Based on the before & after videos of the saws of any kind, size, or brand on this channel, I'd say God gave me an uncanny ability to - MAKE THEM RUN RIGHT, LOL. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the vid, you do a great job explaining what you are doing. I really like your in depth saw videos, for the knucle slash gear head! I never considered myself one but watching made me want to port my own saws, been doing now for about 2 years with some good results. Thank you for the inspiration! To God be the glory!!
I see another freak coming soon. Been watching for a few years now, and just when I think you have the baddest Stihl on the planet, you switch and build another "baddest on the planet" saw. Not enough hours in the day for you Jack, but I appreciate it.
Thanks for another great video Jack. Because I do mostly solo work or a brother. I get a little uneasy watching a few folks on sight trying to communicate. You guys do well. Regarding the other comments here, I think of the words spoken at Easter..."Forgive them Father for they know not what they do". In this case , what they say. Stay Safe Jack, we need ya for alot more time. Thank you. Hello from windy wind swept Alaska, old man winter still has his grip.
Most of my time is spent singlejacking as well. Occasionally Gary will give me a call for a special assignment project. He fell quite a bit of timber himself. Resultantly, he knows the drill. Additionally, we have worked together off and on since we were kids. I agree. I do my best to follow His directions/instructions. However, I'm also just a man. Subject to the same cares and/or actions as everyone else. I fail miserably at times as a result! My take, those that understand what they are looking at make the appropriate comments. Those that do not, also make the appropriate comments. The viewers with a lot of experience most likely can understand that their way is just one way to skin the cat. I fell a fair amount of redwood timber over the years. It's routinely 2x more valuable than fir. That's in second growth. I've seem where the old growth we fell was 3500 a thousand in lumber form - 40 years ago. This was filmed 2 years ago when the fir market was quite high. Sometimes you have to slow down to speed up. Some get it..... Thank you, and for watching.
At 10:13, on the butt next to this tree, you can see an exurbanite amount of wood pull from the stump. It pulled that tree off a bit. You can see in the preceding 592xp videos that there is wood pull happing in this "strip". You can see the slivers of pull in the stump and on the butt of this tree. It helps offset the wood pull to have a more narrow hinge - IF and only if there are not other extenuating circumstances that a guy is trying to compensate for. Agreed! Why beat your brains out... Thank for watching.
Ether one can do alright with a 42" in stock form. It will depend upon how patient the guys is that is using them. The 395s at the Insane-O level will do pretty well with a 42". It will be a little better balanced with that much bar when compared to the 592. Stock for stock the 592 bests the 395s. We will be looking at that shortly. Thanks for watching.
On the edge of buying one of these...my 0 series are precious...is it worth my time now that you have more time on one considering this was shot January 2021? Thanks from Sweden!
0 series, like 480 or 2100??? All things stock - a 395 runs better than a 2100. The 592s run better than a 395. I'd take a 372 (pre-smog) over a 480 for actual production cutting any day. Where the 181 took over for the 480. 181s where replaced by the 281 and then 288 which transitioned into the 385/390. I guess it would depend upon the application. Some people like vintage as well. I can relate. I think if you had an older saw that was brand new and the coil lived they might just last longer. So there are some variables that come into play. Interesting thought - The what would I buy if everything over the last 50 years was still available. Thanks for watching.
@@hotsaws101 Let me clarify as my comment was poorly written, 0 as in 044, 064, 066. I have a line on a brand new 592xpg for a very good price. It's tempting but I am a Stihl guy and a bit hesitant to take the plunge. What are your thoughts on them (592) two years after filming this?
@@smithtradfallning i dont mean to bud in but you wont be let down by its power/torque/acceleration. In fact i was amazed for a stock saw. It is by far the most responsive/aggressive ergonomic big saw that i have ever run. I have been logging for 30 plus years and have been waiting for a big saw that responds like a little screamer.
@@smithtradfallning Mr. Denotter below gives a good overview. I personally do not like the purge bulb concept. But they can be bypassed. There is not really anything on the 592s not to like other than that. I've heard of a few ignition failures. You can get those replaced for life still I think - although I have not check on the 592s specifically. The Stihl saw you mentioned are a little better at continual limbing due to the handle bar shape and distance to the pistol grip. The 592 has a better handle design for running a longer bar. Especially with the drive side up. So trade-offs there. The 592s have a little more mass than a 661. They have more power to go with it. Need a bar spacer to run Stihl bars. They end being a little short on adjustment due to the short bar groove hole. It will take some getting use to putting in the face changing to another saw. It will be more noticeable going to another brand of saw. I recommend fondling one 1st. You might not even like the fit & feel of a 592. If you do, get a demo or go saw out back and saw - but use your chains there. Only then will you have a baseline starting point. No offense intended here. I grew up in an area with a large contingency of Scandinavians. Never met a "Smith" from Sweden. Just curious. Thanks for watching.
@@hotsaws101 Sound advice, thanks. I am a bit hesitant as I would be picking one up second hand so no warranty? I am originally from southern California, actually went to school up at HSU, the wife is from Sweden. Thanks for the reply!
Its hard to compare a saw thats been out for years to a saw that has been out months I mean out of the box the 592 is for sure the best 90cc saw ever made but porting wise people has years of R&D to get the most out of the 661 so ask that question 5 years from now and you will get a good comparison answer
Stock for stock a 395 beats a 661. Stock for stock the 592 beats the 395. Crystal ball - once zipped the 592s should "handle" the 661s. This may or may not be a prediction as I may or may not already know. We may have to stay tuned for the subsequent videos that corroborate, or not... I am not sure why it would take years to get a 592 up to it's full potential. Either the tuner actually knows what they are doing and can maximize straightaway,,, or they don't and cannot. There might be little, minor tweaks a guy can implement to gain very small increases. This is assuming that the saw has all stock oem componentry and not am this or that. It is also assuming that both saws are taken to the same level. Case in point: I watched a video from a well-known tuner back East. They ran a 661 against a 395. Somehow, while giving up 2.46cc, the 661 won. NOT happening if they are equally "did". The variable was the chain(s). Each saw had it's own chain. You cannot get a fair comparison using different chains. That shows a lack of understanding on the part of that operation. Just my 2 cents worth. Thanks for watching.
@@hotsaws101 im just saying the 592 thats out now is already better out of the box and im sure they will make updates to the Autotune throughout the next couple years to make it better not just saying make it better modified wise husqvarna already has a 550xp mark 3 thats being tested as we speak so maybe within a year or so we might see a 592xp mark 2 thats even better than what it is now
In big valuable trees it pays to take your time. This is obviously a little private job so you’d want to be extra careful about breakage. Jack is a great cutter and that coming from logging behind him in several units.
I was also very impressed by that saw right out of the box
Hello.
The description area contains some insight & qualifiers. Might provide some clarification that can enlighten you, 1st.
Thanks for watching.
One of the great all time loggers..and saw hopper...and GOD FEARING man...hello jack
Jack nedd your help ..wanted saw done this year missed ya last year ..be safe email me
I’m very excited to see what you can do with these saws. I bought a 585 and immediately put a 592 top end on it. Love it so far.
Based on the before & after videos of the saws of any kind, size, or brand on this channel, I'd say God gave me an uncanny ability to - MAKE THEM RUN RIGHT, LOL.
Thanks for watching.
@@hotsaws101 of that, there is no doubt. I’m looking forward to it. I haven’t seen anyone’s saws that run like yours. I’ll be waiting patiently.

Great job sir
Thank you.
And for watching.
@@hotsaws101 thank u sir have a good week
"What time is it?" Not lunch time yet.

Real skinny hinge. Nice to have the push, saves a round of wedging.

Good video, why is the other guy is such a snob and cant just look at it himself.
