576xp being replaced with 572XP . . . Latest generation auto tune

[Derf]

I tend to believe Westcoaster and others may be stress testing it and Husqvarna is just looking to see if/what problems creep up to troubleshoot them before they are put into mass market sale...more than hearsay from a dealer that heard the whole thing was sent back to re-engineer. Of course, anything is possible.

I heard the same thing from my local dealer, Husky learned from the 570 575 and 576 problems, to test the hell out of the saws for some years BEFORE releasing the new model. Also, if they don't NEED for emmisions, to eliminate the 390 yet, then you might as well take your time to come out with a real winner.

I believe all of you guys I was just passing along the news I heard from my husky dealer . the guy who spoke to butch said the 562 case and bearings were failing hence not out for sale yet. Yes this is just hear say . just info

This thread has been going for 3 years now and it seems the news hasn't changed. I was just told by my husqvarna dealer that they are testing right now on our west coast (Canada). They say the husky rep was just in and gave them that news. Seems like old news to me. But hey, if they've been testing it this long they must have the bugs worked out. I'm anxious to get one as soon as they are released.

What do you think, will the 572xp be released next week according to https://www.forestry.com/editorial/equipments/husqvarna-572xp-august-2017/

 

[mesupra]

Much awaited release for sure. I assume it's a 550/562 style 572. Hopefully they use the same tuning as on the 576. Out of the e 550/562/576 The 576 seem to hold up to the most abuse.

I am currently in the market for a saw, my 2260 and 562 having failed last week. But unless there is a weight advantage I will stick with my trusty 372 x-torq.

That is very true.

After having run a 576 a good deal I doubt anyone will feel that it's too heavy. It balances great with a 20 or 24"

How did the 562 fail?

I suspect it is crank seals. Fires right up but runs lean before quitting. I pulled the muffler off and the piston looks perfect. I also swapped the carb off my 2260, but it made no difference. I estimate the saw has at least 1200-1500 hours on it so I don't see me spending much money on it. Has been a problem free saw until this.

I will take it off your hands.

lol

No, I will probably take the head and piston and put on my 2260. Plus, if I get another 562 I will have plenty of parts.

 

[cary911]

It'll run fine ... just follow your heart.

 

[cary911]

Or just use a one saw plan.... fixed, done.

It was only ofically confirmed this morning it was going to be the 572 they would release. And release now not a reveal.

The title of the thread definitely got it right way back Nov '13

1.1 lb more weight than 372
It's like the 262 362. They didn't transfer.
The 262 357 match up.

I guess I won't stay up late on the 16th with a 21, 372 saw saute.

There will be no "changing of the gaurd"

The 372 will instead get an honorable discharge from service next year and won't be replaced
I will crush one of my timed out 372 saws in a big underCut. In honour of 22 years service

371/ 372
