Great Power to Weight Ratio 5 I started running Poulan saws in the eighties, then bought a Husqvarna 61 in 1991. Moved up to 357XP in 2003. That saw must have 2000 hours on it, still runs like new. Needed bigger saw to run a 32 inch bar. The 576XP is my favorite now. Run a full skip chain, great power to weight with little vibration. Owned about 6 months now, makes cutting and bucking big red oak and poplar a piece of cake. Great balance even with 32" bar. Cliffdale Angus Afton, VA 2016-09-04

Can never go wrong with a Husqvarna 5 I have a 2014 year model of this saw, i chose not to go with the Auto Tune, to new to take the risk after all these saws are how i feed my family. I mostly use this saw for felling, putting trees on the ground. I run a 28" Oregon Power Match bar, and i also have a 32" Husky bar that came with the saw. I run mine with a full wrap handle heavy duty felling dogs and would somebody please make a DUEL PORT MUFFLER for this saw, i think it would wake it up just enough to really make a noticable difference. This saw is heavy, so i also have a Husqvarna 562 xp in the arsenal that dosent get the arms burning quite as fast. Tripp Jones West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, 2016-05-16
Powerful Saw 5 I purchased this saw August 2014. I run it most with a 36" skip tooth chain and am amazed at how it cuts oak and hickory with the same ease as when I use the 24" regular tooth chain. It starts easily. I added dual "dogs" as soon as I got the saw to replace the standard single dog; I always use 93 octane fuel. Biggest tree was a 64" oak. RalphCLT Charlotte 2015-06-28
Great Saw, Bad dealer 5 Picked up a new 576XP today. $889.95 MSRP? I don't know what happened to that price because the dealer charged me $949.00 for it! On top of that, I received no manual, or scabbard to protect the chain, just the saw... On a better note, the saw started right up and ran perfectly. 20" logs were cut like butter.

Good saw 5 Pro Arborist use this saw every day great for big removals, not to heavy just enough power to get the job done. Best saw for the price. Just keep your maintenence up and its a great saw. HTCARJH Saint George 2014-10-01
This is the best saw ever!! 5 This saw has no problem getting the job done, everything that I put it up against it handled no problem, I burred it in to a 34" red oak and it didn't even know it was in a piece of wood. The hickory doesn't phase it at all I love this saw well worth the money and I bought a six pack of oil and got another year warranty for a total of three years. Great buy!!!!

Culture shock 5 Tried a husky after older 066 sthl seized! smoother balanced and faster, bought two more following week. raised eyebrows on our sthl peers, good dealer support recognized as well Chuckie Vacaville 2013-12-30
Powerful, Low Vibe, East starting saw 5 I bought one of these in the spring and have cut about 4-5 cords of firewood with it so far. Mostly Elm and Oak here in WI, and I am running a 24" bar with full chisel chain. It cuts through hardwood like butter and is very fuel efficent for something with this much power. It is a tad bit hefty, but would you expect anything else for a 70+ cc saw!?! Dank Madison 2013-09-24
