I work for Husqvarna group in Huskvarna and I diecast alot of the parts for these saws. Amazing feeling to see a saw in your hands smiling away! This made my day Billy! Greetings from Sweden
Brother when I went to the factory in Sweden it solidified why i felt i had something superior in my hands all these years ,,please say hi to the folks on the line for me , sincerely, brother thx
i have a tiny 460 and I love it, just for around my 40 acre farm with 24 acres of wood on it, The saw is perfect I use an 18 inch bar and couldn't be more pleased with it. Starts second pull cold always.
You're a great brand ambassador for Husqvarna, Buckin'. Always fair minded, always honest. What you have to say in favour or occasionally in criticism of Husky's saws is weighty, considered and offered to help everyone do better. No better man, no more deserving. Thanks for being who you are buddy.
Husqvarna USA. That was a board room discussion from the corporation it's self, to send you that package. I would say it took several marketing managers across the US a lot of time, emails back and forth, watching your TH-cam channel, just to get the feel of the reason why they would all agree to send a person that is not a Husqvarna dealer, a saw, bar, chain, and shirts. Dang write man, I would be honored as well. You have arrived, and a great retirement awaits. Good job Buckin!
Im using 562 markII for two months. 5 days a week, 7-8 hour a day. Great saw so far, excellent balance and amortization. Mark II has more space between muffler and crankcase, more radiators on cylinder and bigger air intake on a starter side.
That’s a huge deal man. Congrats on receiving that saw from husky. Even tho you are such a well accomplished man in the industry this is like the final stamp of approval. You will honestly be remembered forever by myself and many thousand of others. I’m 35 and will hopefully still remember everything that I have learned from you when I’m an old man. I have never watched any other channel for power saw info because I could tell from day 1 that you are the real expert.
Bought my 1st Husqvarna saw back in 1997, still run it. I had to rebuild the carb once, other than that just normal maintenance has kept it running. I do have 2 newer saws but they’re Husqvarna’s too. I’ve run other saws but they just don’t seem to stand up to my fleet of Husky’s. Oh yeah…… at 69 years old my saws still get used at least 2 days a week. I might be old, but I ain’t dead yet!
Everyone barks on about the weight of husky but it's balance and feels nice in the hand, gone from 372 to 560 to 562 to 572xp and all the while I'll had the 390xp and ill never change good work buckin
That profile is exactly how i grind my chain for myself and others every cutter has given me very good feed back i also bring the guides down a little more than recommended depending on saw size and wood species hardwood or softwood etc!!
That was a really fun unboxing. I knew you would find a way to start it and find something to cut. Too hard to resist. I love my 254xp 30 year old saw. Has run like a champ.
I run a gen one 562 and LOVE it. Just recently it developed a idle issue. It will now get sent off the boys at rip saw for them to repair and sprinkle their magic pixie on it. That 562 is a true sleeper. The saw on a 26” with that chain is the combo of the century.
I own a mark 1 562. Love it and have the wrap, dogs, and recently piped it myself. Love it even more. It's not the most powerful saw, does what I need it to.
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith I took my factory exhaust apart and opened it all up. Welded a bigger square output. I owe my inspiration to modify my saw to you and your passion for saws. Thank you
Im glad they kept their fisher-price bubble. that skweek skweek brings out the inner child in me too. Keep the HUSQVARNA box for a carrying case. LOL happy cutting. Stay safe
I have that saw. It RIPS. Favorite saw I own . There is a bearing on the crank. Clutch side. There is a hole in the center. Slam your bar grease tool in that hole 4-5 pumps.. made a WORLD of difference. Crazy smooth after that lol
hay buckin' a shout out for are love of God given management of are forest's,heat,building and the works ect ....after 15 years owning a delmar 5100s bucking dozens of semi loads of hard wood each year for heat and the free stuff .when the saw was new I logged for a saw mill a year and 1/2 never been to the shop runs great so,,,,love to see dalmar vr's husq thats all thanks Frank,,,
Very happy for you. Like giving to a grandchild on Christmas day. I file that chain topcutter with a square file at 90-Degree horizontal to the bar good in all wood hard and soft or dirty. Lasts a long time when filed.
Wow, congrats! Wild timing, I pulled out my 560xp after running my 500i and 572xp today.. and it ripped! Amazing they sent it with a 28" bar too. Health to enjoy brother.
I just bought a used 592xp with full wrap and 32” bar and I LOVE IT. Added a Husky 24” lightweight bar (I think it is actually a rebranded Sugihara bar) which is great makes it so light and easy to use for small quick jobs.
I have the older 562xp running a 24" every day. Updated the air intake a while back. The largest bar" recommend" by Husky is a 28". Found it just could not keep the speed up in the hard wood under it own weight. If you want it scream all day 20" is the best. I didn't have many trees over 24" so falling and cleanup can be done with one saw. One thing like and hate is the run time vs the 70cc class. Limbing and bucking in the heat it just keeps running and I run out of gas first. 70cc saw( MS462) goes dry in 15-20min, way to short. That X cut chain profile is impossible to maintain with a round file only. Husky needs a file to match that profile. Overall the 562XP has been a great saw for me. last year I got the 550XP mark2 as a climbing saw with 20" bar.
For some reason every husky I've own I've had issue with it running worth a darn. gave to the two last ones away they pissed me off that much. not even that much use.. but when they run right they do well. I'd love try a larger saw like that to prove my feelings wrong about them... PS glad to see your doing better. I'm 4 years out from my injury and doing really good. you'll get there soon.. Best of luck with that saw.. looking forward to seeing it in action..
My first chainsaw was a Jonsered, and that is what I mainly own. I was really upset when they Axed Jonsered. It is good to see Husqvarna to something so kind as this. Makes me kind of feel like giving them a chance. I know they were all the same on the inside, but I felt really bad for my friends shop that sold Jonsered. They are mainly selling echo saws now, and I never liked echo's except for the 2511t (but even they have weak trigger handles, and the wire lanyard is weak also). I love my Red saws, but I agree that Jonsered/Husky saws are built tough. I remember when one of the guys on the logging crew I used to work for, accidentally drove over a 2171 Jonsered with the skidder. We robbed a bunch of the plastic off a dead saw, and had it back in the wood a few days later. A few years later a friend that is a die hard stihl guy, had that happen to his saw, and there wasn't much of anything left to salvage.
I think you will love those x cut chains the 83 and 85 both are great chains ⛓️ they cut better than any chain out the box that i have ever used and i have tried a lot of different brands
Taz, you are 100% correct! This man has always been extremely clear about how he feels about Husqvarna. He is indeed the reason I went the Husqvarna route myself.
"My Flys been down the entire time" Best unboxing video Eva. I purchased this saw just before Christmas. Have yet to start it, but cannot wait to get it into the wood. Love love love Husqvarna!!
Just bought one last week, running it in hardwood in upstate NY 20” bar . Love it 👍🏻 it’s not my 372xp but a close 2 nd it’s lighter faster and very nimble in your hands .Looking forward to your review. Remember Get the gullet !
Sweet! Happy Husqvarna is grasping your channel and the whole community. That being said as a proud “East Coaster” I run a full wrap handle. You made me a believer in its handling advantages. Great content and want to see how you show its worth.
You captured the energy and excitement of a kid the night before Christmas 🎄that’s why your videos are so addictive, that and the sound of a well working power saw centres me, brings me back to good memories of me with my old man out in the woods. ❤2U and all that you do.
i have like ten saws lol im set for life. i have a 7310p , ms500i , ms462 , cs590, cs390, two ms170, ms250, 545 mark ll, 3 hortzformma (76cc, 90cc and 120cc)
I gotta be real with ya, I'm feeling a little envious. I need a new saw so bad. Been looking for a new one but just can't do it until I get back to work and get some money coming in. So awesome what Husqvarna did and sent to you. That's awesome brother.
You are not alone brother. And likely, there are many others also that feel your pain. But life will do this sometimes and seems not to care.... it passes over that man in need, to bless yet again, the man that needeth not. Something like that...
I’m a stihl guy but right now stihl honestly doesn’t have a model I’d be willing to shell money out for. Been really looking at these 5 series saws for the last few months. Maybe not the lightest saws but they look like winners. Love your content and your faith. Please don’t ever change
I’m currently updating my herd. Recently sold off my beloved 661. My 460 is starting to show her age. So I bought a 500i to replace those 2. Mind blown so far. Now my johnsred 2065 is aging as well so now after the 500i purchase and the older I get the less I like to have to figit with things so now I’m thinking about a newer 60ish cc saw.
Of all my Husqvarna saws, the 562 xp (2018) is my favorite. Came with a standard 28" and I add wrap bars and switch to the then new Husqvarna lightweight bar. Has no problem with all the oak around here. Have cut up to 36" without a problem. I run the oiler wide open. Looking forward to how you like the Mark II, been thinking of getting one.
Just bought one of these myself last week as my FIRST chainsaw. Got one with the lightweight 24" bar and the C85 chain. I LOVED WORKING WITH IT IMMEDIATELY...but I don't have any real experience so what do I know? Not much I can say that! Anyhow, its really good to know that an expert on the subject also finds the saw so satisfying to work with. Can't wait to see you run it with a full wrap and a muffler mod.
Congratulations Billy! That's awesome Husqvarna acknowledged your hard work, dedication, commitment to the logging industry. Well deserved enjoy friend
Just got into saws and pre ordered this one with the 28" for my first pro saw for a Christmas present for myself. Been watching and learning from you since I bought a 445 of a buddy. Glad to see you getting recognized by Husqvarna! Mine came with the double dogs separate in the box. Just need the full wrap handle now.
Buckin, I know you have always been a 70CC+ kinda guy but this size saw certainly has a place in your truck. My 562XP was originally outfitted with a 28" bar just like yours and C83 Full Comp instead of C85. The skip is a great choice on that saw given its size. I find that the saw is a bit nose heavy with the standard 28" bar and would love to try the Husqvarna 28" light bar (the bar I should have ordered it with). Been watching you for years and appreciate all you do. I am short enough that I can truly stand up and buck with a 28" As you deal with some shoulder injuries, this saw will surely have a place for you. I find that it is a wonderful, smooth saw with lots of power for how compact it is and it has just ruined me from running most other saws. Mine is not even the Mark ii by the way. You are 100% correct on the build quality. I am finding that their balance of size, weight and compactness is my favorite package. Congratulations and thank you Husqvarna for sending this to Buckin as he has influenced many purchases over his years on YT even mine.
I got a 562xp from a client whose husband passed. I showed up with a small ryobi to do a basic job. She gave me the husky to try but I didnt know how to start it at the time. End of job she gave it to me. Got it up and running and 1.5 years later,. I use it on all my jobs. I hated the brake release/cap issue though lol
Thanks. My old (1994) Husq 268 blew up yesterday, and I replaced it today with a 562 with a light bar, 28 inch. I am 72, female, and I do not like to bend over with a 20# chain saw, and hence the 28"bar. I really hope this new saw is as good as the old one. Used 98% for cutting firewood.
Nice saw. A few guys have figured out how to duplicate the c83/c85 chain profile. You sharpen the top plate with a stihl hexa file then hit the gullet with a 5/32 file. Similar to the baby C you showed us but with a square/hexa file. It's not an east coast saw until you stick a 16 inch bar on it lol.
That's awesome Buckin Billy! You should be a Husqvarna representative or engineer for them atleast! You definitely know all about them. That's the saw I've been thinking about purchasing myself. Awesome videos!!
I love my Husky, my dad bought some cheap Poulans as back up and truck saws, didn't realize they were made by Husky as well. For a loose, cheap saw those run like a scalded cat.
Don’t take pain meds. Pain is our guide to healing and letting us know what we can and cannot do in the healing process. I had an L4/L5 discectomy early in my career and was climbing in two weeks with out pain control but the pain guided me.:) I know you probably know this friend:)
Love my 562 mark2. It’s a mid sized workhorse and nice to carry into thick brushy areas vs a heavier saw. Once you open it up a bit with a light port and a pipe it is hard to NOT want to grab that saw first
Husky has been my go to for the duration of my career. I have the 540’s to the 3120. I have two of the old 562’s ported. The primary weak spot is the recoil pulley. Check out the recoil pulley on the new one, I’d like to see if it’s more robust or redesigned. Love the enthusiasm Buckin!
Very nice of them to do that! I like the C85 chain… cuts really well straight out of the box… I’m interested to see how you resharpen it as using a round file will change the shape of the grind… 👍🏻
Hi Buckin, I have been waiting for my dealer to get one of the 562xp Mark II in. I'll be watching for your review of this saw. I do have experience with the X-cut chain and I am very impressed with how it cuts. I have profiled a wheel for my grinder to replicate the grind Husqvarna has put on this chain. If Husqvarna is watching, offer us a CBN wheel with an X-cut profiled wheel for the Oregon grinders. Then the dealers that offer sharpening and the end user with a grinder could continue sharpening the chain with the original out of the box grind with ease.
A huge thank you to Husqvarna for their generous gift and for putting their trust in you. And to Christine for organizing it all 🙏❤️ You're going to enjoy the heck out of this, and so will we. And Husqvarna will get an honest, well-educated review. Doesn't get any better! I'm looking forward to seeing where you can go with this ☺️🌳🌲💗 All in good time ...
Wow!!! Husqvarna couldnt have sent their product to a higher qualified professional than you my freind!! Someone who will give an HONEST opinion on somethi g and not beat around the bush...i will pay fir a heavier saw, better quality in parts etc...hands down the best on the market....and borther, you had us rollin on the open fly comment at the end😂😂 what a honor buckin, you deserve this one ❤❤🪓🌲🪵🫵🫵
still rockin’ the “triple nickel” 555 autotune. Great saw! sips fuel, and a screamer, great for limbing, lightweight with enough power to chew itself quickly thru a log without dogging. I like the adjustable oiler, super easy to change the flow rate, esp. handy for longer bars. Wasn’t sure about the autotune when I purchased it….but a fan of it now, for sure. Leave your tuning screwdiver in the box, Billy….30 seconds full throttle in a big log, tunes itself wonderfully! From a 35° hot summer day, to -40° up a mountain, it starts and runs like a top….and after years of use, I can attest to its durability, no loose floppy motor mounts, the antivibe is very good. Thin design is a joy to operate…power to weight, hard to beat! cheers from northern BC
I like the c85 best out of the box chain I have run. The gold joiner link is a great start and end point for sharpening. It has minimal stretch and mine has lasted better than any before. It keeps a great profile with a round file if sharpen only the top plate for the duration of the original gullet.
I work for Husqvarna group in Huskvarna and I diecast alot of the parts for these saws.
Amazing feeling to see a saw in your hands smiling away!
This made my day Billy!
Greetings from Sweden
Love your city. We've visited Jönköping last summer and of course we went to the husqvarna museum👍
@@german_arborist Makes me proud mate! Thanks

Good man North
Literally started my tree service with only husky simply bc of bill
Excellent work from Christine who has been essential running the Buckin store and being an integral member of the Buckin team. 🌲🍀♻️💚
Christine is the OZ behind the curtain
So wholesome seeing a person truly love something so much with so much passion AND gratitude as well!!
Husqvarna USA. That was a board room discussion from the corporation it's self, to send you that package.

Classic parting words "my fly's been down the whole time, probably got some saw dust in there" 🤣😂
As a Swede, i love all our god brands an super good quality we as a small country can produce.. Sweden with love..
can wait to bring my wife back , love
Brother my first car here in West Virginia was Saab and it was amazing yall know how to make good stuff
Definitely a smart move in my opinion by husky , they will get an honest opinion how good their saw actually is congratulations Buckin!!!
Loved the video and the soul that presented it. Its a great gift given by husqvarna to you, and a great gift to us from you. Thanks.
Thx Paul
Well done Husqvarna! You couldn’t ask for a better brand ambassador or better man than Buckin Billy Ray! Love you all! ❤️✊

Congrats on new saw! Had my 562 since 2017 and its always ready to rip, 562/372 my most used saws. Hope you like it as much as I do 💪
Christine way to follow through on this super gift, you are always on top of things. 👍👍
As soon as that saw started . The look in your eyes was priceless 😃. It was go time.. Great video, thank you.
I get such joy from your videos buckin’ You are such a great man! And an inspiration. Thank you so much for all you share with us!!
I appreciate that
Good for you. Good things come to good people and your good people. Bless you Buckin.
Everyone barks on about the weight of husky but it's balance and feels nice in the hand, gone from 372 to 560 to 562 to 572xp and all the while I'll had the 390xp and ill never change good work buckin
Husqvarna all the way my friend 👍
We've ported and sold 10 of these since first weekend of Dec. Props to husky for the upgrades they made on these
Hello, could an autotune be ported? I mean by the time you change a muffler and go for a bigger one, is it a must to port an autotune model? Thanks
@@sokinfragoul yes the porting adds quite a bit to these

Nice saw, I just got a new 550XP. The 562 is the only one I haven't got, got the 3120,592,585,572. Got to love the Huskys 👍

Buckin! Hope all is well. You have been a great ambassador to the brand since day one brother. Super cool to see Husky send you that saw!
My ported 562 with Stihl 28" LW bar is easily one of my favorite saws of all time.
Super nice saw Buckin! Enjoy the little saw with tons of power!🤩🤩

I’m currently updating my herd. Recently sold off my beloved 661. My 460 is starting to show her age. So I bought a 500i to replace those 2. Mind blown so far. Now my johnsred 2065 is aging as well so now after the 500i purchase and the older I get the less I like to have to figit with things so now I’m thinking about a newer 60ish cc saw.
I’m with you on husky’s, 20 years of log home building and 15 years of mobile sawmill business and always a husky!
just bought my first chainsaw and its a husqvarna mark II! I'm loving it so far. easy to opperate and handle and cuts like butter.
Of all my Husqvarna saws, the 562 xp (2018) is my favorite. Came with a standard 28" and I add wrap bars and switch to the then new Husqvarna lightweight bar. Has no problem with all the oak around here. Have cut up to 36" without a problem. I run the oiler wide open. Looking forward to how you like the Mark II, been thinking of getting one.
Buddy good for you! I've personally been running a 562 since 2018 and habe loved it.
kool
God I love you, you're such a raw human, just a real good guy. Proud of you and your achievements. I've learned so much from ya!
Just bought one of these myself last week as my FIRST chainsaw. Got one with the lightweight 24" bar and the C85 chain. I LOVED WORKING WITH IT IMMEDIATELY...but I don't have any real experience so what do I know? Not much I can say that! Anyhow, its really good to know that an expert on the subject also finds the saw so satisfying to work with. Can't wait to see you run it with a full wrap and a muffler mod.
Congratulations Billy! That's awesome Husqvarna acknowledged your hard work, dedication, commitment to the logging industry. Well deserved enjoy friend
Just got into saws and pre ordered this one with the 28" for my first pro saw for a Christmas present for myself. Been watching and learning from you since I bought a 445 of a buddy. Glad to see you getting recognized by Husqvarna! Mine came with the double dogs separate in the box. Just need the full wrap handle now.
Buckin, I know you have always been a 70CC+ kinda guy but this size saw certainly has a place in your truck. My 562XP was originally outfitted with a 28" bar just like yours and C83 Full Comp instead of C85. The skip is a great choice on that saw given its size. I find that the saw is a bit nose heavy with the standard 28" bar and would love to try the Husqvarna 28" light bar (the bar I should have ordered it with). Been watching you for years and appreciate all you do. I am short enough that I can truly stand up and buck with a 28"
As you deal with some shoulder injuries, this saw will surely have a place for you. I find that it is a wonderful, smooth saw with lots of power for how compact it is and it has just ruined me from running most other saws. Mine is not even the Mark ii by the way.
You are 100% correct on the build quality. I am finding that their balance of size, weight and compactness is my favorite package. Congratulations and thank you Husqvarna for sending this to Buckin as he has influenced many purchases over his years on YT even mine.
itll be heavy with the husky light as well . their not light . Go stihl bar brother .
Thank you! @@BuckinBillyRaySmith
I got a 562xp from a client whose husband passed. I showed up with a small ryobi to do a basic job. She gave me the husky to try but I didnt know how to start it at the time. End of job she gave it to me. Got it up and running and 1.5 years later,. I use it on all my jobs.
I hated the brake release/cap issue though lol
Thanks. My old (1994) Husq 268 blew up yesterday, and I replaced it today with a 562 with a light bar, 28 inch. I am 72, female, and I do not like to bend over with a 20# chain saw, and hence the 28"bar. I really hope this new saw is as good as the old one. Used 98% for cutting firewood.
Have a 562 and 28" 3/8 .050 with a wrap and dogs. Stand up and buck!!!
Your appreciation is genuine. I love it
Nice saw.
A few guys have figured out how to duplicate the c83/c85 chain profile. You sharpen the top plate with a stihl hexa file then hit the gullet with a 5/32 file. Similar to the baby C you showed us but with a square/hexa file.
It's not an east coast saw until you stick a 16 inch bar on it lol.
That's awesome Buckin Billy! You should be a Husqvarna representative or engineer for them atleast! You definitely know all about them. That's the saw I've been thinking about purchasing myself. Awesome videos!!
I want it just in the 24" inch. Let me know how you like it?
I love my Husky, my dad bought some cheap Poulans as back up and truck saws, didn't realize they were made by Husky as well. For a loose, cheap saw those run like a scalded cat.
Not made by Husky, but owned by Husky...actually, Poulan makes some of Husky's low-end consumer saws, usually the 2 cheapest models they offer....
Wow they finally catching up to stihl chain brake on the frame and captive bar nuts wow good for Husqvarna for modernizing there saws finally
And, thx for your content, your saw chain sharpening expertise has changed everything, for the good.
Don’t take pain meds. Pain is our guide to healing and letting us know what we can and cannot do in the healing process. I had an L4/L5 discectomy early in my career and was climbing in two weeks with out pain control but the pain guided me.:) I know you probably know this friend:)
Love my 562 mark2. It’s a mid sized workhorse and nice to carry into thick brushy areas vs a heavier saw. Once you open it up a bit with a light port and a pipe it is hard to NOT want to grab that saw first
Husky has been my go to for the duration of my career. I have the 540’s to the 3120. I have two of the old 562’s ported. The primary weak spot is the recoil pulley. Check out the recoil pulley on the new one, I’d like to see if it’s more robust or redesigned. Love the enthusiasm Buckin!
there is now 4 posts , not 2 . they adressed that firsure . Peace , love and Power Saws
interesting @@BuckinBillyRaySmith
I had a older one in Alaska when they first came out and loved it ! Looking forward to getting my hands on this new one! Looks like a ripper!!
I bought my first Husqvarna a few weeks ago, the 460, it's the best thing I've ever used. Wish I got one earlier.
Used to own a Husqvarna. I just used it around my Dads and for small jobs. It was a 16 inch bar. Again small stuff. But it ran great!
Very nice of them to do that! I like the C85 chain… cuts really well straight out of the box… I’m interested to see how you resharpen it as using a round file will change the shape of the grind… 👍🏻
Hi Buckin, I have been waiting for my dealer to get one of the 562xp Mark II in. I'll be watching for your review of this saw. I do have experience with the X-cut chain and I am very impressed with how it cuts. I have profiled a wheel for my grinder to replicate the grind Husqvarna has put on this chain. If Husqvarna is watching, offer us a CBN wheel with an X-cut profiled wheel for the Oregon grinders. Then the dealers that offer sharpening and the end user with a grinder could continue sharpening the chain with the original out of the box grind with ease.
Do you know what the difference between the regular 562xp vs mark II
I’m a Stihl only fan but happy to see Husky pull through with that for you.
Thx
Really blessed. It’s nice to see you so excited! 🪓🌲
I just knew you were going to start her up! 😃❤👍 It would be neat to see the full wrap installation.. Thx
Coming soon!
I'm impressed by any engine starting on the first pull.
I have a 565XP auto tune with a 28” bar and I love it. I’ve put the 28” bar on my 61 and it’s great!
that saw is quick.....thanks for sharing. I like Stihl but there is always room for another saw......lol. thanks for sharing.
I had 3 of them ,,they blew up at 152 hours,155 hours and 157 hours ,,crank bearings go on them ,,switch to Echo ,,2 yrs running the same saw
You mean on the mkii?
A huge thank you to Husqvarna for their generous gift and for putting their trust in you. And to Christine for organizing it all 🙏❤️
You're going to enjoy the heck out of this, and so will we.
And Husqvarna will get an honest, well-educated review. Doesn't get any better!
I'm looking forward to seeing where you can go with this ☺️🌳🌲💗
All in good time ...
i have the 572 and love it , i"am looking to get a pipe for it but cant find any in Canada ca you help?
soon
Love it man. Keep making videos and always. Be kind honest and hard working 🙏🏻
Thank you 🙌
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING HOW TO UNTANGLE A CHAIN!!! I am sorry to get so excited about that. lol THat frustrates the crap out of me! YOU ROCK, Billy!
@@joeburnham636yer not alone friend many do
Love it
I found it useful as well
you are correct, add me to the list! @@BuckinBillyRaySmith
I’ve run the C83 chain and it’s a cutter. I like that chain.!
Is it made in China? It looks a bit like Trilink chain....
Wow!!! Husqvarna couldnt have sent their product to a higher qualified professional than you my freind!! Someone who will give an HONEST opinion on somethi g and not beat around the bush...i will pay fir a heavier saw, better quality in parts etc...hands down the best on the market....and borther, you had us rollin on the open fly comment at the end😂😂 what a honor buckin, you deserve this one ❤❤🪓🌲🪵🫵🫵
Billy thanks for showing what a stock saw can do. I know you liked them warmed over.
still rockin’ the “triple nickel” 555 autotune. Great saw! sips fuel, and a screamer, great for limbing, lightweight with enough power to chew itself quickly thru a log without dogging. I like the adjustable oiler, super easy to change the flow rate, esp. handy for longer bars. Wasn’t sure about the autotune when I purchased it….but a fan of it now, for sure. Leave your tuning screwdiver in the box, Billy….30 seconds full throttle in a big log, tunes itself wonderfully! From a 35° hot summer day, to -40° up a mountain, it starts and runs like a top….and after years of use, I can attest to its durability, no loose floppy motor mounts, the antivibe is very good. Thin design is a joy to operate…power to weight, hard to beat! cheers from northern BC
I like the c85 best out of the box chain I have run. The gold joiner link is a great start and end point for sharpening. It has minimal stretch and mine has lasted better than any before. It keeps a great profile with a round file if sharpen only the top plate for the duration of the original gullet.
Ya couldn’t get a more grateful and gracious person to send a saw to , but don’t forget deserving . This is karma working perfectly if you ask me .
