Silly question fellas but, the vids that I've seen on the 562xp mkii have all had orange tops. Was that just the very earliest models of the mkii?
Mine appears to have been made between April 29-May5th 2024
Thanks Fellas
It looks like they've made the gray part bigger than it used to be.

Yeah, & it appears (from what I've seen) some of the first ones were all orange (orange top where it has the Husqvarna & XP Logo
I don't think I've ever seen an all orange one. The first generation of the 545 and 555 were all orange. I have a 545 all orange even the clutch cover. I like that saw. Only 5 series XP's I've seen had the small grey piece on top, gray crankcase and clutch cover.

Yeah man, check out this 562xp mkii Billy Smith has - Husqvarna sent it to him if not mistaken

Never seen that before. He's in Canada, do you think they are different in other countries?

Been sawing this mornin fellas
Was able to run the 1st of many tanks thru her today
Figured I would give her one helluva an inaugural cut. A 30" piece of white oak (I think) - she loved it too
Man, this saw is gonna get so strong- i love it
She's noticeably stronger and even feels smoother than my original 562xp (or at least I think she does ) at any rate here's a pic of her settin on her inaugural cut

Beautiful saw man. So glad you're enjoying it. How is everything else going? How bad is the damage to your house?

Thanks man. She sure is.
Our house is unlivable- probably sustained $100-$150k of damage
It's bad. Real bad.
Oh man
I'm so sorry. So do you have a good place to stay?

Yes, we do & thank you for asking!
We were very lucky
We're staying in Eagles Nest
A rental was loaned out to us.
I'm really hoping to get back into our house before Thanksgiving though

Thanksgiving is not far off. I hope it happens. What all has to be done to it?

The other side of the house is just like that
So far, one side is already repaired, a new back porch has already been built.
The inside has already been demoed
It'll require new floors, sinks, counters, new havac, etc
