It will be interesting to see how the 2260 comes through.
Can anyone translate the Jonsered website that has the 2260 and see if it has rev boost or whatever they will call it?

Answered my own question.
The 2260 is listed as having "Carb Control" and "Peak Pulse".

I think there's a google option to translate the whole site for you. I've never used it but now might be a good time to try!

Question is - is the 2260 equal to the 560 or 562? The 560 is rumored to never have lost the revboost. I don't believe the 562 has, but it has been said that it doesn't have it.

taplinhill · Dec 20, 2011

From what I have seen, it matches the 560XP a little better, but time will tell.

The 3/4 wrap is the only plus for the 555 over the 562 to me. I think the 555 is a good saw but with all these problems and no wrap I'll stick with the 70cc saws.

I don't believe it before I see some proper evidence either! :smile2:

The wrap handlebar is listed for the 562xp, and none of the others - but I can see no reason it won't fit them all. :smile2:

If the 2260 matches the 560 with the small bar mount. I'm sold!

So, I gotta say it, if one cant even tell if "revboost" works, wtf is the big deal about it?

I have a 562 that has rev boost and the coil ends with an E, the new ones end with an A as we've seen now and they don't have revboost. The prototype I had over a year ago had the revboost too. Too bad, seems like a good feature on the ones that i hav tried. Still an awesome saw just the same.

The 562 I have with revboost has a distinct change in rpm when held wide open. It skips off the rev limiter and then comes down to a lower rpm . If you have run both with and without it is easy to distinguish, especially when you run one right after the other. Maybe i'll swap the coils tomorrow to see if it is in the coil.

It's a subtle difference. I thought something was wrong with the saw at first until I realized what it was. It's pretty slick when you get used to it. It was tough switching back to the 365 after running the 562 for a while.

One thing about it, it's sharp looking. Glad they finally started copying Stihl with the two tone scheme.

otstir:

I'd love to try one out. I love 60cc saws and If they are stronger than a 362 then they are the ticket. Only problem to me is that price. 739? :blob2:

I paid like, 6 more bucks for my NEW 372XP-dub. The price just doesnt make sense to me. I think they'd make a killing with a good 679 price tag. :msp_thumbup:

I paid $709 for my XPW w/ 24" bar and chain OTD. I dont like the price tag of the 562, but am ready to get my hands on one.

MacLaren · Dec 20, 2011

I paid 725.00 for my 390xp. But ya can't really go by what I paid and what other people have paid for saws that have been out for a while. List on a 390xp and 372 are more than a 562.
The 562 just came out.

By the time the EPA is done with Stihl and Husky, the only thing different will be the paint, lol....... PS, the #### in the pot is cool. Then we can close the chainsaw forum altogether, :biggrin:

2stroked2smoke · Dec 20, 2011

I've played with my 562 some more and the rpms go really high for just a second then settle right back into a fourstroke. I don't see the advantage of it at all. The saw revs real quick now with the new muffler mod, and zips off the smaller limbs great. I'm here to tell you guys this is a great saw. I don't have one regret spending the money for it.

Well, you guys got great prices on those saws, well below retail. :msp_smile:

Give it some time and the dealers will sell the 562xp for less. My dealer lists Huskys about $20 under retail and will usually knock a bit more off.

Sounds good man! Also sounds like it has 'Rev Boost', but like you I don't see the need...

Can't wait to get my hands on one.

The point is throttle responce, and for limbing. :smile2:

I limb with a 143 sometimes.

Of course we seldom do Conifers around here.
