Do I need a 562XPGW?

[dustinwilt68]

Yes me as Skippy have talked some, also talked to my dealer and I can get PHO for $600.00 cash, so we will see. I will post pics, either way I go.

If you consider 562 you may order one who is made after 2016 week 24 (new type bearings).
They came with a new clutch in week 41.

Here is the latest IPL for those who collect on them:

Well spent some time cleaning up this 353/ 346xp clone tonight, just thinking about what to do. I am planning on going for the 562XPGW in the morning, I think the deal is to good to pass up. I will be leaving it in the box for now, might send it out to MMWS, after I get this 346xp and 357xp done in march.

 

[Mastermind]

It is a damn good deal Dustin.

 

[dustinwilt68]

Yeah I just can't let it go, I couldn't send you dirty saws so I figured I would clean this 1 up first, already cleaned the 357xp for ya, I really enjoy it. Looking for a project saw tomorrow to.

Xpwg in about anything sounds awesome to me. I have been wanting a 562 as well. I'm terrible with peer pressure. lol hopefully your the same. I would be jumping on that deal fast if you had funds to do so.

 

[dustinwilt68]

Yes I had a new 562XP till 2 wks ago, my friend needed a saw and so we made a deal, figured I might as well upgrade to a xpgw, and I am buying this from a different local dealer then the previous saw, the old dealer doesn't/ won't buy the equipment to service auto tune saws, I have 4 great dealers. 2 husky, 1 stihl and 1 dolmar. They said no hard feelings and they won't match the price of the other, I buy a lot from all of them, think I bought around 75 saws in 2016 so they know I will be back and buy something else.Bad CAD

 

[skidooguy]

75 saws in a year? Cad may be an understatement. Lol. But it's all in good fun and do what makes ya happy. In my case it has to have a motor to make me happy and saws are cheaper and take up less room than bikes and sleds do. That's good you have dealers and a variety to choose from. I have Stihl or drive a 100 miles to the other Stihl/ kinda husky dealer in any direction.

 

[dustinwilt68]

Yeah I still.miss some of those saws.lol some nights I lay in bed and think about them, couple 346xp's, my 359 I had for 10 yrs since new,461, a 660 are the ones I miss most. I will post pics of the new saw tomorrow.

 

[skidooguy]

Yes I have a 461 as well but don't see myself ever letting it go. Or any others except maybe the 491 shinny if I had access to a new 562. I would really use a small pro saw a lot more if I had one. My lineup goes ms230 shinny 491 to a 2171 so there's a pretty big gap and the ms230 does things it shouldn't and the 2171 gets used for firewood way too often.

75 saws in a year? Wow.

 

[Wanefree]

75 saws in a year? Wow.

X2. Impressive....

 

[dustinwilt68]

Yeah I bought 25 in 1 wk. It was a gd week.

 

[Stump Shot]

So...75 no problem, 76 was a tough decision? LOL Not judging, whatever makes you happy, life's short.

 

[dustinwilt68]

I bought most to fix and sell, I love taking them apart, more then I do using them actually. But buying new ones is a tougher choice, and more costly.

 

[CR888]

The new 550xpg looks a nice saw, don't thing they offer a wrap bar for it though. Seems like a good cash deal you got going with your dealer on the 562. What bar will she be dressed in?

 

[dustinwilt68]

They sell Sugi hara bars, so I am thinking about 1 of those not sure of length. Prob a 20 inch

 

[Mastermind]

75 saws in a year? Wow.

And you thought you had CAD....

 

[Ryan Browne]

I'm glad you're going to buy it. I'd hate to read this thread and see you just dangle am opportunity to buy a 562xpgw for $600 in front of all of us only to go "nah".

 

[mdavlee]

I've lost count on most of what I've had now. Probably a dozen in some models now or more. I guess 75 in a year if they're builders isn't too bad. New that would be a pile of cash.
