Re 560xp has got one for sale

I've not had any problems with torque pal' date=' I don't think the MS362 had more torque. Personally I think it's more about how well or how poorly people can sharpen there chains..... JMHO[/quote']

 

Have you run your 560 with a 20" bar in hardwood? That's where I feel the 362 pulls ahead, the 560 bogs down more when worked hard like that. For all other applications I'd always pick up the 560 though. The 361 was the best of both worlds, shame that isn't produced anymore.

Personally I wouldn't run a 560 on a 20" bar, I had run the MS362 on a 20" and wasn't impressed at all tbh, it's ok on a 18" but my opinion is that 60cc saws shouldn't be run with anything more than a 16" bar, anything over 16" should be run on a 70+cc saw. Even with a sharp chain, 60cc saws are too slow with anything more than a 16"bar, it's surprising how much time can be lost in a day production cutting, when the saw is struggling with a big bar..

Agree with what you say other than the 560 will pull an 18" well but I would not go longer .

I run a 560xp and a 361 , the 361 running a 20" bar , I use it for cross cutting .

The 560 on a 15" bar , I use for snedding and small / medium timber and to me this is where a 560 comes alive , I love it , fast light and easy to handle and as far as i can see leaves the 361 for dead . No way I would run a bigger bar than 15" .

Only my opion though !!
