    It sounds to me like a crank case leak. Either a crank seal or crank case gasket. To check for a leak old school. Start the saw, run it for 30 seconds, then submerge the power head in water. If it's a crank case leak, there will be bubbles exiting the leak area. Good luck

    I run a 592 as well. I haven’t had any issues starting it in the cold, except when I was running my buddies gas. He uses Stihl ultra oil and my saws ran horribly on that stuff. Even worse, it auto tuned itself for that garbage so when I switched back to my VP oil it took half a tank before auto tuning back.
    (Only problem I’ve had with my 592 is one of the bar posts fell into the oil tank - I don’t think it was properly seated at the company. )
    You know, it’s one thing to roll a guys machine over. It’s another thing to not tell him about it. What a ridiculous experience. Sorry that happened to you.

    I now this video is 10 months old. since the 592 is a auto tune you would need to take it to your dealer and have them reprogram the low side of the carb a little richer. because of the EPA stock they are to lean causing pulling them 10-13 times to fire.

    I`m glad that there`s not any serius damage to the skidder. It`s almost unbelievable to tip that machine over on a flat ground...I think that happened because the operater tried to pull the log at the bad angle...Anyway - i have a friend, he owns a small logging company, he owns a LKT skidder, he has to deal with that kind of stuff all the time : last year the guy that worked for him tipped the skidder over in the forest while the other guy was filming him for facebook - he was dragging too heavy load with the skidder`s front end up in the air, making the spectacle...it flipped over, did some heavy damage to the haul and the engine, the guy broke his shoulder...total negligence...it`s hard to find good help these days - no one wants to work any more, everyone wants to be famous on the internet...🤣

    With these new auto tune saws you have to use the purge bulb every single start on them when the saw is cold. My 572XP is the same way. The dealer told me to use the purge . Press 6-7 full times. Now it starts in 3pulls every time.

      Also wanted to add, another guy I cut with sometimes, also has a 592XP, both saws purchased same place, same time, plus I have recently purchased a second 592xp, they all sound and operate completely different. My first 592, had 2 mufflers fail. I love the 592’s, I think the finer details have slipped a bit. A saw can have space age technology and and nice flash shiny appearance, but when I buy a Pro saw, I want reliability and longevity. I think that’s where Husky have slipped a bit imo.

      He would cut one tree well then bust the next one. I’m not sure if he was good or just sometimes lucky. I’ll I know is he won’t be back on my job. Not because he rolled a skidder, but because he wasn’t honest about what happened on this job site. As far as buying timber it depends on the landowner. If you have good timber then I’m gonna do what it takes to get it bought.

    Tuning IS your Key to Easy Starts on your saw. I tune for running performance and when you get that right and your fuel system is clean and adjusted for ALL proper specs that saw will start easy, part of it is knowing what combo of choke adjustment to and "signs" the engine gives such as a Pop after 2 pulls comp. release On and push choke down to 1/2 or 1/4 Quickly and 3rd pull you are running and 1 pull the rest of the day. More than 3 pulls to cold start then ya may need tuning.

    My first question is how much are you paying a crew per thousand? If you want good help you gotta pay. I know mills by me that only pay $150 a thousand even if you have your own skidder. Factor in fuel, payments, weather, the fact that it's the most dangerous job in the world and no healthcare and you could get a better and MUCH easier job working for your local contractor with full benefits. The problem with production cutting is that something MUST be sacrificed. Either quality of job, production itself or pay.

    • @Good.Fellers
      @Good.Fellers  Год назад +1

      We cut veneer, pay a good salary. Production crews are all but dead. The production cutters I know of are more of a problem then a solution.

    • @mattdillon4398
      @mattdillon4398 Год назад +1

      @@Good.Fellers I would disagree. Production crews are the heart of logging and the vast majority of ALL timber is cut by them. They are far from dead. ALL mills and foresters hire production crews. It's the only way. Unless you buy timber and you cut it yourself it is being cut by a production crew. This is why they are a problem, if you pay them by the hour they have no incentive to get a lot done. If you pay them by the thousand (which the vast majority are) then quality of job is sacrificed. I buy and cut myself for this reason. Mills can often pay more for standing timber because of this and scale overrun but some landowners want quality and forest management over price. These are the people I work for.

    I have a 450 rancher that used to be like that. Pull and ppull, and pull, and it'd start and cut immediately until it was warmed up and then it was a single pull start all day long. Then one day I watched a video about chain tensioning and I realised that when my chain was hot I was tensioning it up to take up the slack and then leaving it tensioned when I put it away thinking it would be set for the next time I needed it. Big mistake! I started undoing the bar nut as soon as I was done with the saw and leaving it loose while stored and then starting it for the first time loose before warming it up and dialing in the tension. As soon as I started this habit, I noticed that it started in the cold a lot easier!

    Unfortunately, Husqvarna is the hardest starting chainsaw in the industry. I had a 562 xp, T540xp and 3120xp they were all extremely cold blooded from a cold start. So instead of using Husky, I switched over everything to using Stihl. I find using Stihl as a brand is a lot easier to use and start. Echo just has no top end power for pulling through big rounds or timber.

      I totally disagree. I have owned 15-20 395s, a 3120 and 2 592s and I’ve only had trouble starting 1 592 which I fixed. Some Ported saws all seam to start hard.

      You talk a lot without saying much. I’m not sure where you’re at in the world but there aren’t Quality American men beating down anyone’s door for work. In this day and age you’re lucky to hire a person at all. So to answer your question beggars can’t be choosers when it comes to pay. Also a carpenter is a dime a dozen until you need to do quality work.
      Don’t give me this wage bullshit either, I can pay as much as anyone for quality work. Now you tell me where hell you’re gonna find a good timber cutter to cut hardwoods that’s reliable.
