Need another midsize saw....

[kent550]

....should I go for one more 372 or go for the 562?
I already have a 372 & a 560 and are happy with both, but I need a second opinion.

No brainer--372xp

You seem well equipped to make that decision yourself!

Maybe so, but I like both saws so much. Some +/- would help from people who tried them too

The 562 and 372 can use the same bar.

I would go 372, still some kinks to be worked out in the 562, have one in the shop less than a month old and less then 20 hours with a code 17

Troll you're too nice today, the question is freaking me out since he already owns the saws, nobody elses opinion will be as good as his???? That being said the question between those saws is the hardest question you could ask someone with CAD, I want both, and need neither.

Sounds like you haven't done your homework, and updated yourself on that generation of saws? :msp_confused:

they are actually fairly nice to work on, I have only had two back in the shop , one for a warm start issue and this one which is bringing up code 17 " engine seizing" " low idle " , but looking at the run time compared to throttle position , I would say it is cold seizing ? due to start up then WOT, no warm up period. overall good designs and husky seems to be working well with the dealers getting this warranty stuff covered. even if " operator error" may play a role , I really dont have anything against the 562, probably the best stock out of the box performance for any saw.

does your shop have the Auto tune Software ? what kind of problems are you seeing, Customer complaints?
What trouble codes are coming up ?

 

[RandyMac]

You need to bump up 10-20cc to get to medium, think 80cc+

 

[morewood]

I would think it boils down to whether you want to do the tuning or let the saw. Simple as that.

...or wait for the 572xp (or whatever it will be called). It can't be that long till it hits the market.....

 

[sunfish]

If I needed another 60cc saw, I'd get another 562xp.

Mine is two years old and no problems. Most impressive stock saw I've ever run!

Maybe in your neck of the woods.. Heck, I will be impressed if I can have a 543 in my hands before the end of this year, let alone a 572.

 

[dominic]

My friend bought a 545 on my advice and couldn't be happier.

So, I am not a 5-series "hater."

That said, I'd grab another 372 while you can still get them.

My .02 cents

The 543 allegedly is out here - but I don't really care. It is lighter than the MS241 and the PS-420/421 - but still too close to some 50cc saws, considering the loss of power.

That is just my opinion though - some others will of course have different opinions! :msp_biggrin:

 

[RiverRocket]

You already have two awesome 60cc and 70cc saws....I would buy a 346 ...Then you would have an awesome 50cc saw..:msp_biggrin:

 

[mdavlee]

Go 390xp. That's a good medium sized saw that justs a bigger version of the 372.
