No, the TechLite is optional... 20" light weight bar and very nice to use.

OK. As I'm sure you figured out, the Stihl dealer that's fixing your 445 is trying to earn your business, basically saying that if you buy from him, he'll take care of all your saws. If you are relying on your saws to keep house and home, you need good local service, and good service trumps the brand or model every time. Unfortunately, there are lots of folks in places where there is no good service, and they will happily deal with Spike60, tlandrum or TK (New England) long distance. Thing about that, if you're dealing long distance, you have to get multiple saws, so you always have one to work with when the inevitable breakdowns occur. Stuff happens. The other thing, I would go to the local Stihl dealer and discuss your needs with him and let him make recommendations. He's the one who's gonna answer all your questions and bail you out when things go sideways.
If saws are a hobby, then please disregard the above.

So what's your favorite m&r? Phillip I have been thinking all of those things. I will have to hold the 562 in my hands to make certain I need it. The 362 seems bulkier. I am not getting a tattoo of either brand. I buy Stihl chains and commercial Oregon bar. Had that one bar over two years and still has all the paint on it. The Stihl dealer gets all of my business at the moment. With all of that said the husky dealer is about an hour away. Hopefully I can get the 660 from Stihl next year if needed.

2260
both give same results
exactly... but one costs more to maintain and sucks the life out of you, while the other keeps you warm at night and fed.
you decide which is which.
and don't let yer friends catch you on the Moped !!!

Nope , and unfortunately they are currently not available . Been bugging my dealer and area rep about them ,and they don't have a clue as to when they will be back on the market again .
Made up my mind here I going to buy the 562 in a week and a half. Will put pics when I get it. I am excited. Can't hardly wait. Thanks for all the information! More is still appreciated if you got any thoughts
we still talking about saws?
nope,
he made his choice on saws...we're on to "fat chicks or models" now...more important stuff
Port this baby & put on the EL48
It has the small bar mounts right
? Would I be able to put a24" bar or 28" bar if I needed it. Trying to keep options open.

Has the EL 48 its brand new! Not that my 11 model 562's EL44 has had any issues.

I'd give the Stihler my business based on this alone.

My 562 is my go to saw and I love it. M&Rs picture of the Jonsered 2260 made me wonder if you have a Jonsered dealer/Tractor supply nearby. My buddy bought a Jonsered 2166, it's 72cc for about $100 less than a 562. Just a thought.
