I'll start by saying that I own gas power tools from various manufacturers -- Husqvarna, Stihl, Echo, etc. I've owned Fords, Chevy's, Hondas, Toyotas, Subuarus, etc. I consider myself to be brand "open" and not brand "blind". So, I went over to the local Stihl dealer to buy a new FC 111...

In another thread (https://www.arboristsite.com/threads/550xp-mark-2-572-fuel-mixture-with-pipe.369043/#post-8059189) there was a post that mentioned a product called "Frogz Skins". The post showed how member SquareGround3691 installed a Frogz Skin vent in a newer Husqvarna saw filter box. I'm...

After culling the Husqvarna herd down to just 2 saws (592XP and 372XP) I realized that I need a small saw -- preferably a top-handle saw. Well, I just bought an Echo CS-355T. The Swedish saws aren't happy, but they'll have to learn to play nice. The Echo is nimble, light, and really screams...

We burn a LOT of firewood at the Quest ranch, so I've always got my eye out for a potential "score" on good firewood. A long-time friend told me about a HUGE pile of scrap dimension hardwood. Mostly 2X4 and some 4X4. This stuff is truly 2X4 & 4X4 and not 1/2 inch smaller like today's KD...

There is a local dude that has been trying to sell his saw for months now. I see a new advert almost weekly for the same saw. The advert reads: "Near mint oem husqvarna 372xpw chainsaw. Comes with new 20 inch light weight bar and chain , tool kit, manuals, bar cover $1,190 or both 20 and 28...

I just bought one. Pretty good deal. https://classifieds.ksl.com/listing/66854702

This Oregon Power Match Plus guide-bar is new -- as it has never been run. Any slight marks are from being in my guide-bar stash. The paint is not worn off the rails. This is a Husqvarna small mount bar pattern. This is a 3/8" (.375") pitch and NOT a .325" pitch as is common on the small...

Husky 390XP with full-wrap handlebar. very few tanks of fuel run through this saw. The saw looks and performs like new. It is not yet fully broken in! No problems or issues with saw. Muffler mod - 2nd exhaust port with spark screen. See pictures. Only synthetic oil and non-ethanol gas at 40:1...

I’m trying to determine “asking price” for a Husky 390XP with full-wrap handle. Almost new. 7 tanks of fuel through saw. Piston/rings/cylinder are perfect. Case is very close to new condition. Muff-mod with 2nd outlet port and spark screen (Looks factory). This saw is $1,299 MSRP. Is $900...

I hate playing the waiting game. I spoke to 3 different Husqvarna dealers about the 592XP. I would buy one today if only I could find one. None of the dealers that I spoke with have any firm idea when the saw will be available. All 3 stated that they have several 592XPs "on order". Damn...

Does anybody have real-life experience running a Husky 592XP yet? Are they available for purchase in the USA yet? JQ

I‘m thinning the herd. In the corral I have 3 saws remaining: 390XPW 372XPW (X-torq) (2020) 562XP (2018) When the dust settle, I believe I will end up with a 2-saw setup. I’m fairly certain that I will be keeping the 390 so I’m trying to decide which of the smaller saws to sell. Both saws...

It's time to thin the herd. I've got 4 saws and I want to get down to 1 or 2. So, my little Husky 353 is for sale. I'm the original owner. This saw started out as an E-Tech, but that only lasted a week before I put in a new OEM non "cat" muffler with "mod". This little saw is a strong...

I'm looking for real-life empirical data showing the relationship between oil mix ratios and cylinder head temperatures. We've all heard statements like: more oil in the mix means less fuel -- so the air/fuel mixture is leaner and that makes more heat". Or: "I run 32:1 oil to provide more...

[Edit...after posting, I realized that I made an error in the title. I don't know how to edit the title. It should read: 562XP and not 572XP] I found a local advert for a "like new" Husqvarna 562XP with an asking price of $400. I went to look at the saw and took my compression tester. The...

There are 3 Husqvarna saws in the Jonny Quest stable: 353, 372XP & 390XP. The 372XP is fairly new and only 10 tanks of fuel through it. The 390XP has low hours on it with only 25 tanks of fuel through it. On the 372, I like to run 20" to 24" bars. The 390 wears 24" up through 32" bars. On...

Has anyone done a head-to-head "real world" cutting comparison test between the two saws? I would be interested in how the XP cuts as compared to the OE. Bone stock -- no mods. Same bar, same chain, etc. I am also curious to see which model lasts longer. The "which one lasts longer" is a...

This old chainsaw is for sale in my area. Anybody know history on this brand? https://classifieds.ksl.com/listing/65034655

I just rebuilt the carby on my Husky 353. The saw is a 2006 model year. I have a saw tachometer I use to tune. I will set the idle speed to 2,700 RPM and then adjust the low-speed circuit. No worries there. High-speed circuit -- I don't know the proper RPM number for adjusting the...

Another thread (do I need a new saw?) got me thinking...dangerous, I know, I know. I have a 2005 model year 353. The ID tag says 967 07 56-00. 05 0900XXX. It's an "EPA" model but the EPA cat muffler was removed and replaced with a non-EPA muff. Muff has also been modded with an additional...
