036 pro or 562xp

[Crzybowhntr]

For those of you that own or have ran BOTH a stock 036 and a stock 562xp which would you go with and why? I cut on my farm for firewood, pasture clearing, etc. I have other larger saws.

I know it's a broad question but the more info the better.

The 562 should be easer to find parts for being a newer saw.

The XP no question. More zip and much newer design. Can you still get oem parts of a 036?

The 562 will be the faster of the two. Autotune on the 562 is nice.

Have run both plenty, never owned either one, both make a good firewood saw, if a new 562xp is what we are looking at here, then I would go with it. If a used 562xp is being looked at then I would have to say that the 036 pro has the edge, with parts available in both AM and OEM, makes it a pretty easy keeper.

The 562 is definitely stronger in stock form, but a MOFO ported 036/360 makes a real nice saw!

Also, would not overlook the new 362 Ver II, it is about 1/2 lb lighter than a 562. Before my 362 was ported, it was run against a 560 (both with muff mods and square file chain) at a GTG, and they were very close.

Frankly, almost any of the 60 cc saws that you find in good condition at the right price make very nice saws, especially with a few mods. (262, 562, 036/360, 361, 362) and some others, they are all good.

Heft one with the size bar you plan to use and see what you like and/or what you find at the right price.

I say 361...

 

[Crzybowhntr]

I already own the 562 and was just curious as I've never ran a stock 036\360 and was looking for a change. Looks like I may hold onto the 562.

The 362rcm NE is lighter than the 562 with the same bar. That’s with 3/4 wrap and wide clutch cover.

I've been good man. How are you?

I haven't modded mine yet either but everyone says it really wakes them up.

It's not gonna hang with Dall's 036 stock but ported I bet it would give it a run.

If I feel like I need more saw I just grab a 372. They're my go to most of the time.

Lol.....I hear ya!

Mine liked a mm. About as fast as my stock 2172 was with a 24” now.

Have had both. They dont even compare. 562 by a mile.

 

[Fishnuts2]

My 036Pro is a nice, strong saw, but comes in behind a 562 and my 6100. I’d take spring AV over 036’s rubber mounts anytime as well.

Cant beat a ms 361 or a ported 036 parts are easily available for 036 oem new and used .361 has spring vibe like 562 quad port transfers with a muff mod timing advance and base delete both models really wake up. I can honestly say ive never ran a 562. Its pretty tough to beat a 361 stock

362 regardless of weight is a fuggin pooch. 562 for the win.
