- 572xp - 12 seconds / cut
500i - 11 seconds / cut
Husqvarna 572xp Vs Stihl 500i timed cuts in ash, both with Stihl light bars and unfiled Stihl Hexa 3/8 chain.
Hope you enjoyed watching and please consider subscribing if you did!
Pretty much a half second slower every time for the 572xp. I'd take that for the better build quality.
Yeah amazing how repeatable it is isn't it!
I have a 572, and it is a heavy old saw, but also very well built and extremely easy to start, cold or warm. Used to have a Stihl 462, which IMO is the natural competitor to the 572, and that was somewhat lighter and had a snappier torque curve. Have a preference for Husqvarna
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I really want to try a 462!!
You can’t beat the power/weight ratio of the 500i, but I just like the smoothness of the Husqvarna, better air filtration, caps don’t leak, and it just feels built a little better
Both very good pointS! Thanks for taking the time to comment
Been debating between the 572xp, 500i and ms462c for firewood. Currently have a 272xp but want to switch to stihl for dealer support. Husqvarna dealers are disappearing all around me. Is 500i worth the premium?
@@mark5821 in a way it depends on how big your firewood is.. but in another way, imagine something with the power of a 390xp or dolmar 7900 that weighs the same as a 560xp!
Have both of those saws can't compare them, 2 great saws
You're a lucky man! Both great saws.
Keep the great videos coming friend from Scotland 😊 Stihl all ways champ
Thanks for continuing to watch and comment Iain, I really appreciate it. Hope you're well.
@@walkerscountrylife thank you friend am doing well hope your well and family
@@iainpaton1865 all.good thankyou. Hope the same.for you.
Great love a race video as you say there are so many variables to think of in a race. I think a ported saw from Artur would be great for the channel.
Yeah I'm very interested to see what he can do with it. I picked up my 365 special last night and after running all these stock saws it was like a firework in my hands!! 🔥
They"re both great saws, possibly over a day of cutting, the 572 will use a bit less juice by not richening itself up to save itself 🤔
572 is auto tune don't forget mate... But yeah it's definitely better on fuel. 500i is a drinker!
😁👊RD
Yer bars gona make small difference. Like em both. Thanks
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it
Very interesting. I think for me its still the 500 for me more cc's and less weight are just dominating factors.
I didnt think it would be that close though! Excellent content sir.
Yeah I'm surprised how close it is. Glad you enjoyed it 🙌
I chose an MS 462 over a 572 because of the weight, I am a big Husky fan. I wonder if they will ever try and compete with the 500i?
@@patrickvennard838 That's a very valid reason to guide your choice.
I'm not sure husqy will try to compete with it to be honest. I think they are focusing on the battery powered saws market. Who knows though!
The 500i has 10% more displacement
It's actually more, 12.8% I make it! But not 12.8% faster cut speed. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it.
Yeah hard to go wrong with either of those saws. Who you getting the 572 ported by??
There's not many UK porters, but I think I've found a good one. A guy called Artur Rodak.
I think a ported saw from Artur would be great for the channel.
500s seem pretty reliable an like that.
Yeah they seem so so far
Sthil💪
🤘💪
Stihl rule
it ash and use the same bar on both saw to make it fair
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, yes it's ash.. I'm bad a tree ID..
Isn't the 572XP about 500-700 dollars less (American) money?
I don't know, here in the UK they retail for similar money (around £1200 each)
The 500i is right around $400 more than the 572xp
Put a Steadfast Forestry muffler on the 572! 10% horsepower gain. Easy upgrade!!
👍🆙JW
Morning Doc!
@@walkerscountrylife Morning!
Looks very close to me , couldn’t pick between them tbh
@@danturner3575 😁👊DT
500i se n’est pas 80 cc mais 90cc
Thanks for your comment! Maybe go and check the shihl website 👍
It is 79.2 CC
Stihl is lighter, faster, and stronger. Really in a class all its own.
