560 XP second hand price

[TrailBuilderBen]

I've persuaded my boss to sell one of three Husqvarna 560xp saws and replace it with a smaller saw for light jobs, what would you guys recommend a Husqvarna 560 xp 2010/11 should sell for second hand? Thanks.

not that much, ebay overprices stuff but you lose that in fees anyway. Its 8 years old, why not just keep it and buy another as well?

If it works ok, 200/250 squid.

That sounds about right to me, a saw that age that's seen a fair bit of commercial use is defo 250 tops

That's what I figured, ebay prices are never accurate for most things. The saws had a fair amount of use before I started at the company so its hard to tell just how hard the saws have been used. Any suggestions on a good 40cc saw to replace the 560 as a light duty saw?

I had a go on a stihl 241 and was pleasantly surprised a little screamer but I object to buying stihl if I can help it .. would love to see a 40cc husky pro saw but tbh I would probably buy one of there electric saws any how if that was what I needed.

I second mattys 241 recomendation.

Fantastic little saw loads of grunt and pretty light weight.

Winner!

...plus 2, 3 or 4 and as said a few times now on various threads.

 

If you do consider it go for the 14" bar; 16" is too much in the real world.
