Husqvarna 592 xp

[Analog]

'Guilty of Treeson' has a recent video in northern California with some real loggers, they use and talk about the saw here. A little more serious saw uesers than most, used to running big modded saws.

Those guys were not kind to this saw, from the perspective of not really keeping an open mind it seemed. The vibe I get on lots of YT and IG "influencer" stuff is that if it's not a 661 or 500i dripping in West Coast Saw stuff, it's garbage.

I have a 572 and really like it. Will be getting the 592 next.

Most of the real world 592 users (not fake influencers) I know really like it. Husqvarna’s quality control issues not so much.

If anyone gets one and doesn't like it, I have a relatively fresh 395 that I would trade straight up. I bought it a little over a year ago and put maybe 30 hours on it, half felling, half cutting stumps.

There's also some saw comparisons and teardowns even on Hotsaws101 on YT. When doing these he even swaps bars/chains and runs a tach on the saws for some of the runs to try even things out.

I have gotten to use a 592xp. I was impressed with its performance. A friend of mine bought one and got about 2 hours out of it. Husky ended up eventually giving him another saw. The new one is so far so good.
