I can't wait to see you lay a tree down with that saw..... people pay attention to his movements and how he holds the saw close.... it helps so much.... I've went from my whole upper body hurting when I run a saw to running it no problems. Buckin thank you so much for your knowledge. 🙏
My grandfather had alot of the tools I see you have.... i wish I could of learned to use them from him and learned the things he knew. Thank you buckin for all you show and teach. ❤
Thank you reviewing this saw. I know you don’t want your channel to become a saw review channel but throwing them in every once n a while is very helpful to beginners like me.
im far from the experienced chain hand filer.... but the difference from "i know its getting worn some" to the experience after i file is drastic, thanks to channels like this.
The 572EX in now my primary falling saw for 3 reasons. 1 The anti vibrating bushings really make a difference. 2 That balance with the power head & bar. 3 The power to weight ratio.. There is plenty of power for its weight. Thanks for reviewing this saw, great insight.
Buckin is exactly right on point , talking about a chain out of the box . It's just not as good as a good hand file. 100 percent the info people need to hear and understand . No bs or lies for your views just the straight truth. Tyvm buckin
Havent watched your videos for 3.5 years Buckin, been in prison, meth addiction finally caught up to me. Glad to see that you're still swinging chainsaws around, your videos give me the courage and strength to work on myself day in and day out. Stay safe Buck and keep doing what you're doing.
Nice saw, Buckin'! ❤ Nice story about the preference: when I was doing my certification the instructor asked just before we were heading out if anyone had a true preference for a brand. They had Husky and Stihl and there was 1 guy who said he would only run a Stihl powersaw. The instructor replied: "Great, here's a Husqvarna for you!" The guy was somehow dissapointed, but ran the saw all day long and when the instructor asked him at the end of the day if it was really that bad he could only say no. He even got to like the saw he was running, though I forgot what type it was. The point the instructor was trying to make is that there are no bad saws comming from both companies. Yes, there are differences in where to apply a saw and someone can simply have a good 'feel' using a certain brand, but there are no bad saws. At least not in the professional saws, consumer saws... well, that's something else.
Love my 572xp and 592xp! Absolute weapons they run like a ported saw from the factory and the 592xp has a totally open muffler from the factory it really cracks. I've been falling with my two for the last year non stop here in Australia and love them! Sold my 372xp and 3120xp as I just never picked them up again after using these!
I've had my 572XP for a few years now and love it. Can be a bit heavy, been running the regular husky 28" bar and looking to put a light weight 24" on soon. Everything is so well thought out on the husky XP's - the captive fuel and oil caps, the choke, ergononics and anti-vibe system and starting procedure. Those west coast bars are tempting! That saw really gets a new life after it's broken after a few tanks.
I know what you mean Buckin' I've ran a lot of Stihl over the years and they are great saws but there's nothing like running a sharp Husky. My main saws are a 346 xp G, 562 xp and a 572 xp G and I love them all. I own a small logging and firewood business and are running them a lot and fairly hard and they just keep going. As always thanks for the great videos and even better info.
I do quite like how the newer huskies have the forwarded handle on the full wrap. It took half a day of falling to get used to it, but i prefer it now. The length of the power head was also a little strange at first. The distance from the top handle to the trigger is noteably farther apart, seems insignificant but it is a weird sensation to get used to when you've spent years with your hands closer together. Another wierd thing to get used to is the anti-vibe. The engine definitely jiggles and moves around a ton more than the 372, but man it makes the difference after 10 hours in the wood.
I've loved my reliable Husq 350 from 2003. I heat 100% with firewood in northern Indiana. That saw has never let me down and has kept us warm for 20 yrs.
I absolutely agree. My 350 is like a good friend. ill never sell it. Its still my go to saw and iv had it 20 years. Its cut acres of wood and to this day has excellent compression and revs out. It out cuts the 460 which is 10 years newer. Less power but its faster. Will see though...just got this 572
I run a 572xp as my primary falling saw. Mine is bone stock and I do really love it. However, it took me about 10 seconds of listening to the RipSaw version as you ran it in the wood and I can hear/see a big improvement in performance. Yes, it needs a pipe to really come alive!
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith dude, you remind me so much of my late father, like yourself a faller for most of his life, but his time still had axes for brashing off. A huksi xp man through and through. for me there was not better man then my father and for him, there was no better saw than the XP. and like yourself if it was cutting steel, pocket knife, kitchen knife axe and saw chain, it was sharp, really sharp. greeting from Wales, stay safe chap

The 572xp is the one saw I want brand new. It’s great. I had a 2014 390xp and it was a tank, heavy as one too. I love the old classics as well. I’d be happy with a 288xp high top and a new 572xp. Slap a full wrap on both
I have the exact same saw. I love it. I did not always love it, I started to hate it. I do a lot of bucking full sized trees, one right after the other. After my saw would get hot and I turned it off I could not restart it. It would not prime and some times the fuel would boil inside the fuel tank. Now I just prime it before shutting it off. Sometimes I prime it until it dies and now its starts every time even when it is hot. That is no problem for me. I have a 28" on it now but I bought a 32" for limbing because I have some back issues and the longer bar allows me to stand upright. This is the best saw I have ever used and I am 59 and started cutting when I was 16. The heated grip is great if you cut a lot in the severe cold. PEACE.
Bought a 572xp 2 years ago as my first "real" saw for falling and its been an incredibly reliable and great saw. I prefer it over my 562, even though its a bit heavier
Just bought a new xp 572 today. 28 inch bar. Got a few cuts in on the woodpile before dark. Just frekin beautiful . If it came with a headlight i probabley would still be cutting wood tonight.. lol . I am looking forward to the bush tomorrow. Trees are gonna fall. woohoo.
I've had my 572XP for 2 years now. It actually does the work of three 455 Rancher. I do also have a 455 Rancher and it was the primary saw that did most of the felling and bucking between my dads CS590 and my uncle's 455 Rancher. Which was about 65% of the work. My 572 now does 85% of the work between 3 saws. I am looking into getting a Husqvarna 585 but installing the piston and cylinder form the 592XP. Hoep to see more of the 572XP RIPSAW. TThanks for showing us yer new saw!
I got the Husqvarna 445 and it is plenty strong. It have used that for firewood the last 10-15 years, plus running a small firewood business in the winter. I have abused that little sucker in every way and when it got a little tired I bought another one. Now i keep the old saw as a backup and for emergency spare parts. That have saved me many many times.
Hi Buckin', love your videos. I'm a log home builder in the okanagan and run husky my whole life. This 572 is totally redesigned, bore went from 50mm to 48mm, stroke went from 36mm to 39mm and they put the crank bearings from the 385/390 in these new saws. Not sure if you know, this saw replaced the 576, its got more hp and torque over the 576.
Husky vs Stihl is one of those things. I can only comment that here in Australia, we have Stihl shops and there are Husky dealers - no Husky shops. When I bought my Stihl, the shop had everything I wanted to change on the shelf and we did a this-for-that swapsies, crediting back the stock gear at parts prices and adding the extras as we went. I left within the hour with a new, genuine saw, built and demonstrated. Done. Go to a Husky dealer and you buy the whole stock saw, then they order the part you want to change. There mightn't be much between the saws in terms of "performance", but the parts and support is what does it for me. Let's get back to the video 🤙
I love these video posts you make! I been too busy here since winter set in chopping but all in all satisfied. You may get negative comments about saws but to each their own, if it works why make any negative comments on this awesome channel this guy knows his equipment. As I mentioned before I still use my 80's Homelite SuperXL and I love it, my backup bday present MS250 is still in the box. Lately I been cutting with my 3.5' MADE IN 🇺🇸 crosscut manual saw and I make do. Its because I'm paying $8.50 a gallon for fuel soo... all good im gaining more muscle and chopping wood is my thing. Woodstoves are a must have here and I love my crosscut manual saw also giving my Homelite a break, most people complain about the weight and my direct answer is "My saw is not for everyone." Cheers!
Thank 😢for what you do I'm a logger and you taught me so much I don't know I've even in the business for 5 years please don't stop I love you brother I hope that means something to you
Nice saw Buckin’!! I got a 592 xp g last year. Put a full wrap just like yours on it. 36” lightweight. Love it! Only thing is you need to reset the auto tune if it sits a while. 5 long passes down a log at full throttle holding the saw at a 45 degree angle. She’ll sound better
Gudday Buckin Wen I was doing firewood , I had my chain breaker on a bench with a nail at the other end with all the different lengths of bars I used marked on the bench,drag it out put on nail mark the length needed them break . Quick & easy mate . I'm husky for life and the 300 year badge on my 2101 xp is the bomb . Love your channel
Wow Buckin'! It's been a minute since I last checked in. Your intro fell was outstanding. I had to use both hands to scoop my jaw off the desk at work. Keep it up. Stay safe and happy.
If there’s anything to say about Husqvarna is that you with get a bulletproof saw that will work for life. I have ran 372 XP for 40 years. They always have been reliable and easy to work on And you can find parts easily. But that only when it comes down to commercial grade chainsaws. But not all Husqvarna’s are good for example all the chainsaws they at Home Depot for homeowners are lemons. If you’re gonna buy a Husqvarna save your money and buy commercial chainsaw. Awesome video buckin 👍
Hold it to the boards! But under load, its gas pressure that forces rings to seat. How do we create an environment that promotes this? RPM & load. The bearings will soften up with time.
XP-G!?!? Thank goodness. The big dog can keep those hands warm and pretty even in extreme cold! Look at those mitts. Coulda been a hand model! Keep it real Buckin’! Love your videos.
I have six chainsaws and I cut firewood from around my property to heat my home. I just picked up the 592xp, it's as little bit bigger and stronger than the one you have but not by much. I have to say it's the most dangerous saw I've ever used. I was doing the same thing, trying to cut 'smaller' logs using the tip with my foot on the log. I found it works better if you get down low and bring the log right up to the engine right by the teeth, much safer that way. Have fun and be careful!
I wish I still had my grandfather's 2-man McCulloch chainsaw. He was a wiry old guy who carried and ran it all by himself. He had his own woodlot where we'd go every fall to get the seasons firewood. We'd fell the trees with a Homelite and then he'd cut it all to length with his 2-man chainsaw while I loaded it into the trailer which had been made from the box end of a 1930's pick-up truck.
I do about 2 bushcord of hardwood a year. My 445 was a little too light for the heavy trunk cuts. I bought a Rancher 455 great for the trunk but a little too heavy for limbing/pruning. I think one needs 2 saws: light and heavy. Added bonus if one gets stuck you don't have to embarrassly ask to borrow the neighbours ha ha
I haven't cut wood in 20 years, last log was around a 36" foot fir, firewood, in the snow, bush.. I miss it a LOT! windfall, fell across an access road and it was cut and shoved off to the side, I got it out of the way and opened up the road more, got a few very nice chopping blocks for my efforts too, my little McCullough chain saw with a 32" blade, lol.. made quick work out of it tho, about 18 feet of it in a few hours, chopped and stacked in the truck, cord n half, old first growth burned so nice got me n' my dad thru a few winters in the cook stove .. miss it, dunno where any of my cut gear is? axes, had 10 or so, chain saws, sharpeners, wedges, everything, dunno what happened to any of it? pretty sure it all got jacked and left here and there, borrowed never returned, the saw it just ended up missing.. I believe the axes or most are at my cousins or buddies house? hale I dunno
That’s an amazing machine. My little 455 Rancher works great for what I need at the moment, but when the kids move out and we downgrade our house size and upgrade our property, I might need to ask Santa for one of these.
Billy's grin after he started that saw was so damn genuine I couldn't help but giggle. I'm glad to know I'm not alone in how giddy I get when new tools arrive
I cant speak on the husky saws from ripsaw but I can speak on the 400c from ripsaw its an absolute animal for its size 67cc they did an a top tier build on it. Thank u 4 all u do brother.
I’ve been eying a 572xp for a couple years now. My go to is a 550xp and that does 90% of what I need. But man the seventy two would be nice for the bigger stuff every now and then. I don’t saw enough to really need it… but… love the Chanel
One of our customers got a ported 572 from us and sent pics cutting 4'+ hard maple. That stuffs extremely hard cutting and he said the saw handled it awesome
West coast guy here too and totally agree about the way it feels when you start chewing away. CHAWOO. Just skookum. Funny how all lumberjacks start to sound like those old appalachain mountain men lol
Husqvarna is a great brand. Don’t have one of their chainsaws but do have zero turn mower from husky. Love it, you can’t go wrong with their equipment.
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith 18 years of tree cutting .some tough trees .butt there is something about the setup to cutt a tree thats so awesome. Or its just me.
My favorite orange saws are 281/288XP and 395XP. Been considering experimenting w/ the 500 generation AutoTune saws, but have been reluctant. Hope to see more vids of you breaking in and using the 572 to get your honest take on whether migrating to the new stuff is really worth it.
thats a hell of a saw buckin. that knife is pretty wonderful too. very cool to hear your in depth thoughts on what makes a saw great. I still miss the old 10/10s sometimes but these things sure do rip and tear
I'm 60, been a firewood, logger and now 1 man tree service guy for about 30 years. Never been injured in any way ,but I've been VERY close to it. Most if my close calls are from limbing a felled large pine or fir walking through a jungle of BIG overhead limbs with a small limbing saw " after" letting off the gas and then grabbing a limb with one hand while lowering the saw down with the other hand while it's still spinning down and " zip " i cut my chaps or my hard plastic knee pads. Most close call come when I'm tired, sweaty and sore
Love my 572xp and the 550xp… great out of the box saws… however… a tuned one like this is on another level… not many shops like Ripsaw in the UK though…
@@MikeChukplease beware of scammers pretending to be buckin in the comments! And welcome to the buckin army 🪖💪spread the love increase the peace! ✌️❤️🌲🪵🪓🐝
I have always for 20 years odd raved about the 372 and even a mate who runs stihls has a 372 husky raves about it , but I did get to demo a new 572 and wow its a machine, punters do yourself a favour buy a 572 . Thanks old mate ,love your videos , cheers from Australia
I'm a Stihl guy mostly because I have a dealer close by and the closest Husky dealer is more than an hour away. I have nothing against Husky, except I really don't like having the outboard clutch and the brake in the cover. I can access the needle bearings for inspection and greasing and change the sprocket on the Stihl's much easier than it is on the Husky's and even replacing the chain is easier. That RipSaw 500i is a bucket list item for me.
Stihl 462 is a worthy contender to that 572. Performs beautifully limbing or dogged in. From a size and weight perspective it has the 572 whipped (Stihl: 13.2 lbs, 72.2 cc's, 6bhp stock/ Husky 14.5lbs, 71cc's, 5.8hp). I remember you liked running it when you were down at your Pop's place. Ripsaw, let's get Buckin' a ported 462!!
The 462 will rev higher then the 500. If you have the same sprocket on and the 461 can reach maximum revs it will beat the 500. However if your cutting bigger logs with a longer bar the 500 will win. Both great saws. It is also possible to increase a tooth on the 500 with a shorter bar which will make it win every time. It was a trick some guys would use on 660-661s with shorter bars.
Hey buckin really enjoying the videos. I have a 372 xp that has been used hard and not takin care of like needs to be. It was gifted to me by a good friend @ TC sawmills. I am wanting to send it to get “freshened up” and running RIGHT !!! It’s not an everyday saw but when I need it I need it, and not to mention I’m into hot rods and horsepower. Lol. I’ve heard you mention Iron Horse, Ripsaw, and one one other. I’m down here in south MS and trying to get a little sawmill business up and running.
I can't wait to see you lay a tree down with that saw..... people pay attention to his movements and how he holds the saw close.... it helps so much.... I've went from my whole upper body hurting when I run a saw to running it no problems. Buckin thank you so much for your knowledge. 🙏

Great comment!

Always love your sincerity and priceless knowledge. I just unboxed a 592 and this video cold not have been more timely. Thanks Buckin'.

Oops I meant xp not EX. How did that happen?

I love these video posts you make! I been too busy here since winter set in chopping but all in all satisfied. You may get negative comments about saws but to each their own, if it works why make any negative comments on this awesome channel this guy knows his equipment.
As I mentioned before I still use my 80's Homelite SuperXL and I love it, my backup bday present MS250 is still in the box. Lately I been cutting with my 3.5' MADE IN 🇺🇸 crosscut manual saw and I make do. Its because I'm paying $8.50 a gallon for fuel soo... all good im gaining more muscle and chopping wood is my thing. Woodstoves are a must have here and I love my crosscut manual saw also giving my Homelite a break, most people complain about the weight and my direct answer is "My saw is not for everyone." Cheers!
Unreal. That might be the best sounding saw I have heard on this channel. NICE
That trick to untangle the chain was fantastic! You have saved minutes of my life my friend.
Nice work Ripsaw and Buckin. Love the first cuts. Full House rock. Thank you Buckin. 🌲❤️🌲👊🪓
Thank 😢for what you do I'm a logger and you taught me so much I don't know I've even in the business for 5 years please don't stop I love you brother I hope that means something to you
Nice saw Buckin’!! I got a 592 xp g last year. Put a full wrap just like yours on it. 36” lightweight. Love it! Only thing is you need to reset the auto tune if it sits a while. 5 long passes down a log at full throttle holding the saw at a 45 degree angle. She’ll sound better
Love The New Custom Blade, The Saw - Let 'Er Sing B.R. Every-1 Have A Wonderful Day ! Prayers For All Here ! ATB T God Bless
Beautiful saw! Good to see appreciation for well made saws, axes etc. Love the videos
Gudday Buckin
Wen I was doing firewood ,
I had my chain breaker on a bench with a nail at the other end with all the different lengths of bars I used marked on the bench,drag it out put on nail mark the length needed them break .
Quick & easy mate .
I'm husky for life and the 300 year badge on my 2101 xp is the bomb .
Love your channel
Whatever it takes to keep spreading your message! Thank you Ripsaw! Love you all! ❤️✊
Glad yer here
Wow Buckin'! It's been a minute since I last checked in. Your intro fell was outstanding. I had to use both hands to scoop my jaw off the desk at work. Keep it up. Stay safe and happy.
Hi Buckin!! Being a leader is good but I'm going to follow your lead your a good man Buckin thanks for changing my life!!
your a good man
3rd pull! That smile says it all!. Great video buddy.
If there’s anything to say about Husqvarna is that you with get a bulletproof saw that will work for life. I have ran 372 XP for 40 years. They always have been reliable and easy to work on And you can find parts easily. But that only when it comes down to commercial grade chainsaws. But not all Husqvarna’s are good for example all the chainsaws they at Home Depot for homeowners are lemons. If you’re gonna buy a Husqvarna save your money and buy commercial chainsaw. Awesome video buckin 👍
Been running a 572 for three years love it.
Don't forget to ask Donny about setting the auto tune carb when you first start it. It makes a big difference !
Good afternoon Buckin
hope you are having a great day and staying cool. Got may shirt and decals came today. Very high quality. Have a great weekend
Thank you for saying so friend. Most importantly, thx for the choice to be kind to me . It will be met with the same 😊
Bought my Husqvarna 572 XP back in 2019. I also doctor the chain to make it cut like I want. Great saw.
Hold it to the boards! But under load, its gas pressure that forces rings to seat. How do we create an environment that promotes this? RPM & load. The bearings will soften up with time.
XP-G!?!? Thank goodness. The big dog can keep those hands warm and pretty even in extreme cold! Look at those mitts. Coulda been a hand model! Keep it real Buckin’! Love your videos.
I have six chainsaws and I cut firewood from around my property to heat my home. I just picked up the 592xp, it's as little bit bigger and stronger than the one you have but not by much. I have to say it's the most dangerous saw I've ever used. I was doing the same thing, trying to cut 'smaller' logs using the tip with my foot on the log. I found it works better if you get down low and bring the log right up to the engine right by the teeth, much safer that way. Have fun and be careful!
I wish I still had my grandfather's 2-man McCulloch chainsaw. He was a wiry old guy who carried and ran it all by himself. He had his own woodlot where we'd go every fall to get the seasons firewood. We'd fell the trees with a Homelite and then he'd cut it all to length with his 2-man chainsaw while I loaded it into the trailer which had been made from the box end of a 1930's pick-up truck.
By far my favorite Buckin episode!
I do about 2 bushcord of hardwood a year. My 445 was a little too light for the heavy trunk cuts. I bought a Rancher 455 great for the trunk but a little too heavy for limbing/pruning. I think one needs 2 saws: light and heavy. Added bonus if one gets stuck you don't have to embarrassly ask to borrow the neighbours ha ha
Chains definitely cut better as you file and love my husky's been running them since the early 90's
I haven't cut wood in 20 years, last log was around a 36" foot fir, firewood, in the snow, bush.. I miss it a LOT! windfall, fell across an access road and it was cut and shoved off to the side, I got it out of the way and opened up the road more, got a few very nice chopping blocks for my efforts too, my little McCullough chain saw with a 32" blade, lol.. made quick work out of it tho, about 18 feet of it in a few hours, chopped and stacked in the truck, cord n half, old first growth burned so nice got me n' my dad thru a few winters in the cook stove .. miss it, dunno where any of my cut gear is? axes, had 10 or so, chain saws, sharpeners, wedges, everything, dunno what happened to any of it? pretty sure it all got jacked and left here and there, borrowed never returned, the saw it just ended up missing.. I believe the axes or most are at my cousins or buddies house? hale I dunno
Buckin,that’s a great saw you’re working with love your laughter ❤🪵👍🇨🇦😊
Good ta see ya todd
That’s an amazing machine. My little 455 Rancher works great for what I need at the moment, but when the kids move out and we downgrade our house size and upgrade our property, I might need to ask Santa for one of these.
They sing
Good to see buckin getting some perks from these companies, if anyone deserves it, its big buckin fs
Billy's grin after he started that saw was so damn genuine I couldn't help but giggle. I'm glad to know I'm not alone in how giddy I get when new tools arrive
I cant speak on the husky saws from ripsaw but I can speak on the 400c from ripsaw its an absolute animal for its size 67cc they did an a top tier build on it. Thank u 4 all u do brother.
My dad used to always prove to me how sharp his knives were by shaving a spot on his arm. I miss that thanks for reminding me
Love Husqvarna, what a nice saw. Great video Buckin
I’ve been eying a 572xp for a couple years now. My go to is a 550xp and that does 90% of what I need. But man the seventy two would be nice for the bigger stuff every now and then. I don’t saw enough to really need it… but… love the Chanel
I'm about 4-6 weeks out from getting my 372xp back from rip saw. I can't freaking wait.
Oh yeah buddy x tork?
The x-tork ruined the 372 hopefully it's the original, my first ever saw was original 372, now im 572 560 and the goat 390xp
One of our customers got a ported 572 from us and sent pics cutting 4'+ hard maple. That stuffs extremely hard cutting and he said the saw handled it awesome
Embrace how many people you teach with your knowledge, even if it's at the expense of sponsors, as long as they're honestly reviewed! send it man!
Love this guys attitude. Wish I knew people like him.
you will friend ,, teach them how to treat you ..with love
That 572xp is by far my favorite chainsaw ever! By far!
Nice
West coast guy here too and totally agree about the way it feels when you start chewing away. CHAWOO. Just skookum. Funny how all lumberjacks start to sound like those old appalachain mountain men lol
Nice to see a hucky. Keep her sharp what ever the brand and she will see you right. I love that chain to. 👍
Husqvarna is a great brand. Don’t have one of their chainsaws but do have zero turn mower from husky. Love it, you can’t go wrong with their equipment.
Uncle buckin.i have 61 hasqvarna saw and im running it for 3 years and power is still alive. 🎉
very good you must be good at it
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith 18 years of tree cutting .some tough trees .butt there is something about the setup to cutt a tree thats so awesome. Or its just me.
A super awesome piece of machinery Buckin’!! Can’t wait to see what it does with a pipe!! Wahoo!!
Me too
I swear there's a :-) in that big round that you were cutting on!
Great saw I hope it serves you well buckin
Purchased me a small MS194 along with a 14" bar yesterday. Cheers Buckn your inspiring dude
glad yer here friend
My favorite orange saws are 281/288XP and 395XP. Been considering experimenting w/ the 500 generation AutoTune saws, but have been reluctant. Hope to see more vids of you breaking in and using the 572 to get your honest take on whether migrating to the new stuff is really worth it.
We had to invent the wheel someday someway
Using 550xp since 2014 without any issues whatsoever. Just get one, you will see😊
why wood you migrate when you have both brother 😁
I have a 550 and 572 and love them.
thats a hell of a saw buckin. that knife is pretty wonderful too. very cool to hear your in depth thoughts on what makes a saw great. I still miss the old 10/10s sometimes but these things sure do rip and tear
they will always be here friend
Can't wait to see what you're gonna do with that saw buckin
Shes a ripper!! Nice work Ripsaw
Love it! Thank you!
And I love my 365, maybe one day I’ll turn it into a 72.
Coffee + Donuts + Buckin' Billy Ray video = Perfect Saturday Morning
I bought the 572xp about 8 months ago and it is by far my favorite of all I've owned, borrowed or ran. Next is the 550xp mk ii, then maybe the 592.
Try a JRed 2253 or 2260,
Same!!! Going same order as you! Except I've had my 572xp awhile.
Haven’t even watched a second of this video, but so excited! Can’t wait to see if you can come to terms with the 572!!!!
That Saw is super Sweet and I love watching you run it!
I hope Husqvarna will get my 562XP running correctly because I love running it too
I'm 60, been a firewood, logger and now 1 man tree service guy for about 30 years. Never been injured in any way ,but I've been VERY close to it. Most if my close calls are from limbing a felled large pine or fir walking through a jungle of BIG overhead limbs with a small limbing saw " after" letting off the gas and then grabbing a limb with one hand while lowering the saw down with the other hand while it's still spinning down and " zip " i cut my chaps or my hard plastic knee pads. Most close call come when I'm tired, sweaty and sore
MS 381 STIHL the best chainsaw i have ever owned, i used it over 10 years have only rebuild it once and still kicking down like a baby
I run a 572xp and 550xp mk2 and love them both, have modded the mufflers on both and it made a noticeable difference.
What muffler mod do you use on the 550 mkII?
@@TheGreatTed drilled a hole through the baffle pipe and enlarged the exit hole, nothing major but certainly made it flow better.
Love my 572xp and the 550xp… great out of the box saws… however… a tuned one like this is on another level… not many shops like Ripsaw in the UK though…
my buddy has a fella if ya like
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith in the UK? Who’s that please?
Found you from Essential Craftsman. I've been watching non stop since. Love your videos.
What did I win?
@@MikeChukplease beware of scammers pretending to be buckin in the comments! And welcome to the buckin army 🪖💪spread the love increase the peace!
✌️❤️🌲🪵🪓🐝
I have always for 20 years odd raved about the 372 and even a mate who runs stihls has a 372 husky raves about it , but I did get to demo a new 572 and wow its a machine, punters do yourself a favour buy a 572 . Thanks old mate ,love your videos , cheers from Australia
cheers to you
Cheers RIPSAW you've made my evening ✊💨💨💨
We had a Stihl 880 come through the shop last week. Impressive. Saws like these are beasts.
0:10 You are a wood wizard. Wow! Me and my battery powered harbor freight saw are in AWE! 😂
I'm a Stihl guy mostly because I have a dealer close by and the closest Husky dealer is more than an hour away. I have nothing against Husky, except I really don't like having the outboard clutch and the brake in the cover. I can access the needle bearings for inspection and greasing and change the sprocket on the Stihl's much easier than it is on the Husky's and even replacing the chain is easier.
That RipSaw 500i is a bucket list item for me.
Haha I love the way explain and enjoy the world of the chainsaw,,, you educate and make people smile at the same time,, your awesome love it 😂
Buckin’. The editing is getting pretty darn good my friend. Keep up the good work.
Stihl 462 is a worthy contender to that 572. Performs beautifully limbing or dogged in. From a size and weight perspective it has the 572 whipped (Stihl: 13.2 lbs, 72.2 cc's, 6bhp stock/ Husky 14.5lbs, 71cc's, 5.8hp). I remember you liked running it when you were down at your Pop's place. Ripsaw, let's get Buckin' a ported 462!!
The 461 was/is a better saw. Touch less HP than the 462 but noticeably more torque.
@@lukereynolds9907 He actually did like it when he ran it. In fact, at the time he said it was a problem for the 500i.
@@wednesdar452he was going off of sound, in my opinion.
The 462 will rev higher then the 500. If you have the same sprocket on and the 461 can reach maximum revs it will beat the 500. However if your cutting bigger logs with a longer bar the 500 will win. Both great saws. It is also possible to increase a tooth on the 500 with a shorter bar which will make it win every time. It was a trick some guys would use on 660-661s with shorter bars.
holy hell you've some balls billy that fall at the start was some precision work
I have a older 038 Magnum Stihl,made in Germany 72 or 73cc .One of the best Chainsaw i ever had,One of a kind.😊
Hey buckin really enjoying the videos. I have a 372 xp that has been used hard and not takin care of like needs to be. It was gifted to me by a good friend @ TC sawmills. I am wanting to send it to get “freshened up” and running RIGHT !!! It’s not an everyday saw but when I need it I need it, and not to mention I’m into hot rods and horsepower. Lol. I’ve heard you mention Iron Horse, Ripsaw, and one one other. I’m down here in south MS and trying to get a little sawmill business up and running.
the only recommendation I have is Ripsaw as a legitimate business , But dont believe their takin' used saws. everyone needs boards buddy good luck
I guarantee it Matt Mann. If anybody knows power saws it’s Buckin!!!! Love the channel
