New year….new saw!

[AlfA01]

What’s up peeps!?!?!? My first post in a while….life has had me against the ropes a bit, but I’m still winning. lol. We’ve hopefully moved into our forever home and it was a monumental push to get it completed before winter. We should have electricity and internet in a week. We’ve been off grid for quite a bit. Alright, enough of the small….let’s get down to business.

The 564XP….the most hype I’ve heard about a saw since the 500i released. I’ve unboxed it and here’s the pics.

What’s new and what’s old? At a glance, it looks like everything is new….a completely new saw. What’s old? Maybe nothing…it may share minor things with previous 5th gen Husqy saws, but they do appear to be very few.

Anway, this saw will be up and running next week in my tree service so I’ll put it through the paces and see what I think.

I may put it on the scale at the office tomorrow and see how it compares with a 550 Mark II. I’ve heard claims that it has the power of a 70cc saw and the weight of a 50cc saw. As far as the power goes, we shall see. The weight judging by feel alone seems like it’s more comparable to the 562XP Mark II.

I’ve noticed over the years that I have a tendency to use saws based on the way they feel versus weight. I kind of used to lean towards running saws with the best power to weight. For example, if I’m felling trees, I’ll grab a 572 over the 500i. If I’m knocking down big rounds on a spar, I’ll take the 500i. For mid-sized saws, I tend to choose the 550 MarkII or the 562 Mark II when climbing, limbing, and felling smaller trees.
