I can't wait to see you lay a tree down with that saw..... people pay attention to his movements and how he holds the saw close.... it helps so much.... I've went from my whole upper body hurting when I run a saw to running it no problems. Buckin thank you so much for your knowledge. 🙏
My grandfather had alot of the tools I see you have.... i wish I could of learned to use them from him and learned the things he knew. Thank you buckin for all you show and teach. ❤
Buckin is exactly right on point , talking about a chain out of the box . It's just not as good as a good hand file. 100 percent the info people need to hear and understand . No bs or lies for your views just the straight truth. Tyvm buckin
I've had my 572XP for a few years now and love it. Can be a bit heavy, been running the regular husky 28" bar and looking to put a light weight 24" on soon. Everything is so well thought out on the husky XP's - the captive fuel and oil caps, the choke, ergononics and anti-vibe system and starting procedure. Those west coast bars are tempting! That saw really gets a new life after it's broken after a few tanks.
im far from the experienced chain hand filer.... but the difference from "i know its getting worn some" to the experience after i file is drastic, thanks to channels like this.
Thank you reviewing this saw. I know you don’t want your channel to become a saw review channel but throwing them in every once n a while is very helpful to beginners like me.
Nice saw, Buckin'! ❤ Nice story about the preference: when I was doing my certification the instructor asked just before we were heading out if anyone had a true preference for a brand. They had Husky and Stihl and there was 1 guy who said he would only run a Stihl powersaw. The instructor replied: "Great, here's a Husqvarna for you!" The guy was somehow dissapointed, but ran the saw all day long and when the instructor asked him at the end of the day if it was really that bad he could only say no. He even got to like the saw he was running, though I forgot what type it was. The point the instructor was trying to make is that there are no bad saws comming from both companies. Yes, there are differences in where to apply a saw and someone can simply have a good 'feel' using a certain brand, but there are no bad saws. At least not in the professional saws, consumer saws... well, that's something else.
The 572EX in now my primary falling saw for 3 reasons. 1 The anti vibrating bushings really make a difference. 2 That balance with the power head & bar. 3 The power to weight ratio.. There is plenty of power for its weight. Thanks for reviewing this saw, great insight.
Havent watched your videos for 3.5 years Buckin, been in prison, meth addiction finally caught up to me. Glad to see that you're still swinging chainsaws around, your videos give me the courage and strength to work on myself day in and day out. Stay safe Buck and keep doing what you're doing.
Love my 572xp and 592xp! Absolute weapons they run like a ported saw from the factory and the 592xp has a totally open muffler from the factory it really cracks. I've been falling with my two for the last year non stop here in Australia and love them! Sold my 372xp and 3120xp as I just never picked them up again after using these!
I do quite like how the newer huskies have the forwarded handle on the full wrap. It took half a day of falling to get used to it, but i prefer it now. The length of the power head was also a little strange at first. The distance from the top handle to the trigger is noteably farther apart, seems insignificant but it is a weird sensation to get used to when you've spent years with your hands closer together. Another wierd thing to get used to is the anti-vibe. The engine definitely jiggles and moves around a ton more than the 372, but man it makes the difference after 10 hours in the wood.
I've loved my reliable Husq 350 from 2003. I heat 100% with firewood in northern Indiana. That saw has never let me down and has kept us warm for 20 yrs.
I absolutely agree. My 350 is like a good friend. ill never sell it. Its still my go to saw and iv had it 20 years. Its cut acres of wood and to this day has excellent compression and revs out. It out cuts the 460 which is 10 years newer. Less power but its faster. Will see though...just got this 572
I know what you mean Buckin' I've ran a lot of Stihl over the years and they are great saws but there's nothing like running a sharp Husky. My main saws are a 346 xp G, 562 xp and a 572 xp G and I love them all. I own a small logging and firewood business and are running them a lot and fairly hard and they just keep going. As always thanks for the great videos and even better info.
I have the exact same saw. I love it. I did not always love it, I started to hate it. I do a lot of bucking full sized trees, one right after the other. After my saw would get hot and I turned it off I could not restart it. It would not prime and some times the fuel would boil inside the fuel tank. Now I just prime it before shutting it off. Sometimes I prime it until it dies and now its starts every time even when it is hot. That is no problem for me. I have a 28" on it now but I bought a 32" for limbing because I have some back issues and the longer bar allows me to stand upright. This is the best saw I have ever used and I am 59 and started cutting when I was 16. The heated grip is great if you cut a lot in the severe cold. PEACE.
I run a 572xp as my primary falling saw. Mine is bone stock and I do really love it. However, it took me about 10 seconds of listening to the RipSaw version as you ran it in the wood and I can hear/see a big improvement in performance. Yes, it needs a pipe to really come alive!
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith dude, you remind me so much of my late father, like yourself a faller for most of his life, but his time still had axes for brashing off. A huksi xp man through and through. for me there was not better man then my father and for him, there was no better saw than the XP. and like yourself if it was cutting steel, pocket knife, kitchen knife axe and saw chain, it was sharp, really sharp. greeting from Wales, stay safe chap

Husky vs Stihl is one of those things. I can only comment that here in Australia, we have Stihl shops and there are Husky dealers - no Husky shops. When I bought my Stihl, the shop had everything I wanted to change on the shelf and we did a this-for-that swapsies, crediting back the stock gear at parts prices and adding the extras as we went. I left within the hour with a new, genuine saw, built and demonstrated. Done. Go to a Husky dealer and you buy the whole stock saw, then they order the part you want to change. There mightn't be much between the saws in terms of "performance", but the parts and support is what does it for me. Let's get back to the video 🤙
Hi Buckin', love your videos. I'm a log home builder in the okanagan and run husky my whole life. This 572 is totally redesigned, bore went from 50mm to 48mm, stroke went from 36mm to 39mm and they put the crank bearings from the 385/390 in these new saws. Not sure if you know, this saw replaced the 576, its got more hp and torque over the 576.
The 572xp is the one saw I want brand new. It’s great. I had a 2014 390xp and it was a tank, heavy as one too. I love the old classics as well. I’d be happy with a 288xp high top and a new 572xp. Slap a full wrap on both
I got the Husqvarna 445 and it is plenty strong. It have used that for firewood the last 10-15 years, plus running a small firewood business in the winter. I have abused that little sucker in every way and when it got a little tired I bought another one. Now i keep the old saw as a backup and for emergency spare parts. That have saved me many many times.
Bought a 572xp 2 years ago as my first "real" saw for falling and its been an incredibly reliable and great saw. I prefer it over my 562, even though its a bit heavier
Just bought a new xp 572 today. 28 inch bar. Got a few cuts in on the woodpile before dark. Just frekin beautiful . If it came with a headlight i probabley would still be cutting wood tonight.. lol . I am looking forward to the bush tomorrow. Trees are gonna fall. woohoo.
Stihl 462 is a worthy contender to that 572. Performs beautifully limbing or dogged in. From a size and weight perspective it has the 572 whipped (Stihl: 13.2 lbs, 72.2 cc's, 6bhp stock/ Husky 14.5lbs, 71cc's, 5.8hp). I remember you liked running it when you were down at your Pop's place. Ripsaw, let's get Buckin' a ported 462!!
The 462 will rev higher then the 500. If you have the same sprocket on and the 461 can reach maximum revs it will beat the 500. However if your cutting bigger logs with a longer bar the 500 will win. Both great saws. It is also possible to increase a tooth on the 500 with a shorter bar which will make it win every time. It was a trick some guys would use on 660-661s with shorter bars.
Hold it to the boards! But under load, its gas pressure that forces rings to seat. How do we create an environment that promotes this? RPM & load. The bearings will soften up with time.
Thank 😢for what you do I'm a logger and you taught me so much I don't know I've even in the business for 5 years please don't stop I love you brother I hope that means something to you
I've had my 572XP for 2 years now. It actually does the work of three 455 Rancher. I do also have a 455 Rancher and it was the primary saw that did most of the felling and bucking between my dads CS590 and my uncle's 455 Rancher. Which was about 65% of the work. My 572 now does 85% of the work between 3 saws. I am looking into getting a Husqvarna 585 but installing the piston and cylinder form the 592XP. Hoep to see more of the 572XP RIPSAW. TThanks for showing us yer new saw!
Nice saw Buckin’!! I got a 592 xp g last year. Put a full wrap just like yours on it. 36” lightweight. Love it! Only thing is you need to reset the auto tune if it sits a while. 5 long passes down a log at full throttle holding the saw at a 45 degree angle. She’ll sound better
I have six chainsaws and I cut firewood from around my property to heat my home. I just picked up the 592xp, it's as little bit bigger and stronger than the one you have but not by much. I have to say it's the most dangerous saw I've ever used. I was doing the same thing, trying to cut 'smaller' logs using the tip with my foot on the log. I found it works better if you get down low and bring the log right up to the engine right by the teeth, much safer that way. Have fun and be careful!
Gudday Buckin Wen I was doing firewood , I had my chain breaker on a bench with a nail at the other end with all the different lengths of bars I used marked on the bench,drag it out put on nail mark the length needed them break . Quick & easy mate . I'm husky for life and the 300 year badge on my 2101 xp is the bomb . Love your channel
I do about 2 bushcord of hardwood a year. My 445 was a little too light for the heavy trunk cuts. I bought a Rancher 455 great for the trunk but a little too heavy for limbing/pruning. I think one needs 2 saws: light and heavy. Added bonus if one gets stuck you don't have to embarrassly ask to borrow the neighbours ha ha
That’s an amazing machine. My little 455 Rancher works great for what I need at the moment, but when the kids move out and we downgrade our house size and upgrade our property, I might need to ask Santa for one of these.
I haven't cut wood in 20 years, last log was around a 36" foot fir, firewood, in the snow, bush.. I miss it a LOT! windfall, fell across an access road and it was cut and shoved off to the side, I got it out of the way and opened up the road more, got a few very nice chopping blocks for my efforts too, my little McCullough chain saw with a 32" blade, lol.. made quick work out of it tho, about 18 feet of it in a few hours, chopped and stacked in the truck, cord n half, old first growth burned so nice got me n' my dad thru a few winters in the cook stove .. miss it, dunno where any of my cut gear is? axes, had 10 or so, chain saws, sharpeners, wedges, everything, dunno what happened to any of it? pretty sure it all got jacked and left here and there, borrowed never returned, the saw it just ended up missing.. I believe the axes or most are at my cousins or buddies house? hale I dunno
I wish I still had my grandfather's 2-man McCulloch chainsaw. He was a wiry old guy who carried and ran it all by himself. He had his own woodlot where we'd go every fall to get the seasons firewood. We'd fell the trees with a Homelite and then he'd cut it all to length with his 2-man chainsaw while I loaded it into the trailer which had been made from the box end of a 1930's pick-up truck.
I love these video posts you make! I been too busy here since winter set in chopping but all in all satisfied. You may get negative comments about saws but to each their own, if it works why make any negative comments on this awesome channel this guy knows his equipment. As I mentioned before I still use my 80's Homelite SuperXL and I love it, my backup bday present MS250 is still in the box. Lately I been cutting with my 3.5' MADE IN 🇺🇸 crosscut manual saw and I make do. Its because I'm paying $8.50 a gallon for fuel soo... all good im gaining more muscle and chopping wood is my thing. Woodstoves are a must have here and I love my crosscut manual saw also giving my Homelite a break, most people complain about the weight and my direct answer is "My saw is not for everyone." Cheers!
Wow Buckin'! It's been a minute since I last checked in. Your intro fell was outstanding. I had to use both hands to scoop my jaw off the desk at work. Keep it up. Stay safe and happy.
One of our customers got a ported 572 from us and sent pics cutting 4'+ hard maple. That stuffs extremely hard cutting and he said the saw handled it awesome
XP-G!?!? Thank goodness. The big dog can keep those hands warm and pretty even in extreme cold! Look at those mitts. Coulda been a hand model! Keep it real Buckin’! Love your videos.
I cant speak on the husky saws from ripsaw but I can speak on the 400c from ripsaw its an absolute animal for its size 67cc they did an a top tier build on it. Thank u 4 all u do brother.
My favorite orange saws are 281/288XP and 395XP. Been considering experimenting w/ the 500 generation AutoTune saws, but have been reluctant. Hope to see more vids of you breaking in and using the 572 to get your honest take on whether migrating to the new stuff is really worth it.
Love my 572xp and the 550xp… great out of the box saws… however… a tuned one like this is on another level… not many shops like Ripsaw in the UK though…
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith 18 years of tree cutting .some tough trees .butt there is something about the setup to cutt a tree thats so awesome. Or its just me.
I been running a 500i sence spring cutting timber in South western Virginia and I'm telling you I like it it holding up well and I aunt had a problem 1 with it my only complaint is the air filter has to be cleaned more often then the ms660 or ms460
West coast guy here too and totally agree about the way it feels when you start chewing away. CHAWOO. Just skookum. Funny how all lumberjacks start to sound like those old appalachain mountain men lol
Hey buckin really enjoying the videos. I have a 372 xp that has been used hard and not takin care of like needs to be. It was gifted to me by a good friend @ TC sawmills. I am wanting to send it to get “freshened up” and running RIGHT !!! It’s not an everyday saw but when I need it I need it, and not to mention I’m into hot rods and horsepower. Lol. I’ve heard you mention Iron Horse, Ripsaw, and one one other. I’m down here in south MS and trying to get a little sawmill business up and running.
I'm a Stihl guy mostly because I have a dealer close by and the closest Husky dealer is more than an hour away. I have nothing against Husky, except I really don't like having the outboard clutch and the brake in the cover. I can access the needle bearings for inspection and greasing and change the sprocket on the Stihl's much easier than it is on the Husky's and even replacing the chain is easier. That RipSaw 500i is a bucket list item for me.
I'm 60, been a firewood, logger and now 1 man tree service guy for about 30 years. Never been injured in any way ,but I've been VERY close to it. Most if my close calls are from limbing a felled large pine or fir walking through a jungle of BIG overhead limbs with a small limbing saw " after" letting off the gas and then grabbing a limb with one hand while lowering the saw down with the other hand while it's still spinning down and " zip " i cut my chaps or my hard plastic knee pads. Most close call come when I'm tired, sweaty and sore
thats a hell of a saw buckin. that knife is pretty wonderful too. very cool to hear your in depth thoughts on what makes a saw great. I still miss the old 10/10s sometimes but these things sure do rip and tear
Thats the feelin' u should have after running a 2023 state if the art Pro saw from a 300+ y\o company. It should IMPRESS a seasoned user. Many new pro saws fall short of this mark today.

I’ve been eying a 572xp for a couple years now. My go to is a 550xp and that does 90% of what I need. But man the seventy two would be nice for the bigger stuff every now and then. I don’t saw enough to really need it… but… love the Chanel
If there’s anything to say about Husqvarna is that you with get a bulletproof saw that will work for life. I have ran 372 XP for 40 years. They always have been reliable and easy to work on And you can find parts easily. But that only when it comes down to commercial grade chainsaws. But not all Husqvarna’s are good for example all the chainsaws they at Home Depot for homeowners are lemons. If you’re gonna buy a Husqvarna save your money and buy commercial chainsaw. Awesome video buckin 👍
Husqvarna is a great brand. Don’t have one of their chainsaws but do have zero turn mower from husky. Love it, you can’t go wrong with their equipment.
Can you please teach more about the rake I believe you called it please? Also can you tell us what brand files your using when you can please! Thank you for making these videos billy, your inspirational, your positive just an A+ human being! I was in a dark place with depression after a serious snowmobile accident and one day god led me to one of your videos on axes and I said to myself "huh i have a old axe from my pépé I should learn how to sharpen it instead of using cheap ones. which I found out was made in my home town between 100- 150 years ago(the years they were open). That video started my love for axes and your channel!! I proceeded to watch EVERY SINGLE video you made including your shorts lol your positive, respectful attitude helped me change my life around, THANK YOU!! Keep on BUCKIN!
Hey buddy- in a previous video you showed how the new 572xp does not like to lie on its side (for fueling), I think there’s an easy fix for that. All you need to do is change the center of gravity. Not by adding weight, but by moving the pivot point about half an inch toward the heavy side. I’ll try to put a video together on this 👍
I've been thinking about the 572xp. I recently started working for a company that clears trees for the power company. I sometimes will be felling trees, clearing brush and whatnot. I'm thinking about going with the 12 inch echo for when I'm up in the bucket a medium saw for intermediate use like an ms311 or 362 and a big saw for felling trees like the 572xp or the ms462.
I can't wait to see you lay a tree down with that saw..... people pay attention to his movements and how he holds the saw close.... it helps so much.... I've went from my whole upper body hurting when I run a saw to running it no problems. Buckin thank you so much for your knowledge. 🙏

I was so very impressed when it barked on the second pull and sat and idled on the third. That is one well put together 2 stroke. Incredible!

Just bought a new xp 572 today. 28 inch bar. Got a few cuts in on the woodpile before dark. Just frekin beautiful . If it came with a headlight i probabley would still be cutting wood tonight.. lol . I am looking forward to the bush tomorrow. Trees are gonna fall. woohoo.
Ya may have a patent there bud... A headlight on a saw I'd buy one immediately 🤣🤣🤣😎😎👍👍👍
That saw is nice, I bought a 550 xp mark ii a few years back & it is so nice to run, have a great time with it!!
I have one too! Great saw. I got a 592 xp g last summer, put a 36” lightweight bar on it. Love it!
Stihl 462 is a worthy contender to that 572. Performs beautifully limbing or dogged in. From a size and weight perspective it has the 572 whipped (Stihl: 13.2 lbs, 72.2 cc's, 6bhp stock/ Husky 14.5lbs, 71cc's, 5.8hp). I remember you liked running it when you were down at your Pop's place. Ripsaw, let's get Buckin' a ported 462!!
The 461 was/is a better saw. Touch less HP than the 462 but noticeably more torque.
@@lukereynolds9907 He actually did like it when he ran it. In fact, at the time he said it was a problem for the 500i.
@@wednesdar452he was going off of sound, in my opinion.
The 462 will rev higher then the 500. If you have the same sprocket on and the 461 can reach maximum revs it will beat the 500. However if your cutting bigger logs with a longer bar the 500 will win. Both great saws. It is also possible to increase a tooth on the 500 with a shorter bar which will make it win every time. It was a trick some guys would use on 660-661s with shorter bars.
Hold it to the boards! But under load, its gas pressure that forces rings to seat. How do we create an environment that promotes this? RPM & load. The bearings will soften up with time.
Hi Buckin, You will enjoy the 572, and your right a pipe will make a big difference. It did on mine.
Thank 😢for what you do I'm a logger and you taught me so much I don't know I've even in the business for 5 years please don't stop I love you brother I hope that means something to you
Embrace how many people you teach with your knowledge, even if it's at the expense of sponsors, as long as they're honestly reviewed! send it man!
I've had my 572XP for 2 years now. It actually does the work of three 455 Rancher. I do also have a 455 Rancher and it was the primary saw that did most of the felling and bucking between my dads CS590 and my uncle's 455 Rancher. Which was about 65% of the work.
My 572 now does 85% of the work between 3 saws.
I am looking into getting a Husqvarna 585 but installing the piston and cylinder form the 592XP.
Hoep to see more of the 572XP RIPSAW.
TThanks for showing us yer new saw!
Like always since I began watching.1000 subscribers ago...unwavering quality content. Hands down! Thank you !
Don't forget to ask Donny about setting the auto tune carb when you first start it. It makes a big difference !
Nice work Ripsaw and Buckin. Love the first cuts. Full House rock. Thank you Buckin. 🌲❤️🌲👊🪓
Unreal. That might be the best sounding saw I have heard on this channel. NICE
Nice saw Buckin’!! I got a 592 xp g last year. Put a full wrap just like yours on it. 36” lightweight. Love it! Only thing is you need to reset the auto tune if it sits a while. 5 long passes down a log at full throttle holding the saw at a 45 degree angle. She’ll sound better
I have six chainsaws and I cut firewood from around my property to heat my home. I just picked up the 592xp, it's as little bit bigger and stronger than the one you have but not by much. I have to say it's the most dangerous saw I've ever used. I was doing the same thing, trying to cut 'smaller' logs using the tip with my foot on the log. I found it works better if you get down low and bring the log right up to the engine right by the teeth, much safer that way. Have fun and be careful!
Beautiful saw! Good to see appreciation for well made saws, axes etc. Love the videos
I'm about 4-6 weeks out from getting my 372xp back from rip saw. I can't freaking wait.
Oh yeah buddy x tork?
The x-tork ruined the 372 hopefully it's the original, my first ever saw was original 372, now im 572 560 and the goat 390xp
Been running a 572 for three years love it.
Gudday Buckin
Wen I was doing firewood ,
I had my chain breaker on a bench with a nail at the other end with all the different lengths of bars I used marked on the bench,drag it out put on nail mark the length needed them break .
Quick & easy mate .
I'm husky for life and the 300 year badge on my 2101 xp is the bomb .
Love your channel
I do about 2 bushcord of hardwood a year. My 445 was a little too light for the heavy trunk cuts. I bought a Rancher 455 great for the trunk but a little too heavy for limbing/pruning. I think one needs 2 saws: light and heavy. Added bonus if one gets stuck you don't have to embarrassly ask to borrow the neighbours ha ha
3rd pull! That smile says it all!. Great video buddy.
That’s an amazing machine. My little 455 Rancher works great for what I need at the moment, but when the kids move out and we downgrade our house size and upgrade our property, I might need to ask Santa for one of these.

I haven't cut wood in 20 years, last log was around a 36" foot fir, firewood, in the snow, bush.. I miss it a LOT! windfall, fell across an access road and it was cut and shoved off to the side, I got it out of the way and opened up the road more, got a few very nice chopping blocks for my efforts too, my little McCullough chain saw with a 32" blade, lol.. made quick work out of it tho, about 18 feet of it in a few hours, chopped and stacked in the truck, cord n half, old first growth burned so nice got me n' my dad thru a few winters in the cook stove .. miss it, dunno where any of my cut gear is? axes, had 10 or so, chain saws, sharpeners, wedges, everything, dunno what happened to any of it? pretty sure it all got jacked and left here and there, borrowed never returned, the saw it just ended up missing.. I believe the axes or most are at my cousins or buddies house? hale I dunno
Bought my Husqvarna 572 XP back in 2019. I also doctor the chain to make it cut like I want. Great saw.
Chains definitely cut better as you file and love my husky's been running them since the early 90's
By far my favorite Buckin episode!
I wish I still had my grandfather's 2-man McCulloch chainsaw. He was a wiry old guy who carried and ran it all by himself. He had his own woodlot where we'd go every fall to get the seasons firewood. We'd fell the trees with a Homelite and then he'd cut it all to length with his 2-man chainsaw while I loaded it into the trailer which had been made from the box end of a 1930's pick-up truck.
I love these video posts you make! I been too busy here since winter set in chopping but all in all satisfied. You may get negative comments about saws but to each their own, if it works why make any negative comments on this awesome channel this guy knows his equipment.
As I mentioned before I still use my 80's Homelite SuperXL and I love it, my backup bday present MS250 is still in the box. Lately I been cutting with my 3.5' MADE IN 🇺🇸 crosscut manual saw and I make do. Its because I'm paying $8.50 a gallon for fuel soo... all good im gaining more muscle and chopping wood is my thing. Woodstoves are a must have here and I love my crosscut manual saw also giving my Homelite a break, most people complain about the weight and my direct answer is "My saw is not for everyone." Cheers!
Wow Buckin'! It's been a minute since I last checked in. Your intro fell was outstanding. I had to use both hands to scoop my jaw off the desk at work. Keep it up. Stay safe and happy.
One of our customers got a ported 572 from us and sent pics cutting 4'+ hard maple. That stuffs extremely hard cutting and he said the saw handled it awesome
XP-G!?!? Thank goodness. The big dog can keep those hands warm and pretty even in extreme cold! Look at those mitts. Coulda been a hand model! Keep it real Buckin’! Love your videos.
Hi Buckin!! Being a leader is good but I'm going to follow your lead your a good man Buckin thanks for changing my life!!
your a good man
I bought the 572xp about 8 months ago and it is by far my favorite of all I've owned, borrowed or ran. Next is the 550xp mk ii, then maybe the 592.
Try a JRed 2253 or 2260,
Same!!! Going same order as you! Except I've had my 572xp awhile.
My dad used to always prove to me how sharp his knives were by shaving a spot on his arm. I miss that thanks for reminding me
Buckin,that’s a great saw you’re working with love your laughter ❤🪵👍🇨🇦😊
Good ta see ya todd
I swear there's a :-) in that big round that you were cutting on!
Great saw I hope it serves you well buckin
I cant speak on the husky saws from ripsaw but I can speak on the 400c from ripsaw its an absolute animal for its size 67cc they did an a top tier build on it. Thank u 4 all u do brother.
My favorite orange saws are 281/288XP and 395XP. Been considering experimenting w/ the 500 generation AutoTune saws, but have been reluctant. Hope to see more vids of you breaking in and using the 572 to get your honest take on whether migrating to the new stuff is really worth it.
We had to invent the wheel someday someway
Using 550xp since 2014 without any issues whatsoever. Just get one, you will see😊
why wood you migrate when you have both brother 😁
I have a 550 and 572 and love them.
Love my 572xp and the 550xp… great out of the box saws… however… a tuned one like this is on another level… not many shops like Ripsaw in the UK though…
my buddy has a fella if ya like
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith in the UK? Who’s that please?
Good afternoon Buckin
hope you are having a great day and staying cool. Got may shirt and decals came today. Very high quality. Have a great weekend
Thank you for saying so friend. Most importantly, thx for the choice to be kind to me . It will be met with the same 😊
Good to see buckin getting some perks from these companies, if anyone deserves it, its big buckin fs
Uncle buckin.i have 61 hasqvarna saw and im running it for 3 years and power is still alive. 🎉
very good you must be good at it
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith 18 years of tree cutting .some tough trees .butt there is something about the setup to cutt a tree thats so awesome. Or its just me.
That 572xp is by far my favorite chainsaw ever! By far!
Nice
I been running a 500i sence spring cutting timber in South western Virginia and I'm telling you I like it it holding up well and I aunt had a problem 1 with it my only complaint is the air filter has to be cleaned more often then the ms660 or ms460
That trick to untangle the chain was fantastic! You have saved minutes of my life my friend.
West coast guy here too and totally agree about the way it feels when you start chewing away. CHAWOO. Just skookum. Funny how all lumberjacks start to sound like those old appalachain mountain men lol
Hey buckin really enjoying the videos. I have a 372 xp that has been used hard and not takin care of like needs to be. It was gifted to me by a good friend @ TC sawmills. I am wanting to send it to get “freshened up” and running RIGHT !!! It’s not an everyday saw but when I need it I need it, and not to mention I’m into hot rods and horsepower. Lol. I’ve heard you mention Iron Horse, Ripsaw, and one one other. I’m down here in south MS and trying to get a little sawmill business up and running.
the only recommendation I have is Ripsaw as a legitimate business , But dont believe their takin' used saws. everyone needs boards buddy good luck
I guarantee it Matt Mann. If anybody knows power saws it’s Buckin!!!! Love the channel
When you get that chain dialed exactly where you want, it feels great. It's almost painful when you find metal or rock in the cut.
Nice to see a hucky. Keep her sharp what ever the brand and she will see you right. I love that chain to. 👍
Love this guys attitude. Wish I knew people like him.
you will friend ,, teach them how to treat you ..with love
Whatever it takes to keep spreading your message! Thank you Ripsaw! Love you all! ❤️✊
Glad yer here
I'm a Stihl guy mostly because I have a dealer close by and the closest Husky dealer is more than an hour away. I have nothing against Husky, except I really don't like having the outboard clutch and the brake in the cover. I can access the needle bearings for inspection and greasing and change the sprocket on the Stihl's much easier than it is on the Husky's and even replacing the chain is easier.
That RipSaw 500i is a bucket list item for me.
I run a 572xp and 550xp mk2 and love them both, have modded the mufflers on both and it made a noticeable difference.
What muffler mod do you use on the 550 mkII?
@@TheGreatTed drilled a hole through the baffle pipe and enlarged the exit hole, nothing major but certainly made it flow better.
I'm 60, been a firewood, logger and now 1 man tree service guy for about 30 years. Never been injured in any way ,but I've been VERY close to it. Most if my close calls are from limbing a felled large pine or fir walking through a jungle of BIG overhead limbs with a small limbing saw " after" letting off the gas and then grabbing a limb with one hand while lowering the saw down with the other hand while it's still spinning down and " zip " i cut my chaps or my hard plastic knee pads. Most close call come when I'm tired, sweaty and sore
thats a hell of a saw buckin. that knife is pretty wonderful too. very cool to hear your in depth thoughts on what makes a saw great. I still miss the old 10/10s sometimes but these things sure do rip and tear
they will always be here friend
Love Husqvarna, what a nice saw. Great video Buckin
A super awesome piece of machinery Buckin’!! Can’t wait to see what it does with a pipe!! Wahoo!!
Me too
Thats the feelin' u should have after running a 2023 state if the art Pro saw from a 300+ y\o company. It should IMPRESS a seasoned user. Many new pro saws fall short of this mark today.
Found you from Essential Craftsman. I've been watching non stop since. Love your videos.
What did I win?
@@MikeChukplease beware of scammers pretending to be buckin in the comments! And welcome to the buckin army 🪖💪spread the love increase the peace!

Purchased me a small MS194 along with a 14" bar yesterday. Cheers Buckn your inspiring dude
glad yer here friend
I’ve been eying a 572xp for a couple years now. My go to is a 550xp and that does 90% of what I need. But man the seventy two would be nice for the bigger stuff every now and then. I don’t saw enough to really need it… but… love the Chanel
If there’s anything to say about Husqvarna is that you with get a bulletproof saw that will work for life. I have ran 372 XP for 40 years. They always have been reliable and easy to work on And you can find parts easily. But that only when it comes down to commercial grade chainsaws. But not all Husqvarna’s are good for example all the chainsaws they at Home Depot for homeowners are lemons. If you’re gonna buy a Husqvarna save your money and buy commercial chainsaw. Awesome video buckin 👍
Shes a ripper!! Nice work Ripsaw
Husqvarna is a great brand. Don’t have one of their chainsaws but do have zero turn mower from husky. Love it, you can’t go wrong with their equipment.
Buckin’. The editing is getting pretty darn good my friend. Keep up the good work.
I have a older 038 Magnum Stihl,made in Germany 72 or 73cc .One of the best Chainsaw i ever had,One of a kind.😊
Can you please teach more about the rake I believe you called it please? Also can you tell us what brand files your using when you can please! Thank you for making these videos billy, your inspirational, your positive just an A+ human being! I was in a dark place with depression after a serious snowmobile accident and one day god led me to one of your videos on axes and I said to myself "huh i have a old axe from my pépé I should learn how to sharpen it instead of using cheap ones. which I found out was made in my home town between 100- 150 years ago(the years they were open). That video started my love for axes and your channel!! I proceeded to watch EVERY SINGLE video you made including your shorts lol your positive, respectful attitude helped me change my life around, THANK YOU!! Keep on BUCKIN!
We had a Stihl 880 come through the shop last week. Impressive. Saws like these are beasts.
Cheers RIPSAW you've made my evening ✊💨💨💨
Coffee + Donuts + Buckin' Billy Ray video = Perfect Saturday Morning
That’s exactly what I need!! To much money for me though…. Guess the 24” on 30” trees will have to do. Congratulations on that saw though!
Hey buddy- in a previous video you showed how the new 572xp does not like to lie on its side (for fueling), I think there’s an easy fix for that. All you need to do is change the center of gravity. Not by adding weight, but by moving the pivot point about half an inch toward the heavy side. I’ll try to put a video together on this 👍
I've been thinking about the 572xp. I recently started working for a company that clears trees for the power company. I sometimes will be felling trees, clearing brush and whatnot. I'm thinking about going with the 12 inch echo for when I'm up in the bucket a medium saw for intermediate use like an ms311 or 362 and a big saw for felling trees like the 572xp or the ms462.
More saws more better; buy them all, plus back ups
My all around right now for firewood and pulp out Eastern US is my Jonsered 2153. Limbing, maple for the winter does it all
I can use it all day and not be beaten up.
That said my 272xp made me much money in the woods
Can't wait to see what you're gonna do with that saw buckin
That Saw is super Sweet and I love watching you run it!
I hope Husqvarna will get my 562XP running correctly because I love running it too
