Whats the oldest 560/550xp out still running thanks

[Eddy_t]

A lot of people in the US wish the 560 was availiable instead of the 562, and Husky loose sales to the Jonsered 2260 ("same" as the 560) because of it.

 

 

You mean husky are loosing sales to a company owned by themselves?

That's terrible, they must be loosing money!

The 560 will be exactly the same when running the same bar length and chain size as the 562. The difference is that k095 mounts go up to 24", the d009 can go much larger obviously. A ported 560 will out cut a 562, plus the 560 can run 13"

 

Hi eddy what about if the 562 run a 20 "3.8 chain and the 560 20" 3,25 I think a 20 " is to much to ask on a 560 better off with a 3)8 chain over 18" thanks Jon

It's a hard call, the larger chain will cut more, but the smaller chain has less drag. It also depends on the wood, in softer woods, the 325 will win, in oak and other hard woods, the 3/8 generally comes out on top.

They're exactly the same saw Jon, same rpm limited to 13.5k rpm, same carb, same cylinder assy. So 20" would be the same on each saw.

Hi eddy that's what I've find 3/8 better on hard like oak beech but like you said less drag on 3.25 thanks Jon

Yes, but not only that, they make the Jonsered saws as well!

Hi wyk will a 560 REMAPED or ported call it what you like keep up with a 562 thanks wyk Jon

 

From what I have seen, they are otherwise nearly identical. A close friend ran a ported 562 with lathe work not too long ago. He said it was basically a very strong running 70cc saw in practice.

You can of course use whatever pitch and sprocket size (within reason) you want on both - just swap the clutch drum when needed..

.325x7 , that the 560xp comes with in Europe, is meaningless though!

Hi troll but what would you say best size bar on a 560 on hard wood and running 3.25 chain before 3.8 is faster cut and bar size on hard wood like oak beech thanks Jon

It is .325 (.325"), not 3.25.

 

To your question, there is only one way to find out what works best for you, in your wood - try the different options.
