New Husqvarna 570 cutting big Cottonwood pics

[expy]

New saw on it's first job. I know the 570 gets lukewarm reviews but it worked well today as my first medium sized saw on my first larger tree. 28" bar vs. a 48" plus Cottonwood (at the base).

Great job.. I have wondered about the 570 myself.. There was a redmax rebadged 570 that was reasonable on feebay.. I think its just a matter of it being the same weight as a 575 without the extra hp..

Nice pics. That tree is a monster. It surely gave your new saw a workout.

Looks like the saw handled everything you threw at it. Hoping to push my new rebuilt 394xp into some oak that size that is down in our creek bottom from the winter storms we had come through a few years back. Should be nice and dry now, I plunge cut into it before this winter and it was all still solid.

Nice work there! I like my 570 just fine!
What dawgs you got on there?

Thanks all, those rounds gave me a workout rolling them up the ramp (as you can see in the pics I started cutting them thinner :msp_biggrin . chrisoppie I ordered those dawgs from Baileys. They do help in the deep bark of a Cottonwood.

By the way... How she do with the 28"? I have it in mind to get a 28" for mine when the job presents it's self. Oaks and maples are the common trees here so I think the skip tooth is the ticket there.

I will post a video tonight in this thread of it cutting with the 28" buried but remember this is Cottonwood which I think is on the softer side. Oak could be a different story with a 28". I have limited experience with this saw and bar combo but this one job paid for my new 570 and my new 346xp! (with my 455 Rancher as a trade)

346 + 570 is a good combo, check my sig

I like them Dawgs!
I put the Heavy Duty High top cover and filter on mine and retuned it.
Better performance with those long WOT cuts.

Chain is new with 5-6 cuts on it. Does the saw sound like its running lean? Its adjusted to the tab stop.

Ya got a video of you loading up the stump??:msp_smile: That must have been a job.

Nice saws too. I just love my 346,,,the more I use it, the more I like it!

Thanks All, it was an experience to say the least. No video of the stump being loaded but you can see my Expedition, in front of my Dads Nissan, pulling the stump on to the trailer (Dads idea and a great one at that). I'm just a 1 man crew with 3 saws, a Ford Expedition and Dad's two trailers but I'm starting to get enough Tree Removal work to justify more saws........................

Chains?

With all of the dirt on that stump did you spend more time sharpening chains than cutting<

I think this is the set I bought. They worked well.
