60cc dilemma

[AK_Dreamer]

So you know how the eyes tend to wander right???? Well I have a Stihl 034 super that is in like new condition. But the husky 562xp has been winking at me lately. I only need one saw and have settled on the 60cc. Is there much to be gained here with the 562?

Better AV and filtration for sure. Maybe/hopefully a little more power

Ignore both and get a MS261C-M :-D

Base delete, muffler mod and timing advance on your 034 super it will be a whole new animal! Or send it to me and I'll give it a good home!

I'd get a 262xp. I have two of them. Perfect saw for Alaska. I went to the Husky shop by the Big Lake turnoff on the Parks highway yesterday. They have a great selection of Husky saws.

I’d keep the 034 Super and get it ported. They are great saws.

Trimmers are built for women. We are talking about man toys lol

Where is the problem?
I got four 034 AV (Super), three 038 (Super), two 268XP, one Jonsered 670, tone 365 Special, one 266, several 163 and 162, not counting the bunch of 60 cc Macs...
Better to have one too many than not enough saws.
...and I usually use one of the 034 AV Supers or the better of the 268XPs, sometimes the 365 Special.

Leave the 034 alone. Leave it stock. Why does everyone here want to butcher stuff?

Buy a new 50cc, or even 40cc...

Or even 70cc or bigger

Then you’ll have two good saws with slightly different purposes

Where are you in WI? I've got a ported 036, 261, and a 262 on the way. You could try them all to compare. We could probably find a 562 to have on hand to try out too.

Jelly bruh?

A little grinding by someone who knows what they are doing can really wake up a saw, and it’s usually more like artwork than ‘butchering’. Granted, I’ve seen some hacked up cylinders...

Completely off topic and useless, with your typical brand bias. You should try reading the posts some time, and try to contribute.

To the OP, the advantages to the 562 are mostly noted above, as are the advantages of keeping your 34. If it were me, and i only wanted one saw to set on a shelf and forget, and expect reliable occasional use in the 60cc class i would want the Husky. If saw ownership is more of a hobby i would keep the old Stihl and put the money into "butchering" it. Just my $.02
