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.
 
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:
 
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?
 
this sucks!

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