Best 60cc firewood saw, Is it a 562xp

[Stihl working Hard]

Iam just happy cutting firewood no matter what the saw is ,as long as the chains sharp

If the 562 is like the wave of the future then my 357 is a time machine.I used to have a 562 sold it.

Brother-in-law borrowed my 357 to clean up tree damage at their house. He would not bring it back, asked what it was worth to me, received a check in the mail for that amount.

I hope eventually to run a 620, a 6100, a 357, and a 362c. I like the 60cc class.

The 357 is a great saw @Duce

I actually used a 6100 the other day. It was a runner for sure with lots of torque, however i prefer the feel and handling of my 2260/562. I love my 421 so im not being bias either.

I don't pick a saw based on speed and torque, i pick the one that suits my needs and feels right.

Sounds right! I really could care less if a saw is a sec more or less in a cut but I prefer a slender , agile handling, saw that has rpm but can be leaned on also. It has to have that seat of the pants feel

Is that why Stihl is in your name? Not for everyone.

Not really.
I'm not color blind or brand biased really.
I've had several Huskies.
I own several Dolmars.
Hooray 421.
I own a 346 that Mr.Piggy ported. It's awesome.
I'm also currently rebuilding a 266XP.

To me, the 562 has a springy toy feeling to it.
And I'll throw this out (cause it seems to be the current fad).....the plastics feel cheap.
Just feels like Swedish trash in my hands.
Couple that with their "outstanding" track record for reliability......nope. Don't want one.
Sorry if I offend you.

I like cutting with my 357, xtra bananas would be nice

I will say that I'm not a particular fan of the spaceship look, but that doesn't count for much. There really isn't much for Husky dealers around here, which is too bad. I wish there were more huskies around. I've run a couple, but that's about it. If there were more available on the used market around here I'd pick one up one of these days.

 

[Keith Gandy]

The wide bottom dolmar and cheap feel kinda makes me blah when I run it

It really is interesting how one saw field different from person to person.
I have seen every modle receive the comments of cheap plastic, toy feeling, cheap. Sure am glad we each have a choice.

Only the one with a full load of husky nuts!!!

 

[Keith Gandy]

In all seriousness a 7900 that Carl ported is one of the strongest 70cc class saws Ive ran
