562xp brake in time

[Sawdust Man]

I recently bought my first husky 562xp it's a 2021 model, (got it from Bruce, great to deal with!) I'm liking it well so far....
My question is, how long do the new huskies take for brake in, as far as power / performance is concerned? I don't do anything special for brake in, just cut wood.
I did some cookie cutting head to head with my echo 620p and the 562xp the other day, and cut times were exactly the same, (same bar and chain on both saws), 20" bar, full comp chisel chain in 16" fresh cut white oak.
The echo has had probably 5 gallons thru it but the 562 had just one tank so far.
Both saws feel like they are running nice and strong, to my 35 years of (mostly Husqvarna) chainsaw experience.
Surly the husky should be faster than an echo of the same displacement.

I wouldn't compare before 10 tanks. Just my opinion.

I know the 572xps we got took at least 8 tanks before they started to come into their own.

Another bit of info;
I ran my ms400 (20+ tanks now) in the same log at the same time with same bar length, the results were; 8 seconds for the Stihl, and 10 seconds each for the 562 and 620
Oh yeah, all stock saws.

13 tanks for my 572.
I like my 550 & 572, the 562?, not so much.

I'd say about 10-12 tanks for the 562 . The 572 seems to take a little longer IMO .

Do a muffler mod if you haven’t already on the 562. It helps get the heat out.

Okay, thanks guys.
I'll run a dozen tanks thru the 562 and compare them again.

Not one saw is the same, I use the 10 gallon rule on all rebuilt and new saws. Because some saws like the 543xp took 10 gallons to wake up. Others only took 3 gallons to break in.

Bring the 562 back up north!
