560 and 562XP

[funky sawman]

Just got the news that those new husky saws 555, 560xp and 562xp will be coming out in april. They are all 59.8 cc. The 555 will replace the 359. The 560xp will be small bar mount and replace the 560xp. the 562xp wil be a 560xp with big bar mount.

 

[funky sawman]

Whoops Im sorry the 560xp will replace the 357xp.

 

[funky sawman]

All three saws will have REV BOOST, whatever that means. What is cool is the power to weight ratio, the 560xp has 4.7 h.p. and weighes 11.9lb WOW

 

[funky sawman]

These saws look awsome, cant wait to run one, starten to shake uncontrolably due to the excessive excitment


PONTIFCATING THE PONDEROUS PROPOSITION

 

[funky sawman]

All of these saws will have purge pump, Auto Tune, and X torq. The cool part is CAPTIVE bar nuts. now get a hold of that STIHL. the 362 stihl couldn,t hold a candle to that.

I was told two, not three model numbers, with the 562 available in either bar mount. In one way, your info would be better when people come in asking for a bar and not having to ask them narrow vs wide tail. But I don't like the "555" idea of getting away from the 2nd two numbers of the model indicating the CC's. (346NE should have been 352XP which while not exact, would have been closer with less confusion)

11.9 lbs would be great, but I wasn't given a number. My guy told me the weight felt comparable to the outgoing saws.

Time wise, the last I heard was end of second quarter, ie: end of June.

I'd say there is a good chance that we'll see a Jonsered version too. The pattern so far has been that Jonsered only seems to get a new model when Husky stops production on the outgoing chassis. (That's why we haven't seen a Red version of the 576 to date.)

Captive bar nuts? What will that do to my lucrative bar nut sales? :hmm3grin2orange:

 

[Trigger Man]

Is only difference with the 562xp going to be just the bar mount, no power increase?

So which model is the 562xp going to replace the 365/372 models?

 

[funky sawman]

In ten years you wont even have to stock bar nuts (special order only for folks that loose them like me on older saws)

correct

@funky sawman, when you say "look" awesome...on paper or did you see them actually? Did anyone go to the NE grower's show?

 

[funky sawman]

Im looking at pictures of them right now, but Im not allowed to show them to public because Im a dealer.

 

[nmurph]

if the weight is about the same, then they will be close to 13lbs.

 

[funky sawman]

Weight specs are: 555-12.3lb 560xp-11.9lb 562xp-12.3lb

Well I just got a 2010 Husky catolog today and it seems to be outdated already. They did get the cc rating of the 372 correct this year!

Where is that info from?

 

[fishercat]

this sucks!

all these EPA saws are coming out just as the Global warming scam is falling apart.

 

[funky sawman]

Where is that info from?

I got it from a husky rep, Im looking at the pamphlet right now and DROOLING:deadhorse:

 

[BloodOnTheIce]

The MS362 vs 562XP will make and interesting showdown, but in tradition of AS, everyone will compare the Husky conventional saw to the Stihl strato, and not do true comparisons.

It isn't falling apart - but blaming it on 2-cycles (or even cars) is a loooong shot anyway - like peeing in the ocean.....


.....it is just about the polititians feeling like they do something, even though they don't.........

People are finally seeing through the BS.
