I doubt it, OPE has enough foreign members that acquiring one should be possible.

Has anybody had a chance to port one of these 562mk2 yet to see how well they gain? Was considering buying one for my Dad and getting it ported up for him if they make worthwhile improvements

I've done a few of them. They turn out great.

I like mine a lot. It stays on the work van and gets used regularly. I’m pruning a hefty Euc with some decent sized wood tomorrow…I’ll get some pics.

Dan I take it no more vapor lock and such as we saw on the MK1 version. Your climate puts you right there with a large portion of the US.
On a job site, time is money, and fussing around with restarts is a big no no for a business owner.

Exactly Mike. That was the only complaint I had about my old 562 was if it sat in the sun during summer months, you might as well grab another saw. It would restart any other time except for summer. Especially when you are paying a crane by the hour, saw problems just aren’t something you need.

The Mark II seems be a solid unit. I keep a short bar on mine for work up in the tree mostly. It’s very light and well balanced.

Been pretty happy with mine
The run on choke is nice, usually one pull starts cold. Only been is high 60’s but no heat / start issues so far. Both of mine are ported but mark 2 does seem to be little stronger than mark 1, smoother, revs fast. I do wish they would make air filter little bigger, holds them back, ported anyway. Installed red beard foam filter on old one, very noticeable difference, higher rpm in the cut, and also eliminated all hot start, run issues, I’m assuming because of the big hole in the top cover.
