So how and when does a fellow need a software update? Sounds weird but I get it. I dont adjust my carb ever anyhow. Hopefully it will be helpful.

That's a Hell of a lot of wood with a single Husky 445. You will love a 562xp!!!

I've had a 562xp for 3 years and never done anything but cut wood. I wouldn't worry about it.
That's what I was thinking/hoping. I borrowed a friends ms362 and was blown away how fun and fast it was to cut wood with a bigger pro saw. I used another friends ms251 and absolutely hated it. It was brand new and my 445 smoked ii. The ms251 would not cut/dig and it vibrated me to the point of my wrists hurting all that evening.
Cool.
So what chain do you use on you 562xp? I used an aggressive Stihl chain on my 445
Ok,
I'll be the only vote that says, go run both at both dealers and see which one you like better, we already know which one will get better service should that arise.
its not THAT much better of a "firewood saw" to have to overcome a chitty service department.
IMO i would be looking in the 70-80cc range for mostly 30-36" rounds range...Id be skipping the 60cc altogether if the 445 is still running and usable.
edit...go run both IN WOOD about the size you get...

Yes, you have to post pictures of your new saw, which will be the first of many whether you know it or not. You have to post pics of all the wood you cut. You have to attend one Charity Cut and one Get Together every year. Oh, and BE SAFE out there. Am I missing anything?
You should know better
445 is good. As long as the new carb works.
Terry Landrum might also be worth checking with if you are going to go with the 562 . Great guy ,sells Husqvarna ,and Jonsered ,and is located in Tenn. . His user name here is tlandrum .
Charity cut sounds good I need to give back. Was thinking of 70cc saw also but think I need a good 60cc saw first. Maybe next year on the 70cc or even 80 if I can get some more tree work by then. Funny most people want you to be insured before you cut a tree over their houc
both give same results

We need pictures on this thread. When mine was new.
Chisel? I have never run a skip chain. I used to use a safety chain in dirty wood now I use a hatchet if its filthy if dirty I will just have to sharpen more often. I use a round file very well. A guy swore to me I had to buy a contraption that filed the dawgs at the same time you sharpen the teeth but I dont like it. I dont file the dawgs down hardly ever only if they need it. Any thoughts on my feelings on this?
I like it sun! I could take pics of snow all we had here all week... I need to go back to work soon.
Does the tech lite come on all the 562's?

Chain is available in chisel & semi chisel, then ya have skip & half skip. Semi chisel is good for dirty, dry and dead wood. Chisel good for clean green wood. What you're calling the "dawgs" are usually called rakers, or depth gauges. I do file them down occasionally.
