Frequently asked questions

What makes the 572 XP® the best choice for professional logging?

The 572 XP® is designed for maximum productivity in heavy-duty felling. It delivers a massive 5.8 hp and a high-speed chain velocity of 93.5 fts, allowing it to cut 12% faster than previous 70cc models. Its engine is tuned for rapid acceleration and sustained torque, ensuring that it doesn't bog down even when buried in the largest hardwoods.

How does the 572 XP® handle high temperatures during full-day shifts?

The 572 XP® features a state-of-the-art cooling system with a heat shield and optimized airflow. The cylinder fins and crankcase are designed to dissipate heat rapidly, while AutoTune™ 2.0 constantly adjusts the fuel mix to prevent overheating. This allows the saw to maintain peak performance during 8-hour shifts in high-heat environments without the risk of engine damage or power loss.

What is the maximum bar length recommended for the Husqvarna 572 XP®?

While optimized for a 20-inch to 24-inch bar for maximum agility, the 572 XP® has the torque and oiling capacity to run up to a 28-inch bar for large-diameter felling. For loggers working in massive timber, the 572 XP® provides the "big saw" power needed for deep cuts without the excessive weight of an 80cc or 90cc powerhead.

Is the 572 XP® too heavy for technical tree work and limbing?

Despite its 70.6cc power, the 572 XP® is remarkably slim and well-balanced, weighing just 14.5 lbs (powerhead only). It features a narrow saw body and a low center of gravity, making it surprisingly agile for limbing. Combined with LowVib® dampeners, it significantly reduces the physical strain on the operator, allowing for more precise control and longer working intervals.
