Best bar and size for ported 562xp

[thechainsawguy]

I would go with a 20 or 24 inch Tsumura Light bar.

I'd go with the 20" Total Super bar. I have a 20" Tech Lite on my 562XPG but they don't wear near as well as a Tsumura.

How well will this saw pull a 24" bar?

With softwoods on the coast the 562 does fine, or maybe with smaller hardwood logs when reach is important. Larger hardwoods would be better with a 20, but softwood, skiptooth and a 24, my 2 cents.

Ported mine runs a 24" great. TAhey are total different animals ported. I'd stick with a 20"

Talk to Dave he sales some nice bars. By the way I'm gonna be the owner of a 2166/2172 in a week or so Dave do you have any Jonsered labeled bars?

Sorry no Jonsered bars, but the Tsumura Lights looks nice.

To show how a 562 would look, this is when my 550 and Tsumura bar were new....they're kinda beat up looking now.

I agree balance is best with a 20".

I run an 18" mostly but I'm into oak 90%of the time and I like the principle of having the shortest bar on as needed.

I should never post before my first cup of coffee in the morning.
It's a 372 xtorq purchased abuot a month ago. Got tired of waiting for the 572.

Old thread, but just "updating" it, as now the 572xp finally is out on some markets - and at least a couple of production saws has been taken to the US (@spike60 does of course have one of them, but it hardly is for sale).

I was waiting, waiting, waiting and waiting for the 572xp.
But my boss bought me a 562xp this past fall.
Hard to justify a 572 when my current stable includes 2-550's, 2-562's , a 372 and a 2171.
But I am looking forward to seeing the 572 first hand and maybe even getting to test one.

Well, I understand that the 572 isn't a particularly light 71 cc saw, but is a very nice performer, that handles quite well for its weight - despite it has an inboard clutch (like the 372 and 576 has - you need to go back to the 272 to avoid that).

The good handling and performance isn't first hand info, and I'm skeptical to any saw with an inboard clutch...
