husqvarna 562,best ported saw ever?

[jmssaws]

. They do run pretty good.

Who done that saw?

 

[sunfish]

The 562 I've had for 4 years is still the most impressive stock saw I've ever run! But I need to see what these awol 562s' are all about?

I sold my only ported 70cc saw after running the 562 for a year.

Ported 357 is still my go to saw though.

 

[jmssaws]

I do this stuff for a living folks and I'm telling you that @awol is the real deal.
A truly great guy and a truly great saw builder.

I ran a beast of a @tree monkey 064 out there as well and I think he should maybe think about doing it for a living also

Here is the best runner I've done so far.

372? We don't need no stinking 372!

Give me a month Allen then I'm coming to see you.

Have you ever ran a 362 c-m ?

Have you ever ran a 362 c-m ?

Yes a stock one,I'm a diehard stihl guy but a 362 feels like a box of bricks compared to the 562. Don't know about performance once ported though.

I had a chance to finally run one over the weekend and I'm still flabbergasted at how it ran. It has changed how I feel about small saws.

I'd like to hear some of your experiences with the saw,good or bad.


Thanks guys, Jason....

Jason, you are really starting to piss me off. Why couldn't you have written, "Hey guys, a simple muffler mod is all this saw needs. Porting it is a waste of time!"

 

[wildroamer]

I mean really, what's next?! Someone going to tell me my new 681 would really shine with a mm and woods port?!?!

Sheesh!!!

Have you ever ran a 362 c-m ?

I ran a ported one once... It was almost as fast as my 562xp.

 

[awol]

I have a 362 in my "todo" line, we'll see how it turns out. It does feel bigger than a 562, but the weight isn't bad.

I've ran one some and it is framed like a much larger saw.

My 70cc saw is a awol ported 59cc saw

Chunky is a good word for the 362. Has good heft. lol

I love stihls but a 362 don't come to mind when I think about a nimble and light handling saw.

I almost bought a 362 when they first came out, then handled one next to a 357xp. I would have bought a 361 if the dealer would of had one, but the 362 wasn't the saw fer me.

 

[jmssaws]

I'm in the process of getting a new 362 but only to port and sell,just cause I'm not a fan doesn't mean others don't love them.

I've never liked a Ms290 but I wish I had a tractor trailer load of them.

 

[GCJenks204]

Okay let's run it down.

MMWS 044 Check
DRF255 026 - Need
AWOL 562 - Need
JMSSAWS 066 - Need
TreeMonkey 661 - Need

I know there is more I'm missing but *s-worde it's way beyond requiring a simple bank heist at this point...

 

[KenJax Tree]

If want a little a smaller than a 562xp get a JRed 2260. I like both of them but prefer my 2260 it feels and handles more like a 50cc saw.

 

[jmssaws]

At least you have one on the list.
@drf255 is soon to build my 026,I can do it but there's a reason builders like a particular saw.
