I was looking for a bigger saw then the 562 but thats the biggest I can find locally in a husqvarna
It hangs with many 70cc saws. Especially for it's weight.
Obviously wood type and bar length play a huge role along with chain condition.

I was considering a 372 or a 572 but local dealers don't have any
It hard to find a saw over 60cc in my area without ordering it and I hate doing without putting my hands on it
372 is ALWAYS a great choice.

Earlier this year, my local dealer was able to find a 572XP a few states away for me. This was on a Tuesday-I had it by Friday.
It's didn't have the bar length I wanted, but that was an easy fix.
Your folks should be able to do similiar.

Wood for be pecan, oak, ash, black locus and a few others I would like to run a 24 inch bar maybe a 20 at times
I am looking at putting an 18in bar on my husky 450 rancher so this saw would be my mid sized saw
I already have a husqvarna 345, 450 rancher, and a stihl 660 clone

I know a had one found last fall in really good shape with a 28 in bar on it for 450 dallors but it dam near caused a divorce when I went to by it
That was a good buy. I got a divorce once, it's not all that bad.

My opinion on a 562xp
It's like a Glock. No heart, no soul, the stupid thing just works. It's easy to use and does what you tell it to every time. It bugs me how well the dumb thing works.

This!!
The 562 was the bad ass of the 60cc class until the Stihl Ms400c came along. Even now it is a damn good saw. I loved the one I had.
Yes but the 562xp is a better value in my opinion. But no doubt the 400c is a nasty good saw.
