Get the 562 then . ?

That's what I'm leaning towards tbh just wondering if people have a preference on cut speed alone? Can't imagine it being much of a difference on a 15" bar anyway?

Have always ran 560’s on 3/8 always been happy with that set up.

I have both, I can’t tell the difference (cutting wise)if I’m honest.

I did hear that the 562 has a beefier crank to cope with the 3/8.

I run both 15” on 560, 16” on 562 the 562 always seems quicker/more aggresive

Spoke the real test would b t try 3/8 on the 560?

I can confirm the 562 rips with a 28 bar. In a pinch we swapped out an old 28 from a 395,  never gone back, awesome as a big saw in the tree. She's a weapon.

You running skip or semi-skip on the 28” bar?

No buddy, standard.

I’ve had both but the 560’s all got scored pistons through auto-tune/fuelling issues.
The 562 is a great saw but I’m surprised to hear that it’ll rip on a 28” bar... fair play.
Mine runs an 18”
