My experience with the 572XP and MS462

All, I'm new here and found the site via Google search.  I've been dealing with saws my whole life, but recently have gotten into them more heavily.  I cut weekly and do most of my cutting from October - March.  I live in Greece, so it's better to avoid fire danger that seems to be highly prevalent during summer months.  

 

I am originally from the US, but have lived the better part of my life as an expatriate in Europe.  I met my wife while working abroad and we decided to live permanently in Greece.  

 

On to the saws.  Recently I have been helping folks to acquire these saws that are not offered them yet in the geographic locations.  I have operated both saws and can give honest general feedback about their characteristics, if anyone is curious or is trying to decide which saw to purchase.  

 

First, some of my photos.

The 572 while similar in description, is quite different in person.  As you can see from the pics, it comes with the flocked high density air filter.  It has an all metal flywheel and shares the clutch cover design with several other of Husky's saws.  

Well, at least you can put other clutch covers on this saw to be able to use, for example, 395 felling spikes.  You would lost hte captive bar nuts, but if you need the big spikes it's a trade-off.

are you sure about that? Not sure if it would actually fit, or even why you would do that. You can order a set of more aggressive dawgs for the 572xp, there was one in the display area at the apf with them and a full wrap handle on it.

Yes.  I'm sure about it.  I've ordered the felling spikes, and currently in the EU, there isn't the HD felling spikes.  

 

I'm just saying some of the other covers are interchangeable.
