommend for milling with a 32” bar?

do you run the oiler wide open on the 572?
