Do it!! I got one a couple of months ago and I love it. I’ll pull a 28” bar with ease. Going to do a muffler mod on mine and squeeze a little more out of it. You can’t go wrong with one. Money well spent. I have an old 51 that’s from the 90’s. Original cylinder and piston and she runs great but the 562 weighs about the same.
Good choice , i love my 562mk2. I got about 10% gain from opening up the muffler and adding a bigger deflector, they are not as choked upas the first gens .
I just bought a used 562xp cant wait to try it out my first autotune not sure what year it is but i enjoy watching your channel man keep up the awesome content
From the mighty Google: 560 xp vs 562xp: Husqvarna 562 XP® Mark II is adapted for longer bars (18-28") with Husqvarna large bar mount system. It is designed for use with 3/8" chains, and also features a larger chain oil tank. Husqvarna 560 XP® Mark II is adapted for bars of 15-20" and is available with . 325" or 3/8" chains.
I definitely dont "need" it but I'm seriously wanting to buy a new 562xp mark 2.. I think I'll keep it stock and then gift it to my Dad whenever I get the chance
When i saw your last video i was waiting for the performance comparison stock. I guess ill still be waiting! My 562xp was my 1st ever new saw. Bummer because if there was a good difference I'd sell it and get the mk2. Its only got maybe 3 tanks through it!
The full wrap handle is different between the 562XP and the 562 xp MKII according to Buckin Billy Ray. The handle kit is only about $43 for a new one, if you can find it in stock.
Heres a riddle for you. Or maybe not. Is a 7 pin 325 sprocket and a 7 pin 3/8 sprocket pulling the cutters through the wood at the same rate at the same rpm? The 325 sprocket is smaller diameter but the teeth are also closer together. I would say off the top of my head that the tooth speed through the wood would be identical . What say you? Can we test this?😊
Here we go again. Just like the 550xp... why not just change the name? 563xp or 561? Seriously, it's a different cylinder, different intake, different crankcase, different oiler, different bar studs, different air filter.... Why keep the same name if essentially nothing but the gas caps are interchangeable with the 562? What is happening with the Husqvarna "500" series?
It makes perfect sense. Holding the throttle open allows freedom of air flow. It is very natural to think the throttle needs to be open. But... it doesn't.
