Husqvarna 562 XP Mark2

[Mastermind]

I guess I'll check in with you again next week on if you like the 5 series Husqvarna or not.

As long as they make me money, I can tolerate them.

I'll be very interested to hear what the innards on this saw are like compared to the latter few variations of the 562.

If there are any major differences, I'll post a thread.

It's great Husky can finally offer a Chinese version of the MS 362 with the power-to-weight ratio of a donkey pulling a cart, which is why STIHL eventually over-bored it, put in a bigger yet lighter piston, raised the rev ceiling, and sells it as the MS 400 (which is a real ripper). And no more losing your bar nuts on this baby!
(That happened on my Craftsman<-MTD<-Jonsred clone and it really sucks!)

History dictates you guys will love the "562 XP Mark2" (man that's a long name!) because every cinder block Husky I've heard of has a track record of lasting more than the standard three years before "the issues" start cropping up.

I hear the "562 XP Mark3" will finally offer STIHL's latest air filter...

He’s dressed in hi-viz so the ground crew can find his body in the brush after he cuts through his safety lanyard.

That sometimes happens when you're a STIHL Man.

Wonder if the 3/4 wrap from the mark 1 will fit these?

Sounds like it’s different part numbers.

I'm saying that new awesome Husqvarna saw is a boat anchor. Beep.

Edit: I'll just remove the ChatGPT post as it wasn't meant to be political in any way. I understand politics are invading many forums, I'm not here to talk about that.

I'm just gonna say it Brad. There ain't a damn thing funny about what's happening in the Gaza Strip, or in what happened in Israel to cause the current conflict.

Please leave this sort of stuff alone here.

I'm not here for politics and didn't think of it in a "real-world" sense because I'm not here for politics, and the ChatGPT response wasn't anything close to rational. I edited the post to remove that, no offense was meant. I can see how it could be taken as political, but again I'm not here for politics and don't want to contribute to politics mucking up a saw thread.

Thank you for the comment.

I'm interested in any reports folks have.

I'm hoping beyond hope to be able to afford a heated handle saw before the 31st, and am stuck between the 550 and new 562, with the newest 542iXPG being a dark horse.

Curious if Husqvarna upgraded the crankshaft/bearings on the 562xp mark 2 ? Can't seem to find ipl yet.

 

[sawmikaze]

Is it still impossible to get a 560 in America ?
