Mystery Husqvarna 5 Series Saw vs Stihl 5ooi - Woodlot Session

Hello.
The Husky was an unknown at this point. This video has a lot of dialog as a result.
The description has the timed run results and other pertinent info. HAVE A GANDER...
Thanks for watching.

the husky looks like 372. I'm probably wrong cause im only guessing, but it does have a body shape of 372.

I’m just a hobbyist but I love horsepower. I bought a 585 and immediately installed a 592 piston/cylinder. Stock squish because I didn’t want a it any harder to start and just smoothed out the exhaust port and the “lip” at the port opening blended out and I’m very happy with it. It’s great on fuel and the new stainless muffler sounds awesome stock, for what that’s worth. It really brings me joy. Just wish they did the captured nuts on the west coast clutch cover. Love the videos as always!

The assistant has that ole teenager spunk to him 😂

Awesome video Jack!! Hey I've sent you an email. I'm humbling hoping you will put your touch on my brand new Husky 572. I have it sitting at my house and will not put a bar on it until the master has blessed it. Will you please accept this opportunity?

Thanks for the info. That's pretty awesome you get to test out the new Husqvarna prototype 🤙 Have a great day!

Very cool.

It is Husqvarna 585 6.9 hp

Both good saws.

I think husky needs to rethink this saw,power is fine but the handle bar sucks and the the weight is not worth it. for the power to weigh ratio.Stihl nailed the power weight with the 500I .the handle bar is perfect ,the power to weight is sure nivce. I Bought a new Stihl 500I since my 441 blew up . A saw needs to have power balanced with weight..

Interesting review. Thanks for the heads up.

Stihl not doing too bad considering it's giving the Husky (592?) a 12cc (13% capacity) advantage. Here in Europe where the Stihl was developed and first introduced long bars and semi or full skip chains are rarer and 3/8th's 0.063'' full house chains are the norm. For us a 500I is often the next step up from a Stihl MS361/362 and often the biggest saw in the back of the truck.
However, we are seldom felling really large timber and when we get the chance we are more likely to create a front cut (mouth or gob as they are known colloquially) with a compound cut and fan cut the interior from the front rather than reach for a seldom used 90 class saw.
There are now a few mods for the Stihl anti-vibe but our legislation for H.A.V. (hand arm vibration) exposure times are regulated and fairly strictly enforced for on-the-books employees so the softer saw allows longer work durations.
Over here 500I's are generally offered for sale with 20 or 25'' bars and at today's exchange rate are sold at $1,500 US (taxes included) for the 25'' variant.
I hope these few words are somewhat informative for you.

I have a 592 and a 500 I’ll run the 500 with a 32 and take it everywhere absolutely love it after the suspension kit and max air filter kit it’s a animal it’s ported with a bark box . The 592 is stock with a muffler mod from Gordy at west cost that saw pulls a 36 nicely don’t know if I’ll ever put a 32 on it because it’s a beast with a 36 and full house chain square ground chain . My honest opinion the 592 in big wood with take the 500 all day it pulls for days great video jack thanks for sharing

👍👍👍

Hi Jack
Nice review my personal opinion on the Husqvarna 592 xp I’m a little disappointed with few things.
1st the filter that is a big failure compared to the old school 395 base doesn’t seal very well lit crap inside carb .
2nd factory felling dogs not a fan of compared to 395 are stronger.
3rd power of the 592 xp seems a bit strange I’m not used to compared to my 395 feels like has more down low torque whereas 592 is more of an top end screamer like you said it’s a smog saw ( EPA )
The 592 is a bit lighter than 395 not a big deal of difference for me.
I would probably sell my 592 before 395 which has proven be a reliable work saw over the years.

Hi Jack, well as we all know now it's a 592 XP and it should be pointed out I feel how much regard you are held in by the factory to have been involved in the real world testing and I should point out that although we "talk" quite often you kept it under wraps and not even a hint of the testing you were doing !
Now on to the saw and as several folk know I have the 585, 592 and a 500i ( prepared by you ) and have been running them for a goodly time. So much is made about the weight of the Husqvarna saws, 592 around 2lbs less than 395 585 slightly more than 390 but more power - the 500i the lightest 80cc saw although when you add in the very common WCS clutch cover etc it starts to creep up but still by far the lightest and the argument is I suppose is could Husqvarna have perhaps done more with the 585 (86cc) as it closest to the 500i in cc but they didn't and in fact it's 200g more than the 592. Just for the record the 592 a smidge lighter and smidge more powerful than 661 . As for how they run you only have to look below to see the differing views and that will always be the case, we all have differing styles of cutting, ground and timber type what I will say is the two saws shown here are at the top of there game and you'll make money with either !

Sthil should make a 600i 95cc fuel injection. I bet that would blow alot of stuff away

Can you still make the saw for me please buddy if u are not busy. I did email you this is tree man

I can email you again can you please give me your email address that was months and months ago that was when you were logging and I need to type in your name to find it in my email thank you so much

If it's a 590 it's 90cc's and the 500i is only 80cc's if they are both stock. That's why the Husqvarna is bigger. It's bigger.

16480 rpm under load and 25+k idle stroke. How it, wtf?!

G'day Hotsaws, I used to be able to pick the difference between a Huskie or a Stihl by the tone, they all sound like Stills to me these days.

The weigh not good might help putting a light bar on

How much would you spend for a used Ms440..
it's a second hand, fixed by a mechanic ** the admission pipe, the bar, and perhaps the filter cover have been replaced.
By the way the filter cover has a big [STIHL ] written on it.
i think it might have been a saw used by some logger. for some reason.
I noticed it makes a unusual sound , idle. i didn't tried the saw, just started the engine inside the shop.
Very noisy ,almost brutal at full throttle.
i can have it for 450 usd.
** the shop is full of used machineds coming from who knows where, . and typically the old man makes one machine with three..

A bit of a non sequitur but...on a midish to wildly ported saw @ 7000 to 9000 ft. elev. AutoTune/Mtronic or not?

I own both saws. There is much to like about both. I do have some complaints about the 500I though. If Stihl is going to sell these for what they do, why can't they put a decent air filter on them? Also, they should re rout the intake system so that it doesn't fill the filter full of debris. My other chief complaint is the mushy suspension system. Other than that it is a ripper. I really only use the 592 for big stuff. I keep a 36" bar on it and it pulls it like it is nothing.

God bless ..jack ..hope all is well....thanks

I think a saw that has a nice weight to it is well made then something that's lighter. but we all know that the new husky are build more solid then the newer Stihls.
