Nice addition to 550 the 572xp

[Kay 9]

 Took delivery of a new 572xp this evening. 

Got a good deal on the ciber Monday. How are they running for you all? 

Any problems etc? 

Got it with a 24" husqy bar and stihl chain and 20" sugi bar with the new husqy chain.

Looking forward to trying it tomorrow. Nice saw to handle for a 70cc. Feels lighter than it is. 

Well pleased.

The only problem I have heard about is maybe a slightly fragile clutch cover .....?

Funnily enough as I fitted the b&c I thought it was on the light side but I hope it's tougher than it looks.

Are they known to crack or break I wonder?

Have heard a few people saying that they cracked .  I think that a 372 or 390 cover fits though . Think they are a little bit more robust .

That's good to know that the other covers will fit. 

Tbh the 550 does most of my work but was waiting for this saw to come out for a while. When I seen it on sale I jumped on it. 

Be nice for the bigger stuff

The cover has been strengthened due to breakages.

Have a 550 xpg mark 2 and after i crashed my 562 bought a 572 xpg , but liked my ported 562 xp more becuase the weight.

Had my 572 for almost two years with a 28" most of the time and it's got a lot of work under it's belt now with no problems. I also run a 500i and prefer the 572 for felling it has a better "feel" to it for my work. Put the C 85 chain on and you will do a lot of work very easily !

I have had a 572xp over 2 years hasn't missed a beat! like out in the woods said 5001 lovely saw but just doesn't have the feel of quality like the the 572

Great saw but worst guide bar ever, techlite 20 inch pitted and flaking after very little work
