New year….new saw!

The spikes are my least favorite thing about the saw. The positioning and the spike itself are garbage. Looking forward to an upgrade.

Thank God someone else said it.

Here’s a kind of lengthy video of me running the 564XP on a crane job.

Thanks for video.

I just scored an NOS 2022 562XP for an unreal price. Can anyone share what if any difference with the current 2025/6 model may be? I believe it to be MKII, but defer to the knowledge base here..

Thanks in advance!

Just check the decal - if it is Mark II, it is written there:

Thanks - it's an OG. What exactly is the difference between Mark II and the OG? Software?

The OG went through some life-cycle upgrades before the full-redesign of the MKII. Almost the entire saw is different but the OG had crank stuffers and the MKII doesn't. There's a lot more than that though.

They look very similar but not many parts swap over. Different bearings, no stuffers on the crankshaft, dished piston, and no decomp button

This saw continues to impress me. I can only say good things about it so far. There are some little nuances but overall it is a really strong saw with wicked fast acceleration. It holds revs in the cut like no other 60ish cc saw that I’ve ran. I ran it yesterday prepping some really old olives for transplanting. A little project at a small hotel across from my wood yard that is making a new entrance due to safety issues with traffic on the main road.

If you guys zoom the photo, you’ll notice that me and the Husqvarna dealer are neighbors now. I just walk over and order what I need.

"I have a feeling there will be issues with the bearings in this series." Does 560 - 562 mkII - 564 still have revboost ?

Wish we had a Husky dealer. He went Stihl, but this year the local hardware store put in a Stihl section. They just don’t work on them like our regular dealer does.

I haven't followed all the changes they've made, but I thought revboost was phased out after the mk1s

It seems only the 572 still carry them?

 

[Woodwater]

572 don't have revboost.
