592XP and 585 Huskys

[Spike60]

That's always been the rule for tips. Either you always grease it, or you never grease it. Now and then, doesn't work for whatever reason.

I sure like the self adjusting carburetor system.  About 3 years ago I was worrying about it, but now have come to realize it is reliable and very functional.  I think Husqvarna calls it auto tune.

592xp, reliable, easy starting, plenty of power, but she likes to empty the fuel tank running WOT.  No regrets and glad to have one.   32" bar buried in Elm.

About the greasing of nosewheel, the grease will flush out the dirt from the bearing, as will the chain oil if you don't grease at all. 
If you grease once in a while, the grease will prevent the oil from flushing out the dirt.

I've owned a 592xp for close to a year now, so far no problems or complaints. Starts easy, and runs smooth. I had ordered it with a 32" standard x-tough bar but soon after swapped it out for a 28" x-tough light and added the full wrap handle. It balances out nice with this setup. I'll eventually get a light weight 32" bar of some sort for it as I do like the extra reach.

One thing I noticed on the 592xp, In long deep cuts.  32" bar and 44" wood.  With the dogs on the bark, Hand on top of the handle, the exhaust out the front of the muffler comes off the bark and right back on your hand. Compared to my 266 which directs the exhaust to the side more than the front.  I moved my hand off to the side of the handlebar to avoid the heat.  Maybe on a cold day it would not be as bad or thicker gloves, but it was noticeable, and you would not want to leave it there.  But these were long WOT cuts with the dogs up tight to the bark.  Still really like this saw.  Was cutting with a 385 (32") and the 592 both today, alternating between refueling.  Two very different sounding saws.  Both are fun to run!

Yes, noodling big rounds with 592xp and that top exhaust will absolutely get your left hand hot, like really hot to the point where I've thought I've burned myself.  I've had the saw for about a year and have ran it a lot.  It's been a very reliable and strong saw.  AT has been flawless....knock on wood.

 Always find it interesting how the spec sheet defines the discussion vs. the performance and life with a saw over time. 

Just on saw forums I think? 
My experiance out in the woods with fellers and working at the mills is opinions and purchases are based upon field performance. They want saws that start, can stand being tossed about like a rock and can be fixed when they find new ways to break them.  And if that saw weighs 10 oz more, has .13 less HP and takes .537 seconds more to cut a cookie they could care less. Maybe its just the people I work for?

 The cookie cutting contests have merit for competition saws I'm sure. They're made for doing just that- fastest speed through a competition log in controlled conditions. It doesn't really mean much for a working saw though IMO. 

[DHansen]

Reliable and effective is a good start.  No fun with a hard starting or poor cutting saw.  We all have are favorite go - to saw, and it's for a reason.  If I experience a saw not cutting well, I stop using it till I have the time to find out why.  No reason to push through a job when the tool is not performing properly.
