I am sure the OP just meant to start a nice thread, he wasn't asking for advice.
I wasn't giving advice, just saying that I thought the original question was based around only one saw but specifically said saws. I was pointing out my misinterpretation......

I am sure the respondent was just kindly adding his opinion. Not trying to get some one to back handedly tell him you don't think his opinion is worth adding.I am sure the OP just meant to start a nice thread, he wasn't asking for advice.
You didn't say a thing about any of the husky variants others have kindly added but someone says anything about a non husky and you start attacking.

I wasn't attacking anyone, my point was that there wasn't a specific original question to worry about.
The difference is more like two pounds. See the chainsaw weight thread.
Come on Nikko. You've got to be kidding. Weight and bulk difference? They're the exact same size and what, maybe 1 oz heavier?Other pro saws in that "family" are the 560xp and 2260, that have the power/performance of the 562xp, but without the weight and bulk penalty of it.
The 560xp isn't sold in the US, but the prettier 2260 is.....

560XP: 12.6lbs
562XP: 13.01lbs
562XP: 13.01lbs
How is that possible? Aren't they identical other than bar mount? Has anyone actually weighed both?

560xp, small bar mount and smaller air filter / lower cover. Bit lighter. Not available in the USA.
562xp, large bar mount and larger air filter / high top cover. Bit heavier.

When we are into splitting hairs, the 562 allegedly is a tad wider as well - it has a longer crank on the clutch side.
Don't ask me why it is that way!

If I'm spending the day doing what I see in the video (thanks very much BTW), I'd take the ms261 and ms260 with a few extra chains. The Husky 555 might get my vote for best all-purpose saw, though. Right now I'm thinning and getting rid of some big pine & oak that are sick from carpenter ants or not having enough space & light, so the ms460 is getting the most work. I like the comments about saws that most folks use to do real work.

That's one variant of the specs - but those numbers are higher than the real world weighting results I have seem - pointing more at 12.4 and 12.8.
I don't care enough to weight my own though....
