SELLING The new Husqvarna 564xp

[morewood]

I would definitely be interested in getting one. I just want to nail down the unknown first. Anybody know all the government hands and what they're taking when bringing one into the country?

@Fabulous ?

A 42” really? With their suspect AV system and Stihl stingy oiling system this is getting pretty far up the bean stalk

I would suspect that heat soak will be issue with that much of a load as well. The 500i I handled had a pretty flimsy crankcase.

Timber faller I follow has a run a 42” in redwood. He runs 36” on a 572. Suspension systems, oiler mods, soft wood, and careful operation.

Is it really that much better to run a 42” on a 500i than on say a 592 or a 661?

It’s probably just what he had. Huge tree.

In the case of the 572, I think he runs 36” all the time.

Keep in mind, on this type of work, you’re standing on the side of a mountain in brush cutting overhead or balancing on a pole…after fighting your way thru the brush to the tree.

I always forget that normal people don’t have one of each kind

My customer just likes it for the weight when up a big tree.

Just a reminder I’m selling two 564s, cause we’ve went way off track
