Stihl MS500i Fuel Injected Chainsaw v/s Husqvarna 572XP You'll love this!
What happens here
Introduce the Husqvarna 572 XP, which is the presenter's personal 'go-to' chainsaw, noting its heavier feel compared to the Stihl MS 500i. Fuel the saw using the Husqvarna combination can and ensure proper bar oil levels. To start, use the primer bulb (typically 4 pumps) and engage the choke lever. The presenter discusses how its on/off switch system is designed to be naturally pressed during kickback, which differs from Stihl's. Once started and warmed up, perform several test cuts on the log to evaluate its performance and compare its 'feel' and power to the Stihl models. He notes that this saw still 'screams' (achieves high RPMs) similar to the MS 500i.
Goal: Evaluate the cutting performance of the Husqvarna 572 XP
