Any news on the new version 562xp

[sawmikaze]

price is a factor but the main one is usually weight. why else would someone buy two saws a 550/562 and a 572 or 390/395 simply they want to run the lighter saw when they can. not that you cant do it all with the larger saw just run a 20" on the 395 (heck i have a good bit and its great but it is more tiring if i have to do a lot of walking and not my pick for limbing)

I've never heard a single person I've met in the tree business or a firewood cutter even mention what a chainsaw weighs, they buy the power they need or hit the price point they wanna be at and off they go.

This forum isn't reality.

When I cut big wood I use a big saw and when I cut small wood I use a small saw..it's just matching the tool to the job..no more..no less.

You're probably right.

dude your saying the same thing i am. i dont weigh any of my saws never have no need to i know and so do you the "big saw" is heavier than the "small saw" and when the extra power of the big saw isnt needed you run the small saw, and why is that because its alot lighter call it matching the tool to the job or whatever you want

But you're saying the weight is a big factor. I'm saying it's not. For most people price is the biggest player in a saw purchase.

I watched a guy that's a firewood cutter at my saw shop eye up a 261 and a 271 at the same time yesterday.

He bought the 271 because it was cheaper..not heavier or lighter, and for his use that 271 will see him out for a very long time.

Every person I have ever talked to in person about a power saw wants to know how much is it going to cost them, first and foremost.

Nothing to be sorry about, reality is a tough sell is all, carry on...

 

[Stump Shot]

Bingo.

Then the talk will turn to power and engine size, if the dollar amount hasn't already exceeded the person's maximum they have set for themselves to spend. Do that and the conversation is over.

this thread is on the 562xp with an msrp around $800. we were talking about professional users and saws not homeowner and firewood saws sure there is a large market for saws on a budget. there is also a lot of professional users running very expensive saws because they make their living with them. different priorities. i said small weight differences not a big deal big weight differences are and usually reason to select certain saw for certian job this is not talking about homeowner with only one saw cutting a little firewood each year

I could name 6 or 7 tree services that I know personally that have ms 250's for their ground guys..guess why...

I think if this 562 is a smidge heavier and follows suit of the 550 and 572 it's gonna be a good move for husqvarna and the men of the world that use these things will be happy they finally have a saw that fits them well they can count on...the ounces here and there won't matter.

My employer had a horrid run with 5 series husqvarna's (his fault sorta)..IF he goes back ever (highly unlikely) and finds it's a more reliable better built saw he won't mention that they weigh a little more..I'll guarantee that.

If a professional user has a homeowner saw and a homeowner has a professional saw what do you call them ?

A person with differing budgets?

Could be.

Does the tool make the user or does the user make the tool...
