560xpg

[Chris Sheppard]

This is good to hear. I pre-ordered one only to back out when all the troubles began. I'm chuffed Husqvarna seem to have sorted it out; I had high hopes this would be like the good old days of high power / weight ratios and lithe handling rocket sawdust generators.

 

Jon, it's like no other saw I've ever used - blows power to weight out of the water I really didn't expect it to be much cop and ended up doing a complete U turn (I can even overlook the starter bubble and the electrics for the time being!)

dont forget that with the 8pin drive sprocket you technically need class 3 ppe as chain speed is up at 25/mtrs/second

 

 

I must admit, having bought one without trying it first, im really chuffed to bits with mine, I wonder if the 550xp and 543xp will be as good, I must admit the 543 could well be an awesome saw and a screamer at 14500rpm!

Charlie you convinced me to get one after reading this .... Only ran a tank through doing some logging this afternoon and it's bang on how you described, not even broken in and it's a screamer , Cheers mate!

[david wood]

sorry for derail but does anyone know what chain speed on current 372xp that can be found for sale at jonesies right now is?

 

cheers

Seems like the colder its gets(-10°c) the harder the 562 starts

cold start she fires up instantly

when worked i sometimes have to pull 10 times

anybody else noticed it?

Are you all using the standard pitch or have you changed to 3/8? Is it easy to change and what's the cost?

Standard pitch at the minute ... New bar and sprocket ... Sprocket a quid or so ,the bar depends what size .... On 3/8 I would not go over 15" ... I ran my 357 on an 18" 3/8 and it was not good I guess this saw would be the same...

[MattyF]

I usually buy reels of 3/8 so it's tempting to fit but I quite fancy a reel of 325 chisel for the 346 and this saw though ...

the 562 is 3/8" while the 560 is .325"
