reviews on husky 576xp

[tree man john]

thinking of buy the 576xp at capels celebration of trees what are anyone pros and cons they found with this saw?

[Neil Frost]

Not hijacking the thread, but I was thinking of doing the same at Capel.

 

Or I might just go all out for the 395xp!

 

Sorry, was a bit of a hijack.

Fantastic saw.

 

I borrowed one from a friend and took it out to fell some big chestnuts. Felled a fair few trees with it and i loved it. 24" bar on it which made it tip heavy but a 20" balances it up. Lots of power and the anti vibe is fantastic. Worth every

penny.

 

The 372 which the 576 replaces was a fantastic saw. The 576 had big boots to fill but managed to do it and do it very well.

But the 372 has not been replaced yet!

I thought the 576 was replaceing the 575?

Seems more likely to me.

The 575 was ment to replace the 372 but it wasn't as good so the 372 was still made. 576 has superseeded both. I think it's on its last legs now before they stop making it. The new 562xp will replace the 357.

I bought an Autotune version as a replacement for a Stihl 441- it was an absolutely fantastic saw until it was stolen with my other saws. I ran it with an 18in bar which is a brilliant combination to throw around, felt a little bit less clumsy than the 441. For the 4 months I had it, it was faultless

 

Current level of funds and an unwillingness to buy top of the range gear if it's going to disappear again has meant I've bought a 365 (farmer spec/ non xp) which is a good old fashioned robust growler, but I do miss the grunt and zing of the 576, which charged through everything!
