2260&2188 both top of their class
Put a lighter bar on the 562xp. 20" TechLite is noticeably lighter than a standard bar!Has anyone setup a 2260 with an 18" bar? I stopped in a dealer yesterday & picked up a 562xp with a 20", seemed a lot heavier than I expected. I am kicking around a 2260 with an 18", hopefully that was just a heavy cheap 20" bar. The 555 seemed lighter, is that the jred 2258?

I have that same bar on a 357xp. Very nice bar, but not much lighter, if any than a standard bar.I have a 18" small mount sugi hara light weight bar for a 2260
I assume that depends on what the "standard bar" is?I have that same bar on a 357xp. Very nice bar, but not much lighter, if any than a standard bar.

Yes... Not as light as a laminated & maybe a tad lighter than a solid bar.I assume that depends on what the "standard bar" is?
I had wondered why the 2260 was listed as lighter, now I know. Thanks, it was overall larger than I expected, is the 2260 a little smaller width wise as well? I haven't called around enough to see if any jred dealers had a 2260 to look at.It is (or rather the other way around).
The 560xp, 2260, 555 and 2258 all are lighter than the large mount 562xp.

2253- All around limbing and trimming with an 18" bar, small to medium felling. Light, maneuverable, good pick up.
2172- 20 and 28" bars. That would cover everything else I'd usually encounter, large bucking and felling.
I'd prefere a 16" on the 550xp/2253, just because of the balance - but each to their own!
I like a 18" on this model......
