Could a stock 562xp pull a 32" cannon super thin kerf in mostly small softwoods or is this a ridiculous idea, thank you.

Mweba had a ported one pulling a 36"
Why a 32" bar in small wood?

It'll oil a 28", but that'd be the limit of oil capacity.
Handles like a turd with a 28, a laminated 24" is about the sensible limit for me on that saw.

I believe you need to upgrade to an MS170.
No. I don't even like a 372 with a 32" bar. I'm looking Stihl MS461, or if you want a Husqvarna, I would look at at least a 576 or 390.

Lot's of variables come into play at that CC and length of bar. Wood, chain, oiling, etc.
Sure in a once in a great while with all perfect conditions and a sharp operator no problems. But to just plug and play there is no margin for error at 32".

I wouldn't run anything longer than a 24" B&C on my 372 unless it was skip chain. It pulls a 24" full comp chain buried in hardwood decently but it's at the edge of the powerband. I couldn't imagine running a 28"+ bar on a 60cc saw, even if it was narrow kerf.

IMO, a 385xp would be perfect for a 32" bar.
I still don't see why you need a bar that size for "small softwoods".

I run a Tsumura Tough & Light on my 390XP. Perfect combo.

Maybe as a landing saw for a knot bumper. Plenty of 60cc Husqvarnas and Dolmars have been run in the PNW with 24-32" K095's for this very purpose. Thin out the bar oil, crank the oiler all the way open, and run full skip.
For general bucking, nope, no way.

Brrraaaaap!
I run a 32" on my 395xp. It does alright.
I got a jonsered 2260 (562 engine, small mount bar) and I have a 16" bar on it for small softwoods. That is fast, I tell you what!
I can't believe a 562 would oil a 32" though. Let alone have the AV stand up to that kind of punishment.

But I had to ask.Don, you are smarter than me. You know why
Long reach limbing saw, yes it'll work, but a 28" might be a better fit...
