The 572 may very well be awesome. But nobody trusts a "5" series saw, so the 372 still exists in order to maintain some market share.

If you have some credible info it would be great if you would share it. Otherwise the snide little comments just make you sound like a Karen.I wouldn't be too sure about that.
OMG dying laughing after reading the examples given in that link.
So, I take it you have not worked on any boxy, neglected, dirty as crap saws people never maintained. Grab a 572 and go cutting for days, that air filter will probably still be clean.If only to maintain a saw "look" that I like, as opposed to the new-ish, zooty look with all nooks and crannys and swoops and swooshes. I've always liked boxy smooth saws that don't hold dirt and debris in a million nooks and crannys.

I understand you now. I myself like Auto-tune, better av mounts, better air filtration, better bearing, improved parts. Have owned many 262xp's and they all needed cleaning after a days cutting. Everyone has opinions and I am not buying what you are selling. Carry on.My 1986 and 1987 jonny 590's stay clean for a long time too...my 1990 262xp not bad either.
Some of my modern saws are far worse in that regard.
Ps, i only work on my own saws. I buy good runners and keep them running. I only have a few.
There has been no improvement in saws, other than perhaps antivibe. And that only in some cases.
I understand you, plastic in the bearing cage was a dumb penny pinching exercise,I have a 5 year old Husqvarna 550xp. Worked fine until the Crank Seal went and I discovered the damn thing is designed/manufactured with a plastic Crankshaft Bearing. WTF... pretty much a write-off considering the cost to rebuild it.
I have read on many web sites that this has been an issue with this model of saw and it doesn't look like Husqvarna gives a damn....unless it is under their pathetic warranty.
Has any one ever heard of a class-action lawsuit against the makers of this garbage? If so, let me know.
Lost all faith in husqvarna, can't convince myself to buy a saw with plastic crank bearings. They are basically selling cheap knock-off Chinese garbage and asking premium price for it.
Time for Husqvarna to clean house and send those phoney engineers packing...who the heck expects a plastic bearing to last in a chainsaw!!!
Class-action is the only way they will clean up their mess!!
I wouldnt like it if Husqvarna were building anything critical, with their attitude toFor the most part I agree. Yes the first 5 series saws had big problems, and did so from day one! That's normally how it goes if something is really wrong. The latest saws are doing near perfect, far as I can tell, especially the 572. The 572 has been around for a few years now, If it had a major design problem we would know by now. Haven't heard of any issues with the 550 MK-II, but it's only been around a bit over a year, so time will tell, but it's looking good. Yes the saws are heavier, but I see that as a trade off for improved durability, the 572 is stout! the bottom end is that of 90cc saws, that is where the weight comes from.
A-lot of this type of stuff occurs on forums, guys trash this or that even though they really don't know, others are fanboys, and so and so can do no wrong. The facts are always somewhere in the middle. God knows I've been outspoken about the 550 and 562.
As far as I know, only a percentage of saws with higher emissionsThe 572 must be awesome. That's why the 372 is still around..
