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

 

[davidwyby]

Based on the 288 Crocky ported for me, no surprise his i is pulling 42”

I’m super tempted but I just got two 562s. Already have a 2156 and an XS 346 which is basically a light 60cc

 

[Woodslasher]

I’m tempted to give him the opportunity

C'mon, be the first guy in Little Mexico with a Scottish ported 564!

Put a baaaah-box on it and it'll make your ears bleat

…and last!

It would be equally wrong to ask for the legendary massage from a very solid person.

 

[Crocky28]

1 sold. 1 left. Waiting on more. Might be able to get the xpg but I’m waiting on confirmation.

 

[morewood]

I can't find anything about figuring what the estimated fees/taxes are. UPS lists about 20 different fees that may or may not apply. I simply want an idea of the total cost. The price including shipping doesn't bother me. If someone can point me in the right direction I don't mind looking.

Yea, the weight difference really isn’t that much with the 661 and that saw will balance a 42 a whole lot better.
