Hello I am in the market for a chainsaw and am considering the 562XP.
I have read bad review on it regarding the air filter and hot starts. To my understanding the air filter issue has been fixed/patched... not sure which one.

Is the current 562XP a good reliable saw, or is it still a lemon to a degree?

I currently have a Jonsered 2150 which has and still is serving me well and thought that the 562XP would be a good 2nd saw for slightly bigger stuff.

Any information and opinions would be much appreciated.

A lot of what I will be felling and bucking is Australian hardwoods like ironbark, not necessarily large diameter, but the timber density is more my concern.
If this is a good saw, what do you believe it's limits would be regarding hardwood (Tree size and specie) ?

Thanks all
