Video

This video was probably posted before the latest update. It probably didn't have systematic cutting yet

I my opinion just to operate it is far easier, more intuitive. It has a steering wheel and a fwd and a rev foot peddle to make it very similar to operating any standard vehicle. Nearly any one who drives could jump on, with minimal training, and just go for it. I find that for me comfort and operator ergonomics better on the Husqvarna. Also there are a lot less regular maintenance points on the Husqvarna which saves my time each day.

@@noelelliott ok thanks for your reply, im thinking of getting a second hand one low hours ,i have a zforce cub cadet side throw and need a catcher mower too,so cheers!

@@noelelliott im finding the big back on it hits alot of things and the catcher is quite brittle

No it is way more sophisticated than that. Just on the mowing pattern random is one of many. The others are parallel, checkerboard and triangle.

Hi Jack thanks for your comments. Yes it did work beyond what was stated, by a fair margin, which was very pleasing. If it does ever stop in an area that Husqvarna says it is not guaranteed to work, this was rare in our experience, then the satellites may not be at the right position just at that particular point in time for that exact spot. No biggy just move it to the open and restart. For sure let us know what your experiences are with the new EPOS and how it performs in your situation.

@@noelelliott I installed it in my back yard and its working great so far

Thanks for the feedback Sean. Installing the reference station on the roof was quite easy as all I needed to do was to clamp it our existing TV aerial and then run the power cable down to an outside power point. Yes there was heaps of cable for that with lots to spare.

@@noelelliott Brilliant news, thanks for taking the time to reply.

Yes here in Australia Husqvarna also did away with the tool less chain adjuster just after this video was made. The rest of the chainsaw has not changed here in Oz and it remains a favourite among discerning, price conscious users who want a light weight saw for a variety of uses from just pruning to small time fire wooding.

Yeah great second saw for fire wooding, it punches well above its weight out in the bush.

Yes it was quite the supprise. Since this video we have demoed the Rider Collect in some very heavy conditions. The worst was at a government sponsored pasture trial. The grass they needed to collect and weigh was very thick and between 300mm and 400mm high. I cant say the mower handled it with ease because it didn't as it was damn hard work but it did do the job as we drove it very slow so everything could keep up. The lush pasture grass we were collecting was long, tough, heavy and quite wet but the Rider Collect ran rings around the other machine they were trying to use.

@@noelelliott do you have that video

@@thecuttingforce No unfortunately the guy who took the video didn't forward it onto me and now he has moved on.

What fucking language is that?

большое тебе спасибо Вероника

Husqvarna uses a crosscut chain, I think it cuts a little faster than any of the other top brands in it's class

16😄

Thanks, we have more planned but it is now just a matter of getting time to do them. Stay tuned.

Hi - That is great feedback thanks.

Hi Tomislav sorry we missed your comment when it came in. Anyhow to answer your question we use only genuine Husqvarna chain and bar oil and we find that the 450 chain lubrication system works extremely well. The timber we cut here in Australia for firewood is very hard and very dry and the 450 handles it with ease.

Great saw that really puts out in the bush when you are going hard to get as much done in a day as possible. Be that as professional fallers or the weekend warriors getting firewood to keep their family warm over winter. Thumbs up for your CZcams channel as well.

There is new hybrid rider with Li-Ion batteries, but it is 500 series, so it is BIG and expensive rider for professionals... Remember, that Li-Ion batteries are expensive, so battery only rider witth Li-Ion batteries will be very expensive too... :/

Hi Alexey. The timber we are cutting there is Jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata) an Australian hardwood. The log we used in the video had been dead for many many years and was recovered from a local farmers paddock, so well seasoned and extra hard. Jarrah is an excellent firewood timber, tough and strong long lasting construction timber and a very beautiful furniture timber.

@@dickspringfield9106 i had a 562xp that shat itself when the piston ring pin came lose and destroyed the whole topend when it was just out of warranty. i got it repaired then i hear all about these crank bearing failures so i sold it while it was still in one piece . At first i thought i had just got a lemon but i had talked to a lot of people who have had similar experiences which prompted me to sell it.

Aah sweet, you will love it.

Hi Ah Yes Husqvarna manufacture components and in many facilities around the world. They will then ship them to one of their plants for final manufacture and assembly. The Husqvarna 395XP is a very good and robust chainsaw, you will enjoy its performance for many years to come.

@@noelelliott .thank you for your reply. Because its made in sao Carlos BRAZIL would the 395xp be as good as made in Sweden

@@AH-hi7jg Yes it will be as all the components are made in the same factories and I'm sure just the assembly process is conducted in Husqvarna's Brazilian factory.

@@noelelliott thank you for your reply 👍👍

Hi WC the bar used on that saw was a 16" bar cutting an 18" log. As you can see it did it quite well and only cutting from one side. Can you fit a longer bar? Yes. Is it advisable to fit a longer bar? No. This is a small 40cc chainsaw that has been built as a light weight all purpose saw with its optimum bar length at 16". If you go bigger than this you will take too much of the available power away from cutting and put it towards driving the extra length of chain around a much longer bar. By doing this performance and operator satisfaction are both affected negatively.

Hi madrx2. Great question. This saw is aimed at the semi professional user like farmers, fencing contractors, firewood collectors etc. It is not an "XP" saw. All the XP saws are designed and built the be used hard ALL day every day. The 562XP, for example is a great saw with excellent power to weight ratio. It has been built to more exacting specifications, finer tolerances, better balancing of all moving parts and more. It is like taking a super street car and turning it into a competitive race car, everything is tricked up and taken to the next level. You will be able to see that when we load the next video on the 572XP cutting the same log immediately afterwards. The 572XP looks the same, except for a bigger air filter, is seemingly the same engine and other components but performs at lot better, near 20% in our trial.

@@noelelliott Thankyou for your great in-depth reply. Really appreciate it. It must be fun getting to play around with all these great new tool. All the best.

@@noelelliott If the XPs are built to finer tolerances then why does the engine components on the 565 and 572xp share the same part numbers?

@@johnwalt3504 Aah yes great question. The piston (and many other parts) are the same but important bits like the cylinder, crankcase assy, carburetor, air filter, ignition module etc are different making the 572XP an "XP" model chainsaw.

@@noelelliott 372 xp czy 565 xp ?

Ciao - circa 3 volte la velocità normale

@@noelelliott Grazie e Saluti, Parli Italiano?

I was using the BLi200 batteries which are 5.2 Ahrs and 180 Whrs. Husqvarna now have a BLi300, just released, which is 9.4 Ahrs and 335 Whrs. If I had of used this model battery I could have done the whole job on a single battery.

A 335 Wh should cut an impressive amount. I use about 500 Wh to cut a pickup load. I use a little more that two sets of Makita's which are 216 hrs per set. Makita uses a set of 2 small tool batteries. Two 335 Wh batteries would cut a hell of load.HUSQVARNA is a good brand.

@@geraldmoore6257 Hi That is an excellent comparison and good feedback, thanks.

Hi Ben, yes the videos that we do are to show exactly how good the Husqvarna machinery is and what it is capable of. Just telling someone what a machine does is one thing but when they see it actually doing it it brings a whole new dimension to the product. Yes definitely mention us, we do know a lot of other Husqvarna dealers around Oz.

Yes our Australian hardwoods are amongst the hardest in the world

G'day Peter yes it did and even I, being a petrol saw pro from way further back than I care remember, was more than impressed. So much so it is now my go to saw for those small and sometimes medium jobs that just need doing. No more fuel mixes, ever, no stale fuel dramas, no engine servicing with its associated costs, no prolonged start up procedures and yeah I could go on but you get the point. long term just a great investment.

Yup starting to feel good. I have a couple of Stihls which are bulletproof but I'm getting too old to crank the big one over even with compression pressure relief on... Hence the large battery Husqvarna maybe the goods for me.

Hi the wood is Australian Jarrah which is a native to the south west of Australia and it is a hardwood, a very hard wood

i thought the 440 was a 40cc saw

Hi 0x00zero the longer bar was just for giggles but let me address your comment on the slow cutting speed. The video was done to show that having a big chainsaw is not the way to go in smaller sized timber. Let me explain. The slow cutting speed comes from the fact that the 3120XP has a rev limiter so it cannot over rev. What this means is that the max chain speed is limited ie it just wont scream out like other saws when the load is a lot lighter than it is designed to handle. Also the 3120XP runs a 0.404in saw chain which means it has approx 20% less cutting teeth per foot of chain than a 0.325 chain does. So therefore when you multiply the slower chain speed and less cutters per foot together and cut a small log which doesn't require just raw power to pull the chain through at max rpm you cannot help but to get a slower cutting speed. Check out the two videos at czcams.com/play/PL_VIr09L3-8TlPUxc0MeIkzeEfrvMYn8b.html and you will see that in a bigger log, 650mm, that the 3120XP is nearly 30% faster than the 395XP (the second biggest Husqvarna chainsaw). Also we did test cuts in the bigger log (video not uploaded) that you see in those videos and the 395XP was a good 45 secs slower in the 900mm log than the 3120XP for only just one cut. This is where the sheer power of the 3120XP come into its own. I hope this clarifies a few things for you.

Hi Thanks for the feedback. We are looking into reloading the video with a couple more normal speed sections.
