    Chain sharpness has a much bigger impact than many people realize. I run a 500i on occasion, love it. But prefer the little ol' ms261 with an 18" bar for the majority of my work. So power is important, but just one factor.

    I have 3 Stihl 500i , 1 Stihl 661, 1Husqvarna 395, 2 Stihl 660, and a Stihl 460. The Stihl 500i is by far my favorite saw to cut trees with. I would have thought the 500i would have won. I'm going to buy a Husqvarna 592 and try it out thanks for the video

      The 592 is just a little lighter than a 395. More power than a 500i but also heavier.

      @@tocool1605 for general firewooding I would have the 500i over the heavier 592 anyday.
      But it I was cutting big timber then the 592 is the best choice

    I have both and love them for different reasons. The 500i was ported and is a lil demon! I use a 28” and a 32” bar for 90% of all my cutting. The 592 is a monster and I use it for all my larger cuts. 36” and 42” bars in it. If I’m falling I use the 500

    I have both and both are the best saws I ever owned! But, if I were to choose one it would be the 500i. Far easier to start, lighter and my 500i seems a lot quicker than the one in the video.

    That Stihl looks like it might be significantly down on power from factory fresh: it sounds tired - but that Husky is impressive nonetheless.

    I don’t know if I told you in your older video . I have a 500i R ported . Like Buckin Billy Ray mentioned in his videos a sharp chain is very important and the rakers are set right , it will cut the log like butter ! I have the Ms 261c ported .

    These saws aren't even in the same class. When you factor power to weight ratio the stihl wins hands down. There's a reason they're so popular. Big bucking/falling job, sure, 592. All arounder, 500i. Nobody is running a 25" bar on a 592.

      @@rogerpowers3891 Yes the Husqvarna certainly has the larger capacity on it's side. A 13.5 cc advantage to be precise. While the Stihl has the alleged power advantage of fuel injection over carburetion. However from what I can see, the extra 13.5 cc's is out of proportion to the blistering performance of the Husqvarna. Both are great saws.. I would be happy with either one. 👍🏻

    Does the 592 have a stock sprocket on. I have seen 661s with one more tooth on the back sprocket and they are really fast.

  • @rothamfarm1682
    @rothamfarm1682 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

    i own the 592 and i love it the only problem i have is it gets vaper lock every once in a while so it will be tough to start some times but other than that is awesome. i had and old 028 farm boss for years and loved it, bought a stihl ms250 and HATED it traded it in for the 592. i know they are different in HP but a world a difference saws, i own a few more Husq saws. but ill say cant go wrong with either brand.

    No replacement for displacement. Stihls have always had better power to weight but Huskies always had better filtration and smoother. I prefer working on Huskies, I find Stihls a bit of a pain to work on.

    If the 592 isn't broke in yet (rings seated) then it will get faster.

  • @drewr13NJ
    @drewr13NJ 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I figured the 592 would beat out the 500i because of the extra cubes. I love my 500i for cutting big wood, like 18 to 20” up.

    Both great saws but nobody runs a 25" bar on a 592. 32" minimum on a 92cc saw. Now I am not saying it still wont out cut the 500i but a 592 is for 32" trees and up. Also that 500 does not sound like its running right, I have one all stock and it screams through oak that small. Also the Husky C83 chains are well known to cut faster than Stihl or most others chains out of the box. I have Husky and Stihl and like both.

  • @johngardner3020
    @johngardner3020 17 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    The stihl chains are hard and tough but cut like a half dull chain before a good hand filing brings them up to speed. The x cut husqvarna chain has superior out of the box sharpness. The 592 is more powerful and should be faster in large wood with equal chains. In that small wood though, even a 60cc saw with an excellent chain would have done better than the 500i shown. But in the spirit of 'out of the box vs out of the box', yea I'd expect stihl to get smoked across the board with just about every match up.

      Same log. The first cut is dark because the end of the log was weathered.
