I had chaps but didn't like the belt around my guts. I got rid of them and replaced them with Bib and brace chainsaw overalls. I was pretty slack safety wise and have a couple of cuts in pants which would have been nasty if a hair deeper. When your cutting remotely on your own a chainsaw bite would mean disaster.

Personally I don't burn cottonwood, to much ash in the stove. However, not long ago one fell and blocked half the highway. Some firewood guys showed up to help the road crew get it out of the road. The stump that uprooted was 15 feet below the road grade, 😆. These guys showed up with 20" bar saws to cut a stump that was almost 6'. I drove home and got a couple man size saws so they could cut the root ball off and buck it.
That sure is one nice lady there TinMan. I just took my 576xp Autotune running a 24" .404 bar and chain off the shelf this past weekend and cut a big truck load of hard Maple that was 41" on the base in 90 to 95 degree heat. Mine has a little work done on it, opened the transfers up a little, base gasket delete, decomp plug and a gutted muffler, first time she's been used since Jan. 2019. Fueled and oiled her up and 5 pulls later she's purring like a wild cat. As you know I love the 575/576 series, great power, big tourqe and they won't beat you to death. Be Safe and Take Care Brother.👍
Just got that feeling when u reached for ur tuning wand and didnt need it, I'd do same thing, just had to...put to rest family pet for long time and I just reached out to rub him and he wernt there...just like them carb jets ..miss my boy
I've just gotten my hands on a 576xp. Had to replace a few parts on it, including the chain brake handle which had actually melted. Testement to how hot they run. I replaced the muffler but after watching this I might just make a pipe for it. Cheers for the content 👍
Výborné video 👍This saw served me from 2009 until this spring. This saw cut and felled an average of 10 m3 of oak and other hard wood per day.) On 50 cm logs for fuel) The bites were probably due to low-quality gasoline. I've only used XP oil all my life, but the gasoline has been pretty poor lately. My Suzuki intruder also has a problem with it :) I have the saw disassembled and I am about to order a set of Hyway titanium nickel. Hopefully the crankshaft will be ok. It's my favorite saw and I'd love to get advice on that cylinder from Hyway.
How awesome would it be? Seeing this saw ported, and with an updated software for the auto tune as afleetcommand and his friends are fiddling with. But with your skills, I bet this saw can conpeat with the ported 572xp wich Bjarne Butler is running these days🤞 I'm a bit biased though, I've just broken in a a stock 572xpg 2018 prod with a full comp 3/8 0.58 on a 7 rim. It chews everything with ease, and I love that saw. Thanks for all the awesome videos Tinman😁
nice to know you can open up the muffler some…and the autotune compensates for this. I got a 555, and haven’t done anything to it, aside from putting on a longer bar, and turning up the oiler. Cuts great, but seeing others do muffler mods successfully on autotunes….I think I might try to open up the muffler a bit! Thanx for the video!
Thanks for the video on this saw and giving us a run down on the pros and cons of this saw. It will definitely help as I am in the market for another saw.
Good man TinMan 👍and great job being a role model for new comers and new cutters because it is better to be safe then it is to be sorry and u missing a leg or arm from a mistake that could've been avoided. So even my advice to the new commers and cutters please please just take quick moment friend's and put them on and be safe out there it makes all the difference.
I never thought that I would ever own an Autotune or Mtronic saw but I pulled the trigger on a Husky 565. I gotta admit, it’s nice not to have to tune the carb for different temps and carry a screwdriver everywhere. The plug is always coffee brown when I check it. Always starts no matter what easily.
6 min 40 sec tinman looks like a giant grabbing that stud by the trunk and yanking that tree right out the other one lol pause it and look tinman looks like the big warm bundle of paul bunyan
Tinman. Buckin makes it look easy don’t he. Yes he does. I hate cutting rotten hollow logs and trees. Not fun. Anyway like the video sr. Be safe love what you do and god bless.
Good placement! And those are baby logs bud should come out when we get 24+ cotton and bass wood for carving and dead lifting it into the truck, paps gives me flack everytime 😂
I have a 2018 non auto tune hightop 576xp. I really like it so far. I have 2 questions. Is that cylinder design unique to only the 576 and what's involved with that muffler mod/tools needed. Sounds like it's a much needed mod. Thanks Tinman!
Yep a 576 is a 576, only saw built on that chassis that I'm aware of. The muff mod is pretty involved, as theres lots of stuff inside from the factory.
I don't play well in the heat. Its going to be over 100 every day down here in Northern nevada for the next 10 days. I think I'll switch to night shift!
Every time I see a 70cc class saw ran, I get the itch. I rarely get into truly big wood to warrant breaking out the 394, but often do because it's just so entertaining to run in even moderate sized wood (15-20"). Yes my echo 590 will definitely handle that size wood with ease, but it's definitely not as optimized for the ±20" wood as a 70cc saw is. And often it's faster in that size wood than a 394 due to it making its peak power higher in the rpm scale resulting in higher chain speed. That being said my 8-pin setup on the 394 negates that. But an 18lb saw cutting the same speed as saw at about 23lb will definitely be more enjoyable to run for longer periods. I'm not 18yr old and full of piss and vinegar anymore. Hell, I often run my little muffler modded jonsered 2245 in wood up to about 8-10" just because it weighs 13lb ready to cut, and it's a little screamer.
@@tinmanssaws I grew up in a wood burning household. Two of my brothers and my parents heat their houses with wood. And in my younger years, I'd sold stovewood along with my father and brother. My saws now no longer get anywhere near enough run time to warrant buying more... But I'm always on the lookout for a good deal and have jumped on them hear and there. Like the Husqvarna 50 I got for free from an older fellow who posted it on Facebook marketplace. Said he couldn't get it running and was done messing with it. He had put a new plug in it but couldn't get it started. He had is flooded out terribly. I pulled the plug, dumped out the cylinder, put the plug back in and it still runs just like new. It's not anything special but by God the price was right. Haha
I did the same muffler mod on my 576 and it melted a hole thru the chain brake handle. I had to braze on a longer deflector to direct the exhaust straight forward.
Is that a 32” bar? Looks like a lot of bar??? I just got one of these 576’s and it’s got a little scuffed piston... I found the rubber grommet to take it back to a regular carburetor and I’ve been thinking that a 372 Xtorq carburetor would fit and fuel? After I got it ... you gotta fabricate a little crane for that tailgate... so it’s easier on your lower back, brother! I have the auto tune 576 I need to toss the new piston into it?? I’m
Too bad a feller doesn’t have a skid steer with a bucket.. lol. Keep up the good work tinman, watch that back buddy.. my 575 carby is absolutely perfect, yes a tad heavy, it’s 390 weight which was the problem I think. Super smooth antivibe..
The 576 is a good saw however not a great saw. It does take well to the muffler mod. I have logged for over 30 years and wont run a saw without chaps helmet. The chaps of course protect from the saw but also from blackberries thornapples prickly ash etc.
572 or 6? On buckn channel he and donnie do a vid of the new 500 series ported and walkerized...its...well buckn had a massive smile using it, a BIG SMILE can u imagine that thing rung up roudy...shew..goodness, I would like to run the 500i and the autotunes never even seen one lol
Good on ya for bustin out one of those "think for themselves" saws. I have never run one but I have seen video where those units can compensate for some pretty extreme situations, like a bad crank seal... or at least keep the saw running. I'm not a faller either. That one heavy leaner you showed with the visible split in it looks like a prime candidate for a gnarly barber chair. Would this be a good candidate for bore cutting?
The reason I’m asking is I have only two large sauce at 361 with a 25 inch bar and it has a regular chain on it from steel and an MS 500 die which has a skip tooth chain on it that was the only two large size I have
Great video Tinman, I've got a Stihl 034 that is hard to start when it's cold and once it's warmed up it is OK to start. any ideas what could be the cause? Cheers mate.
Some saws are just finicky when they are cold or hot and just stubborn to start at the best of times. For example My buddies sthil 250 when he started it gave him such a hard time. Also some saws have a different method or methods to starting them if anything give your manual a go over again if came with one. Or if need be phone up the supplier and have them run u through it again so u can refresh yourself on it.
Never in the autotune mood...not against them just not got or used one, I'm still in the 300 series husqys, an 000s in stihls no c-m or nothin...would be definitely a new experience, I will say...no lectric saw...ever lol green new deal my behind...my saws live beside the pews pews and neither are leaving long as I got breath
tin man good man on the chaps ,,straight up
Hey bucking hope u have great Thursday and rest of the week.
Thumbs up for the chaps Tinman 👍
chaps are good. Being left hand when get tired at the end of day I swing it close to my leg. Right hand people swing away for there leg.
Its those tired end of day cuts where ya touch your leg for sure. Chaps are just smart..
Good call on the chaps.We don't wanna see the Tinman chainsaw injury video.Stay cool buddy.
I had chaps but didn't like the belt around my guts. I got rid of them and replaced them with Bib and brace chainsaw overalls.

Hot here to bud i messed my back up 2nd time this year im stuck at home 4 not but definitely feel for everyone in this heat.
Have and l love mine,glad your doing a video on one
Its 95 plus heat index at 112 in Pennsylvania

I really love the 576 XP!
In my opinion this is one of the best Powersaws.
nothing like a good workout
