Husqvarna 562xp vs. stihl ms362

[dustinwilt68]

I know there are a lot of others, and I respect them all, I plan on have a miller mod saw soon myself and I Have a MOFO already, just not a lot of guys who have them all done and access to test them together. Every one has there own opinion and that is cool, just sharing what I have read and my opinion, I like the smoothness myself, as soon as durability isn't an issue I will own 1, I am just giving them ttime to fix the issues. Till then I have my old carb saws. I dnt log for a living, my dad did and I have tried to stay up on things.

Ahh I see someone has also been drinking tonight. John got a head start on me or is hitting a wicked strong bottle.

As far as I know, the 560/2260/562 always have been a better performer than the MS362, regardless if the power specs of the 362 has been "adjusted up" to match lately. As usual with Stihl "power upgrades", there seem to be no specific reason for it, the specs just change "on paper" (usually to match the competition).

Of course the new version of the MS362 may put out the same max hp, but that doesn't help anyway if it isn't as effective at the rpms that really count.

My point is that max power (hp) ratings only go "so far" - if the difference isn't a major one, surprises may turn up in actual use.

I have one of the last version MS362C-M (manufactured August 2016). I asked the dealer for another board member what the difference with the previous M-Tronic equipped MS362:

Different carburetor
Different solenoid
Different M-Tronic settings to take advantage of the new carburetor
"Star Wars" style sprocket cover

I have no idea how the previous version performs, but this is a very strong performer for a 60cc saw, and I still haven't finished breaking it in due to foul weather setting in. It cuts through 18"-20" Downy oak and English walnut like butter with a 18" bar, extremely impressed with it so far.

No blame from me, just keeping it real. You have something to say about he topic, say it, you want to get personal, take it somewhere else, that's all I'm sayin. I'm really interested in anything you have to say about the two saw being discussed, the rest, not so much.

And here I thought bringing the awesome and fantastic as well as obviously the best 60cc saw the Dolmar 6100 would ruffle feathers so I just left it out. Lol
The 562 has an aluminum handle vs plastic. And can get heated handles in the US.
