562xp

[BlacknTan]

are there any rumors flotaing around as to when we can expect the successor to the mighty 262xp?
Does Husky have a specific time of year that they roll out new models??

I'm going to start saving my pennies now in anticipation of the new arrival!

Very little info on that one so far - even the model number is still unknown.

Please keep us posted. The 262XP was one great saw. Had mine for 18 years. I wonder if it's possible to build a worthy successor to the 262XP will all the EPA regs, etc.

I suspect not - but we can always hope.......

Necessity is the mother of invention. We've got stratified charge, microprocessor controlled carbs, etc. and keep wringing more power out of the old two-stroke engine. The old 262XP didn't have any of that. Haven't even scratched the surface of what high-strength composite materials will do for saws yet. If they build it, I will come to buy it.
