Gonna have to be in really good shape to approach or pass the $300 mark. Like Niko says, the prices took an unusual jump not too long ago. IMO mostly due to the hype it gets on sites like this. And while some saws did indeed go for big money, sooner or later a bubble like that is going to burst. The 562 is probably what caused it to burst, along with the fact that when something is overhyped reality eventually brings things back down to Earth.
The technology put into the Husqvarna 262xp is exceptional considering they were designed in the early 1990's. ....
I had three at one time, but now I am down to two.
The technology put into the Husqvarna 262xp is exceptional considering they were designed in the late 1980's. Top Notch Saw IMO...............As per members of this site nothing has compared until the 562xp came out. I don't own a 562xp so I couldn't tell you.
The 262xp saw with the 24" bar has seen lots of use and is one of my go to saws. All 4 are stock and equipped with the Hda 87 carb/3 piece clutches. The 3 saws without bars are for piece of mind:msp_biggrin:
....
They all came with 3 shoe clutches - the only downside with the early ones is that they came with plastic clutch covers - the late ones came with mag ones.
.... To each his own. :msp_wink:
Yes - but I believe most will disagree with you. However, it would be no fun on here if everyone agreed on everything!
Plastic is lighter, and the plastic covers had the 2 tabs that locked in the rear of the cover assembly into the case to provide a better fit. ... To each his own. :msp_wink:
I know on my '90 262 those same tabs have worn right through the mag case, so that plastic is plenty tough.

Well, there must have been a reason that they changed them to magnesium in 1996 or so (I don't remember the exact time, but it has been posted on here).
