Husqvarna 576xpg or 372xp

[BP75]

I use my saws solely for my own firewood harvesting and currently have a Husky 550xpg on a 15" bar as my felling saw and a 254xp on a 18" bar as my ground saw.

Both run on Aspen and are more than capable of everything I ask of them.

My 254xp is starting to show its age and can sometimes take a little more coaxing to start than I am happy with.

I am looking to replace it with either a 576xpg or 372 either of which with a 20" bar.

Appreciate that I am looking at professional level saws but I like quality kit and am firmly a Husqvarna fan.

Is there a Husqvarna option I'm missing?

576xpg is my first choice at the moment!

 

Cheers

Get the 254 sorted and get a good early model 372 then get it ported& serviced. You won't regret it

Look at a 346 xp.

Still sell new ones in france

I've just had a full rebuild on mine and it had done little .. if you can wait the new 572 looks good with its over sized bearings and I bet is a screamer... never got on with the 372 I had either and sold it but I'll give the 576 it's dues when it comes to smoothness.. you could buy one and it be fine but it has been the only auto tune husky I've owned to give me grief .

576 is a great saw. Ours never misses a beat on a 25"

if you can hang on for a 572 in the new year then I would, it's a cracking saw really quick in the cut and very smooth. I would go as far to say it's the best saw I've ever used actually!

Thanks for the replies and advice. Liking the idea of a 572, looks like a cracker.
If my 254 doesn't respond to some basic tinkering I'll be sending it on its merry way to be reincarnated with Spud[emoji106]
