Which Husqvarna 572 XP bar length should you choose?

Husqvarna recommends guide bars from approximately 15 to 28 inches for the 572 XP. Masseys currently offers the saw with 18, 20, 24 and 28-inch bar packages.

18-inch bar

The most manoeuvrable option in the Masseys range. It is well suited to snedding, cross-cutting and professional work where handling speed is more important than maximum bar reach.

20-inch bar

A balanced all-round configuration for forestry and estate work. The 20-inch package provides useful cutting capacity while retaining good handling and balance.

24-inch bar

A strong choice for larger timber, wider stems and customers who need additional reach without moving to the maximum recommended bar length. This is likely to be the most suitable package for operators specifically searching for a Husqvarna 572 XP 24-inch chainsaw.

28-inch bar

The longest bar package offered on this page. It is intended for experienced users working with large-diameter timber where maximum reach is required. A longer guide bar adds weight and leverage, so handling requirements should be considered before selection.

Please select the required bar length before adding the chainsaw to your basket. For help choosing the most appropriate configuration, contact the Masseys team before ordering.

Professional cutting performance

The 572 XP has been developed for demanding professional work where cutting speed, cooling, filtration and durability matter throughout the working day.

Its 70.6cc X-Torq® engine produces 4.3kW, giving the saw a strong power-to-weight ratio for its class. Husqvarna states that the 572 XP provides 12% higher cutting capacity than previous equivalent models, helping experienced operators maintain productivity in larger timber.

Key Husqvarna technologies

AutoTune™ engine management

AutoTune™ automatically adjusts engine settings to compensate for factors such as temperature, altitude, fuel and air-filter condition. This helps the engine maintain consistent performance without requiring routine manual carburettor adjustment.

Air Injection™ filtration

Husqvarna’s centrifugal Air Injection™ system removes a high proportion of larger dust and debris particles before they reach the air filter. This helps reduce filter loading and supports reliable operation in dusty forestry conditions.

X-Torq® engine

X-Torq® engine technology is designed to deliver strong torque while improving fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust emissions compared with older conventional engine designs.

LowVib® anti-vibration system

Husqvarna’s LowVib® system isolates the handles from engine and cutting vibrations. This improves control and helps reduce the vibration transferred to the operator during prolonged use.

Durable professional construction

A magnesium crankcase provides the strength required for demanding professional use while helping to control overall weight. The saw also incorporates effective cooling, improved chip ejection and a robust filtration system for sustained forestry work.

Smart Start®

Smart Start® is designed to reduce starting resistance, making the saw easier to start while retaining the performance expected from a professional 70cc-class chainsaw.

Who is the Husqvarna 572 XP designed for?

The Husqvarna 572 XP is particularly suitable for:

• Professional forestry and woodland work
• Felling and processing larger trees
• Arborists carrying out demanding ground-based cutting
• Estate, farm and land-management teams
• Experienced chainsaw users who require a longer guide bar
• Contractors who need a durable 70cc-class saw

This is a powerful professional chainsaw and is not normally the best choice for occasional garden pruning, light firewood work or inexperienced users. A smaller Husqvarna model may be easier to handle where maximum cutting capacity is not required.
