would YOU buy a new 562xp?

[skippy]

It's a very smooth saw to run . Go to gtg and try one out first

 

[sunfish]

Already did.

 

[skippy]

Then buy one and run the balls off of it !

 

[beaglebriar]

Would I buy another...damn straight! I'd really like an AWOL 562 just have to get it past the warden.

buy her a diamond and new shoes then buy your saw.

I have never bought myself a new saw but thought REALLY hard about a 562. I almost pulled the trigger but held off and I was able to piece one together out of the junk pile last winter (how I get pretty much all my stuff). But if I was going to buy a new one, I would get a Jonsered 2260 and have @awol port it.

 

[sunfish]

I don want any other saws, but want a AWOL 2260 I think.

I ran two of them.

One was Andydodgegeeks that he bought new from Terry. I was very impressed with it.

The second was one that a tree service brought me to fix. I ended up keeping it for a extra day just to cut with because I enjoyed running it.

I am seriously considering one. Primarily to have for buddies to use while we cut, or to loan out if someone asks if they can borrow a saw.

I like letting friends and family borrow my stuff, but I don't get enthused about letting anyone but myself run my ported saws. I have been considering getting a stock saw set up just for them.

Expensive loaner! But a damn good one!!!

I believe a new ported 562 from awol is 8 or 850 and very strong.

I'm like mike Lee, if I bought one I'd have awol port it instead of me doing it,I've ran 2 that he's done and they are insane.

.
2260 Randy worked over. It's the same squared filed chain I ran on my insane 2-piece 346. It's only a smidge slower in 8" poplar. (@.1-seconds) I'd say that's pretty damn good for a work saw.

You really can't go wrong with a price like that. Especially with the great porting service Alan provides.

I spend at least 20 hours a week after my 60 hour a week job working on saws for customers. I no longer have time to work on saws of my own. Hence why I am considering a AT saw.

 

[skippy]

In all honesty never ran a stock one .but it's a fun saw

 

[jmssaws]

I have met Alan in person and he's a excellent gentleman, infectious personality and the kind of man who makes you want to be a better man just by being around him,there's no other place to get a 562 as far as I'm concerned.

With offerings from Echo and Dolmar (Echo cs-600p/cs-620p or Dolmar ps-6100)...No, I would not buy one. But then again, I won't own ANY auto tune saw. For less than what a new 562xp costs, you could watch Ebay and pick up a new 600p, have Randy port it, and have a saw the 562xp only wished it could be. Boy...I'm gonna get flamed for that one.

No flaming here. You are on point (other than the "562xp only wished it could be" comment ) and the OP wanted honest opinions. A lot of people still don't want an auto tune or M-tronic saw. I personally don't own one, but I would like to have them. I just don't want to spend the $$$ to switch everything out. There are some really good saws on the market from all the major manufacturers right now, made even better with some minor to major modifications. It is a good time to be a saw nut. The OP couldn't go wrong with any of the saws you mentioned.

 

[species8472]

Mime is a wws562 cuts great no problems at all.
Would get another one if the time came.

 

[CR888]

Its probably fair for the OP to question the 562xp as quite a few have had minor carb stumble issues. Mind you for every saw with a problem they would probably be less than 5% of owners with the issue. I have ran the snot out of a 2014 550xp and a 2012 555AT with no hesitation stumble what so ever, actually quite the opposite the revboost strato intake gives light switch fast spool up. Dealers have been a major part of this problem and husky has handled it poor but if your concerned convey this to a good site sponser and get him to test the saw prior to shipment. A good dealer is what is needed 'if' you have a problem so get that choice right and buy with confidence. I am no Husky cheerleader but the 562xp is without a doubt top dog in the 60cc class. Just choose a good dealer that supports the place you turn to for good info, they pay to keep the lights on here

The 562 is impressive in stock forum.
