562xp is it right for me?

[Deleted member 117362]

Hello gang.
Have done a little lurking on the site and just a few questions before I pull the trigger on a new saw.

The 562xp will be my only saw for a while, will be used to cut fire wood for my OWB in our new house, although not new to cutting wood am new to heating full time with it so it will see 8-10 cords a year maybe more this first year as I do have some seasond that came with the house.

My question is, is this a good saw for all around use? Am going to buy it with a 24" bar and buy an 18-20" to go with. Or should I just buy a 20" and be done?

Thanks

Whatever you purchase, post a picture. Thanks. Just saying, by the 562xp.

With your uncle in the business, the 562xp w/20" b/c would be my first choice, hands down. Since you're cutting for your home heat, I'd get the smaller saw sooner than later as a backup and for the times when you get the 562 pinched.

Thank you all for the replies, I've got just a few more pennies to save and will have the 562xp w/20 b&c on order

Good choice. I am going 555. I do have another small CC stihl for trail cutting/trimming/small stuff.

If u cut for heat I would have a 562 and a 545.

That 562 with a twenty inch bar will serve you perfectly,enjoy. Make sure to learn how to sharpen a chain and keep it sharp.

I bought a 562 on Monday and am beyond impressed how it pulls a 20" bar through hardwood.

Same motor in my Jonsered 2260, (20" bar, LGX chain) and it powers right through this 24" maple like crazy!

I can say that about my wife of the last 20 years.

Husqvarna hit a home run with the 562xp. It would be great to replace the 372 with a 572 based on that new motor.

My 562xp is a great saw as well. If I had to choose only one, I think it's the one I'd choose.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but all the 562's are Autotune, right?

I believe you need a 70cc saw for your needs.

everyone back east think they need 70cc for 50cc wood! lol get this, some even think they need 90cc for 70cc wood i have plans for the future brad. you will be invited (if you don't mind gypo logger being there) lol

You definitely made the decision easy with all the prays of the 562xp.
