New generation saws, Husqvarna 572

[weimedog]

Seems like the board is flooded with "new saws" and specs. So WHY not participate? Seems to me Husqvarna has focused on Durability / Reliability as compared to weight. Good move? The market will determine that. Both brands have had their issues these last few years. The folks I work with have made it clear to me reliability is their number one issue. Performance next. Everything else after that. Of course...that has to be skewed as the reason I meet these folks is when they bring saws for repair... Spec sheets? That matters as a sales tool. A year after a saw has been put to work, the spec sheet is a distant memory. SO here is Husqvarna's video on their web site of a product release event:

To get the essence, really have to watch a couple of video's, But two things that caught my attention, bearings, crank, and heat management. Focus on durability. But while a person who really is interested in these new offerings might be amused at the design of the presentation, their approach to building a reliable professional tool can't be ignored.

AND I had done a video a while back about the blessing and curse of Cad/Cam & simulations....I had to chuckle at one of the presentations that pretty much confirmed my speculation if you know that world, explains a LOT!
