Dealer says he will take it back so I'm going to do that.

I'm looking into Stihl 460. If I go that route I will let you know how they compare.

562xp was a fine saw when it worked, it just sounds like they have some bugs to work out.

Have you considered just an exchange for another identical saw? Perhaps you got a lemon or it wasn't set up correctly when you first got it. I can't imagine they are all going bad, they would recall them all and pull them from the shelves...one would think anyway.

That's what I'd do if mine acts up and I can't fix it.

Next choice would be swap it for a brand new 357xp...

Thread hijack here but... Hows your ported 357 run with that 562? I just sent my 359 to stumpy...:chainsawguy::chainsawguy::chainsawguy::chainsawguy:

The ported 357 is close, but the 562 is a bit faster. 18"Sugi on the 357, 20"Tech-Lite on the 562 and they weight the same. I really like the 357, but Husky stepped it up with the 562.

You goin to love a Stump Broke 359!

Good choice Sean. Pickup a Dual Port Muffler and Maxflow Air Filter then tune it with a good quality tachometer. You will be surprised!
 
Your back "will" be hurting :hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

Ya exactly. This 562 has easily enough power and it's light. I don't want to lug around a more pounds even if it does have more hp.

I'm going to talk to the seller about his return policy. See if he will let me keep it for a while to run a few more tanks of gas through it and see if it breaks in. I just don't want to get stuck where I can't return it.

I just keep going back and forth on this. I want this saw to work. Just like when I got my Roomba, I would put a lint ball down right in front of it and cheer him on.

Let me ask you this, Did you follow husqvarna's procedure for the first run on this saw?

There is No other stock saw that runs this strong for the weight. Just work with the seller/dealer and get it ironed out. If mine started acting up right now, I sure would not get rid of it. I'd fix it, or get it fixed. You do have a warranty. :msp_smile:

I agree, Get it replaced if you need to but don't get rid of it, its the perfect one saw plan

The only break-in instructions I can find are "avoid running at too high speed for extended periods during the first 10 hours".

I've mostly cut thicker stuff, so it's under load and not high revving.

Sunfish can correct me but i believe you are supposed to run it at WOT for 5minutes in the cut for auto tune to program

Yes I gave it full throttle. I just mean I wasn't letting it rev up high with no load. That seems like a bad idea even with a broken-in saw.

That's what I've read here, but it doesn't mention that in the owner's manual.

With mine, I made 20 or so noodle cuts in large rounds.
