Which 60cc saw

[windthrown]

Just went on their site. I cant believe those prices. I want to order one but am just concerned about service.

This is the 3rd in the series of 372 saws on the market, the 4th if you count the 371. All the bugs have been shaken out of them long ago, and it is not an Autotune. I do not see why a Husky dealer could not fix it, they have the same engines. The guys at LCS have been around the industry for a long time (they used to work at Baileys) and I am sure they would find a way to get a bad saw either replaced or serviced.

how much do they charge for shipping?

Its a smaller saw. The top cover is lower and smaller, the small mount bar is a little lighter. Its closer to the size of a 550 than it is a 562 IMO. The size difference is bigger than the weigh difference. Its not a LOT lighter but it is lighter.

Now you've done it - I WANT ONE! lol

Would be nice if their 550XP equivalent (2253) was also lighter and smaller, but taint so :-(

The 2260 is the equivalent of the Husqvarna 560xp which was never sold in the US or Canada.

It is only $16 to ship the 2172 to me by UPS. Dirt cheap compared to Baileys.

I knew the $400 044 on the trading post was the way to go. A bit lighter, and all the power & reliability.

 

[MustangMike]

Even better, there is now a MMWS ported (new recipe) 044 on the trading post for $575 shipped!

If you know the cost of porting & shipping, that is a heck of a deal, and those new recipe 044s are very strong, I have one (and they posted a video).

For a light, strong running saw, this deal is real tough to beat! A lot of bang for your buck!

I knew about the 560 in Europe, but did not know that the 2260 was in fact a 560. Thanks

If the 2260 was available when I bought the 562, I would have got it. I do prefer the lower top & small mount bar. But I ain't gettin rid of the 562 now ! Too good a saw!.

Them saws are bulletproof

I would put the 372 and it's Red brother as one of the most reliable saws currently sold. They are also extremely easy to work on and they also get decent gains when ported.

Was just quoted $931 CDN for 2260 - - LOL -


No one in BC coast stocking any Jonsered - all special order.

Well hopefully the quest ends monday. Im off work and will have the day to go to the dealer and really do some shopping and hopefully come out with one. He has a 545,550xp,555,and 562xp in stock, so i can walk out with any of those. If i wanted the 365 it would need to be ordered. Same with a 372xp, but he said those are back ordered...? so i wouldnt get it untill late january. and i really need it next week at the latest.

I know what I would do if buying with US dollars and shipping within the USA, I would JUMP FAST and HARD ON one of those 2260's for $575!

~ and spend a few extra dollars on fast shipping
~ and get a tough and light Tsumura or Sugihara bar with the money saved.

One more time . . .

im gona see what my dealer can do as far as price on the 562xp. ill see if he can get close to that. if so i may be taking one home.

 

[MustangMike]

That ported 044 on the trading site will easily blow all of the others away, and likely last you for as long as you can remember! Put a 28" light bar on it and smile all the time!

So I was watching videos of the 555 and 562xp. It seems like the 555 actually has more torque then the 562xp? And the 562 has more top end power obviously. I was wondering if some people who have ran both think the same thing??

Just picked up a 562 myself, haven't tried it out more than a few minutes, but love how she looks, the wrap handle and initial performance. I have had the hat for a few years now. Now I have the saw as well.

There doesn't appear to be an English language translation of the 555 test, but you can transpose from the 560 test.
This does seem to suggest that there is a wider power band in the 555 and its as good or better than the 562 down low. In use I am not sure it's important, fastest cuts are made at a point higher on the rev range.
