New year….new saw!

Random pics for size comparison. The 564 and 562 mk2 seem pretty much identical in size. The 564 feels a little more weighty towards the rear of the saw.

I ran it with the bar that it was shipped with for the first round of test cuts.

It's a very good chain, I left the xForce bar in the store and brought a couple of extra chains with me instead, I had a 20" Tsumura Premium lying around for it.


It is probably closer to the weight of a 560mk2 than it is to a 550mk2, but with a long bar mount.

Hi Tor! I’m planning to put both on the scale again tomorrow. Of course, with gas and oil this time. I had weighed it with the 550 because Husqvarna claims it is the weight of a 50cc saw.

Dan, glad all was sorted out. Each jurisdiction and country have their regulations.
Nothing like being in the "modern" age.

In my application and in my hardwoods here, I was not a big fan of the C85 out of the box.
With too many good reviews, I too thought that it would do well.
I tried to run it with the 372OE monster build by our friend @Stump Shot Steve and the chain was sub-performing.
Once the chain was correctly re-adjusted to my application (fiber and operator skill) all was good.

It's quite normal for a chain to have to be "tuned" to the saw, especially after it's ported.

Some top shelf primer pumping on the vid. You Euros got it going on.

Thanks for the eye candy. The new one seems to hold better rypems in the cut.

That's some nice stonework. Real nice. How much to ship the masons to 96039?

That was just for you, Tim!

It does hold more rpm in the cut. It’s a more powerful saw with wicked fast throttle response.

Thanks. The guy’s name Baki but he calls himself John. He’s an Albanian fellow that lives and works here. He does great work. You can find him on FB Baki Veshi Stone Mason

How many much cost. What is the price in Greece? 1400-1500€ ?

I ordered this saw 6-months ago from abroad and I paid 1100 plus shipping for it.

I found a nice wind fall fir in forest this afternoon near the road and decided to cut some rounds with the 564XP.

And the 562XP Mk2 for reference.

That s chepo. From EU ? If its not secret can you link me to this shop?

I also knocked over a couple more dead standing firs.



Our fir and pine tree population have taken hits lately due to drought, heatwaves and a record low amount of snow in our mountains for the last three years. A lot of dead standing trees in the forest here.

It’s a supplier I’ve used for years. The price is my price because of the quantity of business I have given them over the years. They only were able to get 10 units at a time. I guess there is a pretty long waiting list for the initial shipments.

I don't understand why Husqvarna didn't call it the 567xp! That would have made sense.
