Can you offer a "special edition" 25 and 50 dollar stickers or coffee mugs? I don't need more hats and t-shirts. A 50 dollar tiny hardhat sticker? I'd rock a GOT sticker on my lid. Might help with the saw reviews for those of us trying not to accumulate more junk.
I sell stickers for $4, what if you just bought 13 of those? Would you prefer 1 $50 sticker? I see what you’re saying it makes sense
Okay I made a $50 sticker if you prefer that. It's on my site now
@@GuiltyofTreeson Sweet! I may have just ordered the first 50 dollar sticker ever. That is going to be one kick butt sticker!!
Haha same here!
Now I need to figure out what to put it on when it shows up!
@@GuiltyofTreeson Proud to own my first ported chainsaw thanks to your videos mate as of 2 weeks ago. 201 and love it, looking forward to my $50 sticker! respect to all your videos experience and all you do. Have recommended your videos to alot of my friends and family, and im now hand filing like a pro, the guide and gullet trick works!
All these guys on youtube act like they know every little thing. It was nice seeing someone actually keep in footage of them learning from an OG. Thats how you make more OG's in any trade. Your doing great work. Keep it up.
Earlier this year I went to a dealer to get a new saw for logging. My company pays for whatever I want, so I could pick up anything from any shelf. The dealer, who is one of the largest in Denmark, was lucky enough to have 592's in stock, and I really like husky. It came down between the 592 and the Stihl 500i. Their prices was almost identical. Tried them both, and went with the 592. I can see why a ported version of the 500i is hard to compare with stock saws, but I'm currently logging large oak and beech together with a colleague, who runs a stock 500i, and compared with that, my 592 is just on another level. (Stock). It weighs a bit more, but I don't have to refuel as often as him. And often I can hear his saw really running heavy and working hard, while my saw, in the same size wood, just rips and almost can't be pushed hard enough. I just can't slow it down. But thats just my opinion, tried em both, went with the 592, loving every moment of work.
yea 500i are all hype....I have both saws you mentioned
wonder how the injection system works over a years work on the 500i. are they problematic? Pump life for injector? I could see those parts being expensive if you had to replace
I'm looking at buying a 592, im just a dumb recreational tree faller, mainly do it for management and firewood but we cut down a lot of huge oaks and my 288 just isn't reliable enough anymore.
@@alexryherd9810 I had a 288 when I logged way back when….I loved it with a 404 skiptooth!
@@jimhofoss9982 I love it but it's a hard starting sob, also rebuilt it last winter and it sometimes hot stalls, cant find a leak sucking air or loosing compression. I'm gonna buy a new husky and take my time and do that old 288xp justice with a better rebuild
5:40
And THAT, boys and girls, is why you don't hang around the stump when you are falling trees
Or clear the debris beforehand if you think you need to stick with it for a bit
I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.
Jake, I regret that I’m a bit late posting this. You are to be lauded for having the guts to make the leap into independence!! While I’m not a member of the arborist profession, I’m a huge fan of your videos. Your obvious love of what you do is SO infectious. Who knows, if I was just a few decades younger (!) you just might have inspired me getting into it. Keep up the awesome work and I’m confident you will have trees all over joining the witness protection program. But seriously, thanks for sharing your love of your work with us and keep them coming.
Jim
I use a stubby bar wrench for the wrap handle on my 372. Fits between the cover and handle
Buy a Stihl and you have to buy an aftermarket air filter which will still plug all the time. the Stihl caps allow more debris in than the Husky's. Having the tensioner on the cover is also a better idea as it would be more accessible to replace if needed. The cases are a bit heavier duty on the Husky as well.
Bryce didn’t seem too interested in the safety questions 😂. Great video!
I have a 500i ordered but walked into my local husky shop this morning to pick up a few things and saw one of these on the shelf with a 32” light bar. Picked it up and checked it out for awhile, seriously thinking about making the purchase ! The Saw felt great and the numbers impressive 🤘🏻
Just picked up one of your stickers and a mug! Thanks for highlighting tree service work! Blessings to you and the family!
Thanks for the review. I have the 592 ordered and can't wait to get it. I absolutely love your channel. Keep us the great work!
The new caps are fantastic! I also replaced the caps on my 15 year old husqvvarna 359 and the fit perfect so they should work on most older saws also! Great video!
I don’t mind the present Husky caps and they’re a damn side better than the present Stihl caps. But again, why did they bother to redesign the caps, never had a problem with old caps.
That’s the biggest difference for me between Stihl and Husqvarna is the filtration. I absolutely hate the Stihl filtration because they get dirty constantly. I have to clean the Stihl filter often and the Husky almost never. Husky has figured out how to spin the dirt out of the air charge before the filter sees it.
That’s why you run Max Flows or velocity stacks
@@AlanTeed
Right that improves filtration for sure but to my point the Husky spins the dirt out through its intake design BEFORE it gets to the filter. This is what I like about the husky filters, they don’t even get dirty. I’m speaking from east coast perspective, I know the barks on the west coast can be very dusty or fire damaged.
@@jdatwood7086 West coast is quite different, both brands seem to plug up, especially in thick fir bark or burn wood.
@@RI-td3gv
I bet! That’s a very harsh environment for anything. Here we mostly just end up with sawdust in the filters and the Husky’s essentially collect zero.
Which Stihl model or models are doing this for you?
Loved how you talked with the kids, that's awesome
Interview with the kid was priceless ! Great Video! Learned some more and cool equipment for sure . 👍
Love the channel man! Recently got into tree work and can’t wait to get my hands on a 592xp and older 372 right now running two 572xp. Anyways great videos great advice and great job!
I can’t wait to get a set of 3 point felling dogs for
for my Husqvarna 592 xp they look great.
Gordy from west coast saws did a great job.👏👏
The factory dogs are flimsy junk I can’t believe Husqvarna would put something like that on a big saw.
Always like watching you guys dropping trees I learn something new every time great video 👍👍
And that little boy was great that's our future amazing I wish more kids were like him these days it's the parents too God bless everybody stay safe
Fun times in the woods. Loved Bryce, little man was ready!
Great video!!!! I like the direction you have taken with your channel...very impressive. Keep up the good work
Yes I'm from the east...but I don't hold with what the others you referred too! You guys have made some great vids with the redwood guys ! Hats off to you! I am retired from removing trees ...I do miss it mostly because this type of work was the most satisfying! Thanks for sharing!
I' ve got Husqvarna 262xp, Husqvarna 372xtorq brand new ,oleo-mac 971 and I bought the Husqvarna 592xp! All the best mate!👍👍👍
Stihl guys always bashed the Husky saws because of the purge bulb. Now that their flagship saw has one that’s ok though.
Wh anyone would bash Huskies is beyond me, they are better than Stihl, cheaper too.
I was wondering if something had changed on your channel and lo and behold you decided to go out on your own! Congratulations and like many others have said it has made your channel very interesting. As I watch this video with you and Gord I couldn’t think of a better way to sit back enjoy a hot coffee and watch two great guys doing what they love doing. Got a kick out the logger explaining how to add that cut so the wood doesn’t tear. Looking forward to watching your journey. Happy New Year
i love these videos so much they are great so cool to see you cut the big ones down! i think my favorite videos are the ones like this great job Jacob
Glad to see you out in the woods!
That’s pretty neat about bucking a redwood and using that little cut up top. I’d love that saw 🤤
Man! Great interview Bryce. lil dude loving chainsaws is a very cool thing to see these days! love your saw Bryce!
Perfect combo, Treeson with 592. Feels like ages waiting for this Video
Appreciate the review! Having a 3120, 395, 288 in the fleet I’d be curious to try the 592. Being a husky guy myself and recently picking up a Stihl i can say they’re both decent. The biggest thing I hate about Stihl is the deep inset fuel and oil cap. I find when fueling so much dirt and dust gets flushed into the tanks where as the husky’s don’t with the shallow caps. Just my 2 cents
Keep the gas caps covered with a piece of duct tape
We have pretty much all the 500 series Husqvarna at work and most the newer stihl saws 500, 462, 400 etc. My personal saws include the 288 I got brand new from overseas and a 395 and honestly I wouldn't give up my 395 for any of the newer ones. The 592 is a sweet saw it makes good torque and revs crazy high but it never feels like it's running in the power band to me either your in softwood or medium stuff and it just wants to 4 stroke like crazy or sit at 10k rpm which is fine I guess in that kinda stuff it's gonna rip still obviously is a huge saw and then in big wood it wants to drop super low out of the power band which is around 7-8k rpm. You can work with the chain and get it doing decent but next to my 395 there isn't much comparison running a 42 on my 395 I can pretty much lay on the saw and it just pulls harder in small stuff or softwood it might be a little behind the 592 but I don't really use a saw as big as a 395/592 unless I'm in some crazy stuff and in those times just seems better to have a saw you can load super heavy without losing most the torque. Also the 592 don't seem to oil anywhere near as well as the 395 we put new bars on the work saws and i put one on my 395 at the same time and the 592 had just smoked the bar within the first month. I mean it was a stihl light bar so it's still fine just knock off the lip made on rails due to heat but my 395 hasn't overheated the bar once even in nasty stumps. Overall I do think the 592 is still a great saw and for the most part you aren't gonna have anything one saw can do the other can't but the 395 just seems to do it all a little better while being cheaper and easier to fix.
I have its younger brother, the 585. Awesome saw with a 36” bar. I did put a wraparound handle on it, and it really makes a huge difference. Most of the East coast folks don’t use them. I’m not a logger or timber guy, I just love saws and enjoy cutting trees. I am waiting on a decent hurricane to came our way and really put this bad boy into action. There’s a 395 at my local shop that I have been looking at pretty hard but he told me he would get me a good price for a 592. Decisions decisions! Much love to all from North Carolina. Be careful out there guys 🤙🤙
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! Watch them all every time you put one out.
Thank you 🙏 😊
great logging vid with you , Anton & Gordy. nice saw review too
Great job Jacob!! You caught on quickly. Now we can call you Logger Jake.
I grew up running every Homelite, McCullough, saw there was, even the huge ones. Then Husky 2100 came out and to have that speed and lightness and anti-vibe was a whole new world. Run Poulans, Partners, Pioneers, too. And yes Stihl but I always think that Husky is the funnest to run all the time-
Love the little man's modified saw. Awesome.
Great cameo appearance from the kids! Plus a good fair evaluation of the saw. I have both brands of saws and each has their strong points. One thing you didn’t bring up is the 592 is a epa saw and has non adjustable carb, and I believe auto tune . They run lean and hotter than adjustable carb saw’s like the 395 xp. Just have to let them cool down longer like my 661 mag.
Thanks for the review and all the tree videos! It’ll be a great saw for someone. Make sure you sign it and put a sticker on it 👍
Saw is sweet. Thanks for honest review. Bought 2 hoodies thanks! Saw would majorly help me around my property and my folks. Not been able to financially drop 1000+ on a good saw as badly as I would want to. Hope to win. Looking forward to future videos.
Love both brands! Well build saws!
Ford vs Chevy is a great comment on saws. I've talked to fellers and arborists up and down the east coast and in AZ, UT who are diehard Stihl guys, Husky, Jonsered and even a few that would run nothing but Sachs Dolmar. People can get very specific about their equipment. I did clearing in AZ on a national forest one summer and the company had Stihls. After a bit I ended up using an old Mcculloch that just cut better. All metal and much heavier but I was young and in college so didn't mind the weight.
Bryce and the custom 190 Sthil is so bad ass! Best part of the video by far.
Great video pal. I’m glad you are still going. Awesome saw too. I’m a Stihl guy but there’s nothing wrong with that saw. I’m also jealous of you getting to cut in such an awesome place. Brother I hope nothing but great things for you. Great job and god bless
Got to get some vid of Bryce running the 170!!! totally awesome lil dude :) reminds me of my kiddo with his ms260
I run Stihl saws!! Not that I need them that much but when I do need it…it’s reliable and works great. Enough for me.
Huskies are better imo, cheaper too.
Been waiting for this one😍 seems like an amazing saw
It is. Don’t listen to those Stihl guys.
Big fan of the channel! Great review! Looking forward to rocking my GOT hoodie in the woods this fall! It would look great with this saw!
Nice trees and nice ground! Creamy
I built a 395xp and put the flip caps on it. And they also fit on the 365/372 saws!
@5:50 That is why you leave the tree backwards at an angle and know what is around you at all times and @7:00 never seen that done. What great advice. Love reviews by guys that use the equipment for a living. Right to the point and specific like the handle angle. I have driven Semi's for 30+ yrs. I can get in a truck, drive it 20 miles and tell you everything it does and what I do and don't like. Saws seem the same way. I learn a ton from video's like this just watching guys use the saws then explaining the likes and dislikes.
You need to come to the UK, trees are felled so differently here it would be good to show the difference between your falling and the falling done in the UK on big hardwoods.
I've got a quiver of stihl's 880 down ... my MS 460 with a barker box and square ground is a beast ...but not as good as a 500i .... thats the game changer. That idea of bulldogging the top of a big log is gold. A ported 592 might be the next saw though ?
I’m running a fresh ported polished 460 it’s a screamer getting the second from the shop soon buying an 462 next
462 > 500i
One youtuber to another I learned something new today from you on cutting redwoods
Good to see you here . Fellow grinder . You helped me get through a successful first season of grinding stumps
After running a 2100 earlier in my career I got the husky bug pretty bad now my saws are ported 372s and 395s they cover everything I run into 100% agree with the Ford Chevy deal whatever floats your boat as long as the work gets done still miss that 2100 though ha ha
Your channel is better than any TV I've seen recently dude👍🏻
loved the tree action.
Looking forward to the next sweepstakes. I always miss when you give stuff away haha
I totally agree with you there are both great saws .
Woo hoo!!! My shirts showed up today!!! I’ll wear them on my channel. Thank you!
Hey you guys want to see a bad ass Husky feller? See Bjarne Butler up in B.C. makes these Redwoods look like pecker poles.
Would love to spend a month with those guys in the woods. Lots of knowledge! I am a Husky guy love them! I have a 288XP as well and when he said about that it was cool! I still run the 288XP when I need to! Awesome video and Bryce was about as cool as it gets!
My 272 I got from my dad is on its way out it's about 20+ yrs old I think. 😭😭
@@dad_uchiha1707 needs a rebuild or what ? I redid a 266se and ported myself look up “HL Supply” you can get a piston and cylinder reasonable
@@maxhiltin1133 ooooo thanks, I'll look into that
Bryce is the man! That interview was awesome lol.
Also i didnt know 395s were hard to find, my local RK has 2 brand new ones on the shelf.
I picked one up half a year ago and they told me it could be months before I got it when I asked if they could get me one, luckily they found one somewhat nearby and had it shipped to my local dealership!
You can buy a farmertec 395
I have ran still chainsaws because they’ve had a better motor mount system than the Husqvarna. I am very impressed with the new Husqvarna that you were using. I’d like to power I am used to 660 still which I like it’s real heavy and of course set a new MSI 500 which is a great saw feel injected, but I am very impressed with the new Husqvarna’s. Thank you for showing it be safe. My friend is very dangerous I know from experience.
Literally had to check this was posted in this decade… amazing,
It's always cool being shown a few tricks of the trade that are totally different from anything you've done before. I've always been a husky man but I tell you I am honestly leaning towards buying a 500i next year when it's time to replace my saws.
Pull the trigger and get one. Ever since we started with them, other saws just sorta stay on the truck most of the time.
Yeah I've always ran husky and the 500i is amazing I highly recommend
500i is a cool saw but I would take a 585, 661 or a 462 over the 500i. Honestly I'd prefer even a 390 or 7900 over the 500.
i will admit i am a husky man however as you said the boys you were with were set in there ways with stihl and it wouldnt matter how good it was they would never have acknowledged it. I reckon its a weapon of a saw and i love the features of the husky 5 series
Very good review, thanks.
Tha is for the post. One thing I wish stihl had done is make all the pro saws have the option of the full wrap handles. I’m left handed so it sure makes a huge difference having the full wrap handle. Really enjoy watching your videos learn so much
I think all the Stihl pro saws from the 362 and up are actually available with full wrap.
Maybe they dont because saws arent made to be left handed.
I finally broke down after a couple years of going back and forth on the decision to get one of the 95cc holzfforma 660's. I mainly plan to mill with it but I needed something a little bigger than the rancher 450 that I've had for the last decade. the 450 is still running great but the 20" really hindered what I can mill.
Logging in this country has come a long way. My grandfather used to use a two man saw, and they hauled out the logs by a team of horses. I am sure that logging is a lot safer now than it was around 1890!
Nice state of Jefferson sticker on the cooler!!
I have a 572xp and I really like it. Good power, good weight ratio. Wouldn't mind getting my hands on the 592.
It's a fun saw, heavy though.
I'm a climber been at it 27+ years and when I'm not climbing I watch other badasses climb great work and videos I send the 8 ways to notch a tree video to all greenhorns and tell them even tho it says there's 8 I only want them to use 1 and when they ask which one I say the one that works 😆 GOT gear otw can you come up with a ginormous sealable coffee mug maybe in your spare time 😂😂😂 stay safe out there
Nice job on tree! Great cutting saws;
Thought it was interesting they bragged on the 500 but stock might be the worst air filter set up! Glad you gave some unbiased review of husky. Price is always cheaper for a real comparable stihl saw.
I'm a husky man they've done good for me! I don't think I've ever owned a still, but I'm an old timer I grew up with those big old Mculicks and once they got hot they were hard to start, we spent most of our time pulling spark plugs and pulling rope!!. Was from Wisconsin back then ,we had severely cold Winters and I burned wood on these old Farms where I lived and I traded a 750 two-stroke Kawasaki 1972 model plus an extra perfect engine 750cc Kawasaki for a new mackmuk chainsaw with an 18 inch bar I think it was Pro Series I don't remember the numbers. that's how hard life was, I traded my motorcycle for a saw so I can heat my house and work in the woods
Hey i just saw the collaboration video you did with August…..FIVE STARS….who needs Hollywood with you guys on the job….thanks for the laughs EVERYONE NEEDS TO WATCH THIS TWO PART EXTRAVAGANZA….i hear Mel Brooks is working on a sequel but has realized a masterpiece should not be copied! 👍👍👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Those 3 point dogs are the only way to go in my opinion. Nicely done Gordy!
Learned something new about rocking the saw to make the kerf wider so the bar doesn’t get pinched! Awesome video. I run a 550xp,562xp and a 572xp!Husky is a great saw!
Nice bunch of Huskies ! But I'm wondering if you really need the 562, there's nothing the 562 can do that the 550 and 572 can't.
@@vzmax I’ve had the 562 for 4 years,I just bought the 572 in late April and the 550 in May. I find myself using the 562 the most,I have a 24 in bar on it and it just seems like the best saw for me.
@@smokinbutts2
Well, it seems you like Husky chainsaws so much that you buy some even if you don't really need them ! 😀
As for me, my 550XP is big and powerful enough for my property.
Take care !
Best tree work channel on TH-cam
Nice video Jacob, you Gordy and Anton do a nice job ! Anton doesn't look like a teacher but he's pretty good at it.
Gordy's a pretty good cat skinner!
All we ask is you sharpen that chain for the winner! Thought Anton was pulling your leg with the sawing motion haha! Especially when he grinned at Gordy.
I have been waiting for this video!!
Went to the store. Couldn't come up with $50 worth of merch... pretty steep raffle ticket. Nice saw. All the power to the feller that wins it.
Thanks for the review ! Been waiting a while for this one though I already bought the saw. Any idea when the WC dogs will be on the market for this one ? I would really like to buy a set.
Keep up the good work - always look forward to a new video!!! 😀
Great vlog Jacob reviewing the new husky like the chappy u were working with I too am a Stihl guy when it comes to power tools like chainsaws or blowers or weed whackers or other grounds maintenance equipment but I will say that husqvarna has in recent years become more of a threat to Stihl so I would not say I am never gonna use a piece of husqvarna equipment but more so Stihl is what I am used to and what I know and am comfortable using but great vlog non the less so keep it up dude from the little island of the U.K.
One of the reasons I prefer Husky, is that they are easier to maintain. I run both H. and S. Much as I like the 500i, what is it with Stihl’s insistence to keep with the awkward fuel & oil caps? Just change for the hell of it… and those caps are hell.
Got a 572xp and a 592xp/both choice/The 592xp is a totally different beast fkn awesome
Oh my god that hinge wood was amazing
i live in Shelton Washington my father took his chain saw chains to Skipworth chain saw to get sharpened they where great people they since retired the old saw shop is i think now a dentist office
Great video. Thank you. Great hinge
Good Video Jake. Nice saw also Brother.
Best 3 saw line up includes a 592xp. In the middle, I pick the 400cm. And for the 50cc, take your pick, either 550xp MarkII or 545 MarkII. I like the 545 because it runs cooler (probably last longer too).
learned something new in this video 👍🏾
Love the channel best video I’ve watched in awhile
Doooooooooood!!! I could definitely use that saw! Let's see how much luck I have. Though if I win, I had better be aware that I used up my luck and better be a little extra careful in the canopy. 🤔😁
It is funny you say hard to find. I just pick up a 592xp couple weeks ago to go along with my 500i. Now I can compare the 592xp to my brother in law 661 that he just picked up earlier this year. One of the local Husqvarna dealer in Michigan had 5 592xp and one with the heated handle , 5- 585 , 4-395 and about 3 to 4 of ever pro saw husky line up. At times they will even do a $250 off discount per saw when you buy three or more saws at one time.
Dealer out of Florida runs the dealer pricing on 3 saws everyday, does single saw sale deals a couple of times a year. Bought a 592 thru them back in May and a 572 in June. I have been running Stihl saws when I switched from Husky back in the mid 1990s.
I'm a husky man myself and love my old 372. Not a fan of the new style Husqvarna but they are still my go to.
I have a 372 and a 390 and I have had such great luck with them I’ve never felt the need to upgrade to the new auto tune models either. I heard a lot of troubles in the beginning but that was years ago. But there’s still my tried and true also
