It's set up similar to the Timber sport competitions they have in Europe.Wonder why they used a dry lumber fake tree instead of making the test video with a real green tree in the woods? Really weird video, seeing a guy running a saw with full PPE in a parking lot or truck offloading lot. I guess it’s all how you want to stage the promo video. Seems really odd.
The original 550 is being replaced with the Mark II. The same thing is being done with the 562.Are they going to keep making the 550xp and the Mark 2 or is it going to replace it. For me, the current 550, at almost a pound lighter would better suit my needs.

So this shows that they messed up with the 550xp and 545, or else they wouldn't make a completely new saw to replace them.
IMHO the 550, 545, 550 and 562 were not thoroughly tested designs that were rushed out the door. Something internally also occurred within Husqvarna to cause such a decline in quality control, and at a very critical time too. I personally consider them all failures. This is not to say they haven't paved the way for the new models, and when running right they're actually super nice saws to run.So this shows that they messed up with the 550xp and 545, or else they wouldn't make a completely new saw to replace them.
I totally agree.New 550xp @ 5.3 kg / 11.69 lbs
Heavier than the 261 c-m @ 4.9kg / 10.8 lbs
And the new 550xp is now only about a pound lighter than my 562xp.
Might as well throw a 16" bar on my 562xp for the small stuff.
Looks like some nice mechanical improvements, but Stihl now has the edge in weight - unless I'm missing something - Husky seems to have given up the lightweight advantage not only in this 50cc saw, but also in the new Stihl 462 cm at 70cc's weighing in only slightly more than the Husky 562xp 60cc saw. What`s up Husky? Wondering if the 562xp will be heavier also - if so, might as well buy a 70cc 462 c-m, pricey, but another 10cc`s more grunt for near the same weight.
