Looking forward to this new saw. Looks like the focused on durability/reliability. Good move. At the end of all the online discussions thats what is required to get a good return on investment.
I'm a little disappointed that they didn't make it more unique, it's just a bigger 562. But still the improvements are always nice to see, and with how much they've invested in this saw I have no doubts that it will be reliable. I will be buying one sometime whenever it hits the BC market, although 372's might become a lot cheaper since they will want to phase them out, so buying a handle full of those might be too hard to resist. My dad owns a 562 and it's a wicked little machine, so in the end I'm stoked about the 572. I want to see how it compares to my MM 372 XT with the 32" bar buried.

funny but that would be inconclusive.Put the 572xp in the hands of 10 novice and see what holds up. Now that would be a good extreme condition.
Absolutely! We all have a say. The wider the range of experienced, the more that will likely be said.This thread makes me chuckle. Are we really passing judgement on the testing of a saw that hasn't even been released?
Is this chainsaw available in Europe? Does anyone know if I can order one? Would like to get one with the wrap handle bar if they are out. Or is it just the ms462 that is out in other markets and not in North America?
Trying to get one for John. Local shop guy.://www.forestry.com/contact
You can phone the owners in Sweden of Forestry.com as well sign up and go in their forums. Their editorial has not been updated for 3 weeks or so. They personally were able to buy a pre release saw at the August 17 reveal convention and have done some testing that is on the site. Austria, Poland & Switzerland may have the saw in stores now.
They are the three Countries that are getting it this month. Not in Scandinavia yet either.
They are at a 10h time difference from PST. I'd price those three Countries. You getting it for a Faller Dave? Who does the specialty work?... Simon? .Diek?..or one of the shops...lol
Have a nice day
I would even settle for the so-so sawThis saw and the New MS462. My prediction is one manufacturer will get it right and one will be so so.
I have no idea.
I have had to go on was the early advice of "You never buy a new model saw...give it a year or two".
Companies have an opportunity now in today's market to change that attitude but in my opinion they failed miserably.
See.. and that's the attitude they now have a chance to change but wasn't very convincing.Maybe it will be a better choice than a 372. Doubtful. Especially right out of the gate.
The track record of new releases has been dismal at best over the last many years. They are only chainsaws. You'd think they would get it right.
What the last bunch of years has done is made any sawhand very skeptical of any new saw.
In my world the Huskies have been far worse than the Stihls. That's why the entire industry has swung from Husky to Stihl.
Pretty sad really.
Maybe this saw will start a trend back from Stihl. Not that I care. I would just like to see reliable working saws being made again.
