Husqvarna 562 XP Mark2

[Tor R]

As long as Husqvarna's parts lists are correct, the 560 mk II is delivered with a 325 7T

I'll add that to the list of things I immediately change.

...and the 562xp has the 3/8"-7 on it, which would make it a large spline, this would need a new drum and worm gear to convert to a small spline sprocket.

yup

I also prefer the small spline, 325 7T, 325 8T, 3/8 7T, I think that gives excellent options on a 60cc.
In Scandinavia, the 560 mk1 always came equipped with the 325 58ga b&c, would be very surprised if HVA suddenly moved away from the 325 as the standard setup on the 560.

Dealer got mark2 on stock so I bought one yesterday. I made few cuts with the saw. I feel no difference in ergonomy or weight between the 2021 model. It feels slow but I don't own any stock saw..

I tried a .325"-9 rim on my 254xp with mixed results, okay for limbs and small stuff, bucking seems to pull it down too much and I believe it will buck faster with a 7 pin sprocket. Or go with an 8 pin for all around usage, which my cousin likes on his 254 he uses for clearing.
While not a 560 story, maybe it's relatable.

560 arrived in HVA stores today, 325 S95G chain it comes with.
If HVA has the same differences with mk2 as they had with mk1, it will be the clutch drum and oil drive to change.

I had a talk with my dealer and he insists the only difference is the electronics. He thinks another redesigned 562XP (mark iii?) is due out soon.

That's unfortunate.

No, what I can see on the parts list (if it's correct though) is mostly a newly designed chainsaw from the bottom up, crank without stuffers etc.

PS, this is the list at the moment with guaranteed to be a whole bunch of bugs

Completely new saw, autotune 3, crankshaft, dished piston, cylinder, ...

That's what I thought as well, Tor. I'm not sure where he's getting this info. He probably thinks I'm dumb enough to buy a Mark I he has in stock.

Awesome.

Encouraged by the lack of crank-stuffers as well.

There are many dealers who do not keep up with the updates Husqvarna has on existing models.
The big update that was on the 560 and 562 mk1 was when they replaced the short block with a new crank and identical crank bearings on both sides. Then and there they had changed the top cover, air filter, the entire bottom part, and a whole bunch of other parts along the way.

Now I don't know if they have managed to keep the 560 and 562 mk II powerhead as slim as the mk1, if they have, they have possibly made the best 60cc they have ever made.

I called a different dealer before he closed up shop and asked about availability and info on the Mark II. He's going to talk with Husky in Athens and give me some feedback. I may have one in my grubby paws soon.

They feel identical in my hands. I have 2021 562xpg. I'm porting mark 2 now and we shall see if it can beat old version

Here where I live, we got a lot of dealers that don’t know. Excuse my French their ass from a chainsaw.
