I have a 262xp and thought it was the best 60cc saw ever made. My 262xp will out run my dad's MS362 which is still practically new. However, one of my buddies recently purchased 562xp and that thing is beyond bada**. It is hard to explain how that thing cuts but when you use it you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

true,true. Rep for ya :msp_biggrin:
I thought the same thing about my 562XP. However, missed meeting you in Jasper, you could have run a Stumpified 562 and it was sweet.

The 560xp/562xp is the replacement that the 362xp and 357xp failed to be, for the 262xp! :msp_wink:

I hated missing the gtg down there, just had some unexpected stuff come up. Will not miss the next one ! I'll also try and get down to Stump's next time he finishes a 562 for a text drive. :msp_biggrin:

Niko, I have been meaning to ask you a question about your own saws, but keep forgeting- just wondering.... Do you run your saws stock, muffler modded, or ported?

Agree there , we don't have the 562 in the uk but the 560 is the first saw to put a smile on my face like the 262 did!

Don't let the Canada price scare you. At a Missouri Husky dealer I paid 700 even for a brand new 562xp ordered in, and I had just met the guy. I told him I was a stihl customer, maybe he wanted to win my business, and with saws like the 562 husky definetly opened my eyes.

$739 here, but I paid much less. :msp_smile:

not here.
I know - I guess it has to do with how many of the replaced models they have left, and maybe the "following" that Jonsered saws have? :msp_unsure:

Btw, what I don't like about the looks of that one, and other newer Jonsered saws, is the design of the starter covers - it just looks misplaced on those saws....:msp_sneaky:
I have a 562XP Woods Ported with .025 pop up and a MM, this saw is the best that i have ever run, I have a 20In bar and run Stihl RSC chain, So If I were you that is what I would go with, Smooth and powerful.

Around here I am seeing $550 for 555 with 20" and close to $750 retail on the 562 with 20"

I've spent the last few days with the ported 357xp, working up some large white oaks for the sawmill and firewood. Not much love here for this saw, but dang it's a nice runnin saw. Can't say anything bad about it.
357 is larger than a 346, but about the same size as the other top 50cc saws and it'll smoke a 50cc! I'd buy another if the right deal came along.
That said, I still like the 562 better. Has more power (stock) and is super smooth! :msp_biggrin:

I have been thinking of adding another saw to my stable. Winter is coming and I sold my 357 that had a heated handle bar.
Wasn't sure what to get, but years ago I owned a 266 and thought it was a powerful saw. If a 562 will kick a 266's butt I might have to go that route. Heated handle bar of course.
