Has anyone heard much about this new saw from Husqvarna?
Looks a gem, I guess like anything, time will tell.

It has peaked my interest. I have an appreciation for fuel injection saws. Have 2 500i's. Glad to see husqvarna bring one to the market. Looking forward to hearing and seeing more.

This should be a nice saw the only issue I see is how they’ve handled the computer situation and being dealer only. Most areas up here they don’t have the computer with software to work on the 5 series auto tunes and the few that do have no idea. So unless husky will start allowing regular independent shops to buy the stuff so there’s places to get them repaired I can see major growing pains in the upper Midwest. There’s plenty that have sworn husky off already because of lack of shops to fix the auto tunes which can be fixed without the computer at times. With no way to diagnose the injection saws and pull codes to give an idea what’s wrong your left with guessing and parts cannon approach. Husky 100% tying people to the dealer for the new saws isn’t helping them at the moment.

so 0.1kw more than ms400.1? lol! looks like it will be heavier though if its 5,8kg without heated handles. ms400.1 is 5,8kg with heated handles.

Have to see what the torque is, the old ms400 was 4.0 kw but less torque so depending what the torque output on the 564 is will decide what saw is faster under what conditions. They both will be so close that it will be a matter of preference and which one has the better chain will be faster more than likely

Meh, the 362 and 562 were "close" on paper.

I completely agree that Dealer only repairs is a deal breaker. Field equipment needs to be field repairable.
The 500i has a similar problem. Anyone can buy an MDG1, but it’s not cheap. It also doesn’t diagnose the saw very well.
Fuel injection is complicated, but it’s not rocket science. Stihl and Husky both need to stop making fuel injection the holy grail and get it out there in a more practical way.

Exactly. But not close in reality.

But i believe these will truly be close, the videos of the 400.1 cutting with the mag piston 400 show them doing every bit as good as the 67 cc at just under 63cc which is kinda funny that this new husky is nearly identical in size.

Glad I haven't gotten to the point of buying the 562xpg mk2, let alone the 550mk2.
I feel like I've saved up some money for the right chainsaw!
A winner in my book, and one I'll get as soon as it becomes available.
Luckily, my dealer is one that has been around for a long time and has a good reputation, I've always been able to plug in with them and upgrade the electronics for free.
