Only one thing to say

Only one thing to say

My stihl dealer uses a 562xp.

The MS262 will be amazing? Right?

Thoughts on a ms261 from a dealer that sells husky:

I understand why it was thrown out of a bucket 45 feet up after 10 minutes of use.






Did you use the saw or just poke at it with a stick?

No surprices here, so far.....opcorn:

I wouldn't dare run it, just picking it up broke my heart.

Don't run it, you'll be ruint...

I can see you being a tad envious just after picking it up I'm sorry I thought your first post was a negative, silly me!

The only thing the 261 shares with the 461 is the 61. Now that's just mean.

I'm not the only one that sees this, I can't be I won't count the 261 out yet but damn was it a major letdown in a side by side comparison against the 550.

Anyway this thread is about a 550 in the hands of a jealous stihl dealer

 

[naturelover]

Eh, when it won't start, you'll be glad to run the MS-261 again...

One little thought about this tread

[EXCALIBER]

From what I hear the 550's have a problem starting some of the time. Husqvarna found that this problem usually presented itself only after the saw's owner allowed it to eat too many stihls for breakfast

 

[CATDIESEL]

once aguy gets past the starting issues, and the recalls, and all the plastic, and the crappy build quality...........it probably is not too bad of a saw. one thing the 550/562 have in common, Xtra-Plastic

My 550 might be the easiest starting saw I have ever owned.

Compared to what? :jester:

At least they have metal handlebars.....

 

[Roll Tide]

Just buy one man. Im a Stihl dealer and wouldnt trade my 395xp for any Stihl, and after running the 562, I am buying one for sure. Wouldnt trade it for a Stihl. I know this is bad. Yall warned me this would happen. :bang:

 

[rullywowr]

Both in stock form - The 550xp absolutely eats the MS261's lunch, shoves it in a locker, and takes its milk money.

With a simple 3/8" hole MM, the 550 is absolutely ridiculous. Violent yet smooth. Perhaps the best power to weight ratio on the market at this time. Great handling saw as well. Brrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaappppppppppp. Done. :msp_scared:
