When I cut with the 6100 i am like

Man I almost got through 2 tanks of fuel!!!!!

newer isn't necessarily better but i would like to run a 6100 to see if i would like it in the meantime im waiting for my husqvarna 61/266 to get built kind of excited about that.

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.

You can not offend me. Run what you like. Swedish trash, now that is just rude!

Now if that is the case, I may have to try a 6100.

60cc class are passed over by a lot of cutters too but I think it all comes down to what type of cutting you do . For firewood bucking in decent size trees to me it makes faster work , sure you could likely do it with a 50cc but why work a saw let one a bit larger do it and get done faster .I have 3 now , cs590 , 555 and a 6100 .

Does a 30.1cc count , local store was clearing Maruyama 30.1cc saws with 14" bar for 50% off as well as a straight shaft 22cc trimmer . Trimmer runs great , haven't tried the saw yet . Units made in Japan and a decent company from what info I could find . Saw is about 8 lb , thought it be nice for light work .

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.

Screw the check..... Id want my 357 back.

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

Send it to you no who then

I am leaning towards getting another ported 562

 

[treesmith]

It's on my list, the other option is sell the 357 and get a 359xb

 

[Mastermind]

I have a spot for you in January.

That's an option as well

isn't the 357 better

 

[treesmith]

isn't the 357 better

I'm not sure, I thought general opinion was that they're as good

 

[skippy]

I have never ran a 357 or a 359 ...yet

 

[treesmith]

I was using my 357 on dead gums with a 16" 3/8 bar, it cut well considering the wood was rock hard. Someone described it as a 346 on steroids and that's exactly how it feels. It came with a muff mod, boot clamp and decomp change

 

[bryanr2]

357 has a better cylinder. ported 359 aint no slouch. Id say ported- it's a wash.

 

[jake wells]

the 357,359 saws are just a bloated 346.
