husqvarna 562,best ported saw ever?

[Duce]

3 saws with bar and chains, $2000...
the embarrassment from pinching all 3 in the same tree...
priceless!

I can live through the embarrassment, but only one saw, WTH!!!

If you plan to put a Sugi or a GB bar on, the slots come from the factory "longer" than a Stihl Bar.

Probably ought and get a couple sugi bars..... they make a 16 in 3/8 x .050 bar.... will end up with an 18 for the cost probably.

Sent from my non internal combustion device.

One power head 2 bars generally accomplishes the same thing. And is cheaper.


Cutting by yourself teaches you good skillz.

Generally what I do. Bars are cheaper than powerheads. Plus, I never pinch a bar.

Outboard clutches are stupid..

The only thing that pisses me off about a 562.

But I can overlook that.

BUT, That is no fun!! I explain to my wife, need to have an extra to cut out the saw that gets pinched, then if that one gets pinched, need another, etc. That's my plan and I am sticking to it. Even if I never pinch one, wedges are cheaper, but no fun either.

I just say "what if one out of gas?" I'm just sticking with that one for now.

I just get the bar that fits the saw. Check out www.woodcuttersgaragellc.com for good prices.

 

[TL;DR]

BUT. Still no fun. Don't write this crap, my wife may read that!!!!! lol

Lmao, just because I know these things doesn't mean I tell my wife about em.

Generally she doesn't bother me. She knows I bust my effing ass for what I have and most all of my fleet of un-needed saws were
funded by flipping other saws in the hobby. This is a a relatively new hobby for me (collecting far more than I need)
She'll call me or send pics if shes out and sees a saw she thinks I might be interested in.

We're moving to a new rental, with lots of trees and wood to cut for a big out door boiler.
Landlord was kinda blown away by my collection hobby of un-needed saws.
He says well I guess you can't use the excuse of "my saw won't start, I can't cut wood today"


I said yeah no kidding, if I were to try that with my wife she'd ask which one of 5 or 10

10-4 for woodcuttersgarage!

Jack is very responsive and quick to ship

My biggest issue is what saws I'm going to bring with. It wasn't a big deal when I had one ported saw, but now that I have 6, with 2 more being done and 2 waiting there turns. It's getting hard to decide.

There's only one correct answer: ALL of them!

[Toad22t]

Thank you Mike! Also thank you again for the work that you put into this saw. Especially the hour and a half drive that you and your boy took to get the machine work done for it.

 

[rattler]

You poor poor abused man.


I've got 4 modified plus a lot of regular saws. I know your pain.
The 562xp gets out the most. Its like the pretty girl at a dance.

I like hanging out like that. Slows the working part way down but it's a lot of fun. Wish we had more time to run some saws that day.
