Frequently asked questions

Why did Husqvarna choose a needle carburetor for the 585 instead of AutoTune™?

The 585 is purposefully designed for professionals working in remote, off-grid environments where digital diagnostic tools are unavailable. The manually adjustable needle carburetor allows loggers to fine-tune the engine's performance on-site to account for local fuel quality, high altitudes, or specific bar lengths. It provides the "old-school" reliability and field-repairability that traditionalists demand without sacrificing modern 90cc-class power.

How does the Husqvarna 585 performance compare to the legendary 390 XP®?

The 585 is the official successor to the 390 XP®, delivering a massive 17% higher cutting capacity. While it maintains the mechanical feel of the 390, it features a redesigned X-Torq® engine (6.9 hp) that offers significantly more torque and better fuel efficiency. Additionally, the vibration levels have been drastically reduced, making it a much more comfortable "all-day" saw than its predecessor.

Can the Husqvarna 585 run on high-ethanol gasoline blends?

Yes. The 585 is engineered to be exceptionally resilient to varying fuel qualities. Its engine components and carburetor are designed to handle up to 25% ethanol content, making it a safer bet for professionals in regions where high-quality, ethanol-free fuel is difficult to source. This robustness prevents the fuel-system degradation often seen in older pro saws when using modern pump gas.

Since the 585 is a manual-tune saw, can it still be diagnosed digitally?

Yes. The 585 features a Service Connector, providing a "hybrid" approach to maintenance. While you tune the carburetor manually in the field, a dealer can plug the saw into a digital diagnostic tool to view run-time data, error codes, and overall engine health. This allows fleet managers to track maintenance schedules with precision while their crews enjoy the simplicity of a manual engine.

What is the maximum bar length the 585 can pull through dense hardwoods?

The Husqvarna 585 is a heavy-timber specialist, rated for bar lengths from 18 to 36 inches. With 6.9 hp and optimized chip ejection in the clutch cover, it is specifically designed to pull 32-inch and 36-inch X-Tough™ bars through large-diameter hardwoods without stalling. Its narrow body and balanced center of gravity make it easier to maneuver than older 90cc saws during large felling operations.
