The all new HUSQVARNA 562xp mark ll CHAINSAW gets it's first work out today. It does not dissapoint!! I think it will be my new favorite saw for a full day of cutting! It is awesome!
It's strange, why your 562 "II" hasn't a black decorative top like all the other models of the XP type ? The 562 "mark II" I saw yesterday at my dealer's was just like the "mark I" was, with a black piece on top.
Thanks Chris you convinced me on a new 562, my old one is a beast with no problems after a ton of hours,I think il run a new one for firewood and run my old one for stumps.😊
The. older I get, lighter saws are more appealing! I cut a bunch of tree tops today and as you can imagine they were laying everywhere all tangled up and started with my Sthil 462 and at 14lbs I only lasted about 2 hours with that thing then switched to my Echo 620 which is a bit lighter then I was spent so I pulled out my little Echo 355T with a tiny 14" bar and and it was a breathe of fresh air and used that the rest of the day. I was cutting 10-12" limbs and yes it took me a few seconds longer but I wasn't dying lol.
I don't get it. What is this thing about having overlong guidebars on every chainsaw in USA?? Here in Sweden, where the Husqvarna pro chainsaws are made, the most common length on 50cc is 13" or 15", 60cc 16", 70cc 20" and 90cc 24" or 28" for tree felling. 😀😀
Those Husqvarna saws with the x tough light bar are freaking sexy looking! I always thought they were cool in your videos, but when my buddy recently bought a 550xp and got a 24 inch x tough light bar (that 550 actually pulls that 24 inch bar and chain rather well) and its even more beautiful in person. Either that or a 562xp mark 2 are gonna be my next move one day 👍 GNI
Great video Chris! I have 2 of the first generation 562’s and have thankfully had good luck with them. I’ve been waiting for the Mark II to show up at my local dealer. I will have one soon!
Nice saw! Glad to hear that Husqvarna corrected the problem and took care of their customers Once the 562 gets a few more tanks of gas through it it would be interesting to see if it gains some power once broke in. Enjoy!
Watching you break in the new saw! Reminds me of you doing all of your cutting this way before you got the wood processor. I’m a fan of both. Keep the videos coming.
Another fine comparison👍. Trade offs with everything and being of shorter stature bar reach is less important for me! I find the 562 balances better with a 20" but 24" is useable, 572 balances better with a 24" and the 592 balances best with a 28" but I run a 24"🤪. .325 non-safety chain is available. Never had much use for a 60cc preferring either the 50cc or 70cc jump maybe a 60cc is in my future. 1%💩😁
Buy them all 😎 I’m a stihl fanboy and ran 28 for years, but now have 25 on two saws and it’s my sweet spot. Buuut when you get into a 20-36 nice and straight, 1-3 cord stick of fir, it’s fun to let the 32 500 with foam filter and straight shot exhaust rip. Sometimes it’s nice just for felling too. I too always carry 2-3 saws, and have a buddy that cuts firewood for a living and he runs one saw, wears no ppe, takes his young kids and dogs along every day, running long bar only using mauls, makes you feel smart lol his yard is full of dead saws, and I looked at his 462 and his bar rails were really sharp and no paint on the tip
Ha I wish I could do That I used to now after 8-10 hours I am spent! Not long ago I could go 14-16 and wish I had more time! Getting old is not for the weak! Ha!
Very informative. Was thinking about exchanging my 460 Rancher for a 572 XP but now you have me thinking 562. 460 3.62 Hp @ 13.2 lbs. , 562 4.7 @ 13.4 Lbs. 572 5.8.@ 14.5 Lbs. $300.00 May be the determining factor, plus my age 🤔
Thanks for the review. It confirms my choice of the 562xp mk2 once my 266 finally died after 25plus years of service. The 572 was a bit too heavy for me.
Just bought one a few weeks ago. I’m getting a 28” bar for it and I added a wraparound handle bar and for a lefty like myself, it gives you a couple of different grab options. I do like the longer bars, I have a 585 with a 36” for my chainsaw mill and for bigger wood around my farm. We have some decent sized old pines that are going to become boards very soon. Much love from NC from another old guy 🤙. Be careful out there.
Nice comparison Chris. I think I understand why you waited so long to get a 562 xp mk2 instead of the old 562 xp (insider information). I wouldn’t be afraid of the new mk2’s. I’m not in as big of a hurry as you tho. Hoping my next post cataract doctor appointment results in being released for saw duty again. GNI
I think where you will see the big difference is when the chain starts to dull and you put the pressure on the saw to finish. that extra HP will get you through.
my 650 evl echo is 64 cc its a 80s model and it runs a 24 inch bar on it like a champ. Plus i have a rule i wont run anything hard unless it is 60 cc and up otherwise anything less just isn't worth it for me.
Thanks Chris. I have a 455 Rancher and it has worked great for 20 years. Never had one issue. But what I notice now is that it is heavy! Maybe it's because I am older, lol. I cut about 7 cords a year and it works great. I have purchased a Dewalt electric top saw, 12 inch. It is quite and lite weight. It also keeps me from working too long, as the battery lasts about 2 hours. That makes you take a break. You have got me thinking about a lighter power saw than the 455!
“Music” I say. My wife always comes out into garage when I watch your cutting videos. She says, “How can you watch that? Those chainsaws are so loud and annoying! Can you turn it down?” “It’s Music” I say, and then of course I turn it down. 😂
Awesome vid an nice work today Chris! Always enjoy my visit to the channel!🔥💯👍. Definitely an awesome saw! Thanks for the demo and chat! See you soon! Andrew from NB :)
Awesome video love seeing the saws in a pile once again,longer vid, new husky,wood description,just everything, awesome, awesome video Chris, thanks for this , i appreciate it
I got 550 mark 2 this year. They had them discontinued to good price. It fast little saw with 325 chain on it. It be great for working in a tree or ladder. Can’t beat a 372 or 572. 28 my favorite bar. I am 6’2” it fits me well. Husky are great saws. Keep up the good work.
Have about 4 tanks through mine. Great saw so far. I have owned around 10 mk1 562's. Power in mk2 is much more broad and smooth. Pulls a good bit harder.
My old man went through 4 of the 562’s in a month. Like you said Husquvarna gave him a new one everytime. Going into the 5th one they let him pick a different saw and he went with the old reliable 372.
I’m surprised you don’t have a 550mk2. With 18-20 inch bar and the key is Stihl rs .325 chain. Not the safety chain. Wood under 8 inch this saw will out cut a 572. And being 11 lbs you can throw it around all day and still feel good
I like my 20 inch bar best. 16 is too small and 24 is a bit big for my liking. We all have our preferences. I wouldn't even want to use a 36 or 48 inch bar and couldn't imagine cutting with a 60 inch bar.
Nice vid!! I have a 372XPG (OE from 2007), new 545 Mark II and now a brand new 572XP. I got a great deal, so it was $100 cheaper than a 562 (in Holland/Germany!) Can't wait to try that saw. Next fall/winter I hope to cut some wood.
Should try a 565, I just picked one up and IMO its the epitome of a firewood saw. Probably pulls about as hard as a stock 372 but wider power band and more low end. Like a stronger 365 special.
I had a 562xp and agree it's a good all-around saw. It's super fast.. when it runs. My 562 was a b**** to start. I had it in the shop twice with maybe 4-6 hours on the saw. I run aviation fuel in it and know how to properly start a saw. This was the fussiest saw I've ever started, if it didn't start in the first few pulls, it was flooded. It was my tipping point and transitioned all my saws to Stihl. In my humble opinion, my Stihl saws start and run easier although I admit the Husqvarna saws are probably faster.
I was just wondering what your thoughts on the different between this saw in the 400 cm is if the $ 200 dollar is worth the weight and horsepower and engine displacement ?
I cut 5 facecords of dry to semi dry apple,cut down like 2 yrs . It didn't like being cut. It's dense. Dry ash and elm can be tough cutting also. I've got 2 460 ranchers that I hardly use anymore since i getting a 661 and 572. I Want to just get another 572,24" bar to replace them since they are way faster. Faster is better. Time is $, especially in firewood and logging and tree removals . My brother has 2 562s all u ever need for cutting softwood and pine. Which is mostly what he sawmills every day. I've run alot of smaller stihls and they always never start easy as husqvarna and they seem square and bulky and flimsy handles. The anti vibrant handles on the huskys makes and the difference for production cutting every day yr round
Like it when you nominate the logs you are cutting Chris. You suredo have a great supply of hardwoods over there. That 562 looks like a winner to me.(speaking as a 74 yr old.) My 395 seems to have put on weight lately. Good video,liked the comprehensive descriptions of each saw. Cheers from HB NZ
Chris, didn’t your 572’s come with a second (more aggressive) set of double dogs? Mine did, but I put West Coast Saw three point dogs on my saws. One more thing amigo. West Coast Saw sells .325 full chisel chain, non-safety chain.
Love the content of this one! Comparing the 562 to the 572 is kind of like comparing the 572 to the 592. There is no replacement for displacement. But I understand the thoughts on the compare. I find myself running my 572 until I start getting tired then go to a smaller saw. The right tool for the job! is always in the game as well.
I turned sixty in March, I’ve got a bunch of Stihl saws, 034, 440, 064, 660 and 880. A couple of years ago I bought a Stihl 241c. A tiny saw with a 14” bar and a narrow chain. It weighs nothing and cuts like a light sabre. You can bury the bar in hardwood and it still rips. If you really look at the diameter of the logs you are cutting it’s pretty rare that you need much more of a saw. My back loves it. I recently bought a 346, it’s a little bit heavier but has 1hp more, another great small lightweight pro saw. See if you can demo one
now thats the size of the average load of poles we get. Now do you think you can cut a full cord on one tank of fuel. I'm considering a new saw and if I do I think the 562 mark II will be my choice.
Love your review of the saws. You’re a pro and you given the best advice. I’m an arborist in uk love watching your videos. Keep up the great work Best Mark
Good morning Chris I like that 562 XP mark two I have the 562 XP nice saw but you seem to have a little bit more snap than mine. Looks like your playing pick up sticks with the chainsaw God bless and have a great day
It's large mount D009 It and anything bigger can run a .404, .063 gage I've seen a 562 in person rigged with .404 It's also the smallest saw available with the option for the G and W options.
If you can cut all day with one saw and can't with the other which one do you really cut more wood with? As a added benefit it doesn't wear you out as much so the next day you aren't sitting on the couch because your sore.
G’morning Chris. Awesome saws,, lean, strong, efficient. Just like me !! That might take place as most bestest ? Nice to see the carnage. GoodNightIrene
Because the chain and bar is new, I would recommend that you file the rakers down a little. The saw isn't under full load. Do you guys just cut firewood in this log pile or do you guys go logging? It's a huge difference wich saw to choose an how good it is if you go 8 hour logging and earn your money with it or if you are on even ground, no branches, no wholes and you have to cut down and process trees the whole day. For a day in the woods you want a saw as light and powerful as you can get - Maybee even ported so you have to carry less weight because your gear weights enough too. Because of the telling dogs - try the west coast 3 point dogs. You will love them because you get so much more performance. Greetings from Germany
We do a lot of kinds of cutting. There are over 1400 videos onj the channel showing the kind of work we do...logging to tree service to firewood. Thanks!
Yup, he does, it is a light bar and it pulls it just fine, most of his saws have 24" bars and he likes them best, he will try a 20" bar some time and see if there is much difference.....ME!
New Protos helmet questions. You've had a chance to wear them in production. Worn them enough to still like them? I also noticed you don't seem to be using the helmet mic in making your videos like you thought you would. Is the sound quality not there or do you just need to remember to use it? I 've got a group of 3 that work together a lot and I am considering these for the group to improve our ability to talk back and forth. Any plans to try these out with multiple people talking back and forth soon? thanks for helping us with equipment choices.
Yup, I used it at a arborist tree job just the other day...awesome! We need to get a bluetooth adapter for the camera to record voice to the video...we are working on it...soon!
@@InTheWoodyard thanks, btw did you remember to share the arbsession discount code for watchers of your channel, I did not notice it mentioned in the video, but I got it when I name dropped your channel to the arbsession folks when I was working on my order.
562 Mk II come with a double dog setup. I had the same question when i got mine. Dont forget about the deletion of the decompression valve. Got the 562 and ms400 about a month apart. Both saws have their attributes.
20" bar the 400 takes it. Longer than that, 562 takes it. 400 will not pull a 28" well. Manages a stihl 25". She shines with s 20". Considering getting the 400 ported so I can run a 28" if needed. 562 oils way better than the 400 also.
I was 25 years old when I got my first chainsaw. (Born in 1951) Back then, the first Husqvarna saws came out in this country. Just imagine if you were that age now with the tools for wood cutting they have available today!
Great that you inform other loggers to be responsible with using protection when cutting. :) Great saws!
Thanks 👍 I hate seeing chainsaw cuts on people.
It's strange, why your 562 "II" hasn't a black decorative top like all the other models of the XP type ? The 562 "mark II" I saw yesterday at my dealer's was just like the "mark I" was, with a black piece on top.

It's fissiks!
Haaaa! Yup!
How would compare this to the 565xp? I'm torn! Thanks for your content!

We have bigger trees. We cut trees that are often 3' to 4' and more here . You forests are highly managed and harvested ours are mostly natural.

Yes and yes...just get one!!!........or three.
I went with shorter bars they rip

That is awesome!
Looks like a good saw! I love cutting with my Jonny 2159 (Husky 359xp) after lugging around a 372xp most of the time.
It is very nice!
Nice saw! Glad to hear that Husqvarna corrected the problem and took care of their customers Once the 562 gets a few more tanks of gas through it it would be interesting to see if it gains some power once broke in. Enjoy!
Very true! We will see!
For the cutting you do, double dogs is nice. For stumping, a single dog is better along with no full wrap handle.
I like double dogs a lot!
Watching you break in the new saw! Reminds me of you doing all of your cutting this way before you got the wood processor. I’m a fan of both. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks, will do !
Another fine comparison👍. Trade offs with everything and being of shorter stature bar reach is less important for me! I find the 562 balances better with a 20" but 24" is useable, 572 balances better with a 24" and the 592 balances best with a 28" but I run a 24"🤪. .325 non-safety chain is available. Never had much use for a 60cc preferring either the 50cc or 70cc jump maybe a 60cc is in my future. 1%💩😁
Well said! You would like it she cuts great!
So why do they still sell the mk1 if it has issues? My local dealer doesn’t have the mkii so I’m not keen to buy something with a known problem.
I do not know...???old stock??
Buy them all 😎 I’m a stihl fanboy and ran 28 for years, but now have 25 on two saws and it’s my sweet spot.

Yes, exactly...it is a very nice saw...much better so far!

I think it will, great so far!
That took me back to the days when I first started watching your videos. Just you, a saw and a splitter.
I like that a lot. ❤

Haha. Dats me. lol
I'm very glad most shops set up the saws and test them getting my new saw them doing that really saved me this last time!

I find myself running my 572 until I start getting tired then go to a smaller saw. The right tool for the job! is always in the game as well.
Yup, the weak link in cutting is usually me.
I turned sixty in March, I’ve got a bunch of Stihl saws, 034, 440, 064, 660 and 880. A couple of years ago I bought a Stihl 241c. A tiny saw with a 14” bar and a narrow chain. It weighs nothing and cuts like a light sabre. You can bury the bar in hardwood and it still rips. If you really look at the diameter of the logs you are cutting it’s pretty rare that you need much more of a saw. My back loves it. I recently bought a 346, it’s a little bit heavier but has 1hp more, another great small lightweight pro saw. See if you can demo one
That sounds great! I just got some Stihl saws and i will be doing a lot with them in the future!
🤘
Thanks!
Because I like it❤️
Yup!
now thats the size of the average load of poles we get. Now do you think you can cut a full cord on one tank of fuel. I'm considering a new saw and if I do I think the 562 mark II will be my choice.
It will do so I believe, the 572 is a little faster but not a lot!
Love your review of the saws. You’re a pro and you given the best advice.
I’m an arborist in uk love watching your videos.
Keep up the great work
Best

Thanks so much for watching from across the pond MARK!
I have a 2020 562xpg, it's been a great saw. I'm looking to get an ms462, it's about the same weight as a 562 but is 72cc.
Yup the 462 is the same as the Husqvarna 572...both great saws!
Good morning Chris I like that 562 XP mark two I have the 562 XP nice saw but you seem to have a little bit more snap than mine. Looks like your playing pick up sticks with the chainsaw God bless and have a great day
Yup, I like it just fine so far! Thanks!
It's large mount D009
It and anything bigger can run a .404, .063 gage
I've seen a 562 in person rigged with .404
It's also the smallest saw available with the option for the G and W options.
Yup, it a sweet little saw!
If you can cut all day with one saw and can't with the other which one do you really cut more wood with? As a added benefit it doesn't wear you out as much so the next day you aren't sitting on the couch because your sore.
I like to start with the big fast saw and work my way down to tye smaller lighter saws as I tire.
That will probably be my next saw , the old 576 I have just won't wear out so I will add another one . Nice problem to have .
It is a very nice saw!
The scabbard is a Stihl copy, and the fuel and chain oil caps are also Stihl copies. It is good, just saying. Congrats on the new saw.
Thanks!
You know Chris that you’re going to get a ear 👂 full from someone in the comments but I think it was still a excellent show and video 😮😊❤
Thanks, I am used to full ears..it comes with the job!
Have you heard anything about problems with the 572. Just curious. Thanks.
Yup, lots...that was why they totally re-build it...this one is all new..way better.
G’morning Chris. Awesome saws,, lean, strong, efficient. Just like me !! That might take place as most bestest ? Nice to see the carnage.
GoodNightIrene
As my carcass gets old and decrepit I need a lighter saw and this is very nice!
Because the chain and bar is new, I would recommend that you file the rakers down a little. The saw isn't under full load.
Do you guys just cut firewood in this log pile or do you guys go logging? It's a huge difference wich saw to choose an how good it is if you go 8 hour logging and earn your money with it or if you are on even ground, no branches, no wholes and you have to cut down and process trees the whole day. For a day in the woods you want a saw as light and powerful as you can get - Maybee even ported so you have to carry less weight because your gear weights enough too.
Because of the telling dogs - try the west coast 3 point dogs. You will love them because you get so much more performance.
Greetings from Germany
We do a lot of kinds of cutting. There are over 1400 videos onj the channel showing the kind of work we do...logging to tree service to firewood. Thanks!
Getting old happens to us all, my 461 with the 28in bar i seem to run it more than the one with the 32-inch bar.
Yup, a longer bar is harder to handle no doubt!
Right on Chris, I’m so glad you got the new 562! Great saw to complement your bigger saws! Happy cutting down in Wisconsin my friend!
Thanks a bunch for watching!!
And, TA=TAAA---color coordinated. With a new ( and "improved" ) 24" tool....congrats Chris !
Thanks!!
I run a 24” light bar on my 562 xp MK 2 with a skip chain. It rips pretty good!
Very nice!
I don't see your zip tie.....How do you know these are cut into proper lengths...thanks
Yup, brand new saw, i put it on a couple videos later.
Looks like a very nice saw.. for a Husky😂 I would say you have found your new joy to run saw!👊🏻GNI
She is a real beaut Clark!
he says he likes lighter weight and chain speed and yet he puts a 24 inches bar on a 60cc saw LOL
Yup, he does, it is a light bar and it pulls it just fine, most of his saws have 24" bars and he likes them best, he will try a 20" bar some time and see if there is much difference.....ME!
Awesome comparison on saws, keep up the great content my friend cheers👌🏻🔥🇨🇦
Thanks, will do!
This saw is the answer to that question you were asking your viewers a few months back about having to choose one saw for the rest of your life.
Yup, I think it would be a great choice for sure!
Видео класс
??
Like the old saying goes, there's no replacement for displacement.
Some times yes other times..how much can you handle.....
the double dog is really nice for flush cutting on the ground. you can walk around the flared stump.
Yup!
That was a great side by side comparison. I bet the 562 will get better with 4-5 more tanks through her.
Yup, I think so too...thanks!
For that size wood the new saw cuts real good. I think that will be your new favorite saw because of the weight to cut speed ratio on these size logs.
Yup, I was truly impressed with it ...very nice saw!
New Protos helmet questions. You've had a chance to wear them in production. Worn them enough to still like them? I also noticed you don't seem to be using the helmet mic in making your videos like you thought you would. Is the sound quality not there or do you just need to remember to use it? I 've got a group of 3 that work together a lot and I am considering these for the group to improve our ability to talk back and forth. Any plans to try these out with multiple people talking back and forth soon? thanks for helping us with equipment choices.
Yup, I used it at a arborist tree job just the other day...awesome! We need to get a bluetooth adapter for the camera to record voice to the video...we are working on it...soon!
@@InTheWoodyard thanks, btw did you remember to share the arbsession discount code for watchers of your channel, I did not notice it mentioned in the video, but I got it when I name dropped your channel to the arbsession folks when I was working on my order.
My first time watching a video this late in the day lol, I just like a saw that cuts and I am a happy camper
Thanks Frank!
Thumbs up on this video because you said (teenie weenie) cheers 😊
Thanks!!!
borrow your mates 562 v1, and do a comparison video.
It is on my to do list already...thanks!
Hey Chris, wait till you get that 62 broken in I think it’ll even be better
Yup, probably so!
562 Mk II come with a double dog setup. I had the same question when i got mine. Dont forget about the deletion of the decompression valve. Got the 562 and ms400 about a month apart. Both saws have their attributes.
Nice...which one is your favorite so far??
20" bar the 400 takes it. Longer than that, 562 takes it. 400 will not pull a 28" well. Manages a stihl 25".
She shines with s 20". Considering getting the 400 ported so I can run a 28" if needed. 562 oils way better than the 400 also.
Nice saw!! Look forward to more reviews on it!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Thanks! Will do!
👍🏻👏🪵
Thanks!!!
Nice saw. You are a natural for sales. You should open a dealership.
Naw, then I would have to talk to people all day...I like talking to the camera (you guys) better.
Thanks Chris.
I need to get 28" bars so I do not have to bend over as much HAHAHAHAHA
Yup, 24"-28" and you will bend less for sure...but watch that tip!
@@InTheWoodyard if You remember how tall I am HAHAHAHA
Good morning everyone great saw like Chris love it ( Ty Ron
Hello Thanks!!
Sounds like a perfect saw for me.
Maybe so!
Chris you can’t beat that saw I have cut a lot of wood with mine and can run it all day I’m 71
Nice...she is a real beaut!
I file mine with a stihl 2 in1 file sharper than anything I’ve ever seen
Now run it next to that big echo
We have plans!
I was 25 years old when I got my first chainsaw. (Born in 1951) Back then, the first Husqvarna saws came out in this country.
Just imagine if you were that age now with the tools for wood cutting they have available today!
I would give a lot to be 25 again!
Do you use alkylate gasoline?
Premium... NO corn!
Nice. Thank You fir sharing
Thank you fir watchin'!
👍👍
Thanks!!!
Look like some good running saws.
Yup, it is a real beaut!
