This has all come via UK dealers but it would seem it is a worldwide change ? I have seen no official word from any of the manufactures. As we know the push to “clean” the small / mid-range saws were to give carbon credit to enable the larger saws to continue pretty much unchanged but it would appear that trade off has not worked !

It was confirmed by several dealers in UK and affects all the makes, the Dolmar / Makita 9010 is now gone and by an account from a friend in the US Stihl’s 088 is to either be gone or made to comply. It would appear that Stihl may have got a better handle on it with the 462 and 500i. I’m looking forward to Husqvarna’s replacements ?

So it would appear that it’s the end of the road for the above saws due to emission regulations so what do we hope to see in their place and when ?

Hi Andy, try chainsawbars.co.uk he sells skip chain etc and is very good to deal with. I know it’s not skip but he is doing a very good deal on the “new” Oregon 73 EXL which looks very good, very much like the Husqvarna C 85. All the best and hope this helps a little !

Hello everyone ! Now that the 572 has been around for sometime, although only a short time in UK and Ireland !, I was wondering how are you the new users getting along with them ?
I got mine during the hottest weather we have had for almost 40 years and was cutting windblown Spruce. I cut for harvesters and for 5 days a week so it’s important how…[Read more]Dave Keith replied to the topic Husqvarna 572xp in the forum Chainsaws 1 year, 5 months ago
You won’t be able to buy one in the USA until 2019 ! Austria,Poland and the Swiss are the first to get them followed by the rest of Europe Spring 2018 ……Myself and Husqvarna Ireland were pretty disapointed to say the least !!

I remember taking my “chainsaw driving test” it was in 1994 and cost me nearly a weeks wages !

Thank you for the pics, it seems like a chain that has been made to cut fast and with good “bite”. It has a nice deep gullet and seems to have a large cutting face which if the user can file well will give very good results.
