What is the diff between 555 vs 562 ?

Power rating, weight, bar mount, and some details. This has been written a lot about here earlier.

The big question then, is where you have that info from, except some rumors? :msp_unsure:

Here I am testing the new Husqvarna 562XP chainsaw on a show in Arnhem (Netherlands). This saw is coming out in oktober 2011, the local stores are already ordering them.
They stiil have X-Torq and Autotune, but the technician from Husqvarna told me the Revboost function has been cancelled, i don't know why though!

How do you feel about the saw now that you have had a chance to comment on design, disassemble for inspection, report on weight and finally had a chance to run the saw? You are the hands on guy the community is looking to for feedback on the long awaited 562xp.....
Biggest question for me is do you think this stock saw is able to pull a 28" bar as rated by Husky?

I don't know about the revboost. If you go full throttle it winds out and then fourstrokes. So far I'm not impressed with the acceleration. If you let it idle for about 5 seconds and then accelerate wide open it has a flat spot. In the wood the saw pulls hard. If you stop in the cut and restart it pulls into the cut again hard. You don't feel the flatspot if your cutting.
What kind of wood were you cutting in the firewood video? I am glad to see this saw in use. I am sure you will like it.

I do not PASS RUMORS. I got this right from service rep

The one thing I noticed right away is how narrow the saw is. It feels very slender in the hands. I didn't feel much difference in weight from the 357. If anything the 562 was a touch lighter. I had cut quite a bit of wood with the 562 before I shot the video and had hit quite a bit of ice with the blade. I'm sure it would cut faster with a fresh chain. The 562 is much easier on fuel than the 357 too.
If you get time get a video with it compared to the 365bb. My thinking is if it will pull a 24" full comp in hardwood then it's a step in the right direction as it will make the next step to a 80-90 cc more logical then to 70cc.

My 365bb is very strong. It's one of the strongest saws That I've put together and is ported with a 064 piston running backwards in it. I can put 24" bars on both and video it though. After I've had a few more tanks run through the 562 I'll try a 28" bar on it.

OK Mdavlee, I went out and put a 24" bar on the 562 and broke out the 365bb and ran a comparison. Video is uploading now. I think you will be pleased at how the 562 handles a 24" bar. And before anybody says anything the 365 only has 1 tank of fuel ran on the piston/cyl and is running pig rich on purpose.
