560xp .325 or 3/8 pitch?

I assumed the 2260 was also large sprocket. I just couldn't see Husqvarna making two different 60cc chassis for nearly identical markets.

 

Chainsaw CS 2260

 

HUSQVARNA 562 XP® - XP® saws

 

Chassis seems the same.

I was under the impression that the 2260 had the small bar mount, same as the 560, K095, whilst the 562 had the D009 mount

Oh, the bar studs are different. It is small mount.

A little more than that is different, like the bar mount pad - the oil output is differently located because the small mount bars have a slimmer tail.

 

The 562 usually comes with a standard 7-spline drum (that fits 3/8x7, 3/8x8 and .325x9), while the 560 and 2260 usually comes with a small 7-spline drum (that fits .325x7, .325x8 and 3/8x7 (a different 3/8x7)).

Both drums fit on all models though, and both are listed in the IPLs.

 

Also, the air filter and cover is larger and higher on the 562, but that's another story....

Sorry about that!

 

Btw, imo it is a bad move that they sell the 560 etc with a .325 setup, and specially that they come with the small .325x7 rim - 3/8" obviously is better suited!

So no go on a 562 over here in the uk then?

Well that explains all the different bar types. And here I thought they were only being difficult...

No, and Tbf why would you want one? The mounts are for bars over 20" and the saw would need skip chains or you'd take a week to cut a log

I agree there is no need for the 562 with the extra weight and larger air filter, but I don't agree with the rest of your post.....
