Husqvarna 564xp (g) fuel inject

[MG2186]

With the bore diameter of a 70 cc saw and the stroke of a 50 cc saw, I dont think the weight savings on the 564 is all that impressive: 12.8 lbs. It still costs as much as a 70 cc saw.

They're marketing this as some sort of pinnacle achievement where this micro-penis-short-stroke architecture has made such a big difference in weight savings.

On the other end of the 60 cc bore/stroke ratio: an echo 590 weighs 13 lbs 5 oz. Its exactly the opposite: A bore diameter similar to a stihl ms 261 and a stroke similar to a husqvarna 181.

According to Tree Monkey this is how all new Stihl’s are, shorter stroke and bigger bore. The weight is advertised as slightly under the 562 and physically smaller. To compare this to an echo 590 is a joke, they are turds stock and heavy. They are good saws when compared to ranchers and farm boss’s which is what it’s sold against
