Dumb not to get the 562XP right?

[Philbert]

Likely saws still in the pipe line and dealer shelves with all three carbs.

I've seen muscle cars with dual carbs, but they usually had 8 cylinders!

I believe there were 4 cylinder cars with two carbs as well for a while - but that may have been 1960s race cars....

I'm sure you're quite fond of a nice vw!

Strange thing is one of the Husky dealers I contacted this week is still selling 562's with el44 carbs!

I see this hype as the typical paranoia here on AS! If the carbs where all defectiv of some series, there would be a storm of rage going on over the iNet. But the only place we hear of any major problems is here. Typical attitude on this site

I'm not sure it's paranoia, but if there have been problems with a particular model, be it chainsaw, Harley Davidson, or whatever and the manufacture made a change to address it wouldn't you want to spend your money on the upgraded model? Especially if the original and the upgraded one cost the same amount? Thanks again to AS for steering me in the right direction and your continued "paranoid" support.

I suspect those prices are about the more attractive 560xp really, but that doesn't hurt the value of the comparison.

its from husqvarna 562 , direct from husqvarna websites. but nevermind i thing 560 - 562 its a little differense

Chevy Cosworth Vega?

On line, I have seen the 562 with 20 inch bar as low as $700 shipped. Bailey's says that they will match on-line pricing on Husqvarna saws (currently, I don't know if this is open ended). My local dealer will charge me about $750 + tax = $800 total.

(EDIT: corrected '24' to '20' inch bar, per Sawtroll)

You don't really want a 24" bar though!

 

[Philbert]

You are right Sawtroll - that was with a 20 inch bar.

Thanks for keeping me straight!

Makes me feel pretty good I got my 372 in 2012 from dealer in NH so no tax $780 including 24" B&C out the door.
Only $80 more than 562.

and probably suit my needs.

For cutting a cord a year a PM610 is fine - I have the 55cc version of that saw and for that little use it would be fine too. So like so many of these threads, this is not about needs at all, it is about wants - and so you should recognize that and get the saw you want.

I got my 562 out the door for $650 and thought that was a pretty good deal, but that's with a 20" B&C, don't know what it would have been with a 24".

 

[rburg]

Good price out the door. I believe you will enjoy that saw.

Pix coming tomorrow.

Nice. Looks awesome. Run, don't walk, to nearest log and have at her!
Congrats -- I think you made a wise choice.

OK, I'm not real good at these pix, hopefully I'll get better.
