60cc Awesomeness, who is king?

No 562 I have ever heard of or seen has ever been retofitted with a standard carb!

So therefore it cannot be done ? Lol

 

[dustinwilt68]

Anything can be done, point is why would anyone want to go backwards? Autotune is set to run your saw perfectly, adjusting for temp, elevation and more, you think you can adjust a saw better then it was designed to be?

Not necessarily “better” but I can make it more powerful and more importantly LAST longer ... the 562xp is a fine saw it’s just that it sucks having to buy 2 per year rather than 1 because they do not last more than 6 months of professional use ! And that’s the Fact Jack !

That is complete BS, plenty of loggers here have had them for 3 or more years, if you only knew half as much as you thought you did.

Once again you do not know about 562's. Great lakes tree Service used his for over 2 years, no issues. You are just reinforcing your lack of knowledge on auto-tune. Do you own one, have owned one, ran one, apparently not.

I have a first generation 562xp still going strong. I don’t baby my huskys. Rum em hard and put them away wet and they always go. I cannot say the same about my stihls. I was at a local fair and they were selling 562xp with 20” bar for $579.00. For that price you can afford 2. One for each hand.

Yah , all the newer “stratocharged” saws run lean and hot ... not a fan of the “controlled air-leak” system especially for longevity ... gimme a conventional muscle saw with an adjustable carb ... I’ve bucked lotsa chunks with my 660 20” bar and it’s STIHL chugging right along ! These new “EPA - friendly” saws don’t seem to possess the longevity of The older models - probably because of the lean conditions inherent in their design !

so if they run hot and lean why haven't we heard of all the blown up saws ? I've chunked up lots of locust with my MS241 and 16" bar and prolly a 100 or so tanks of fuel cuttin in general with no issues.

 

[farmer steve]

There is nothing wrong with autotune, of the 2 major dealers I deal with, in 8 yrs they have had 1 autotune related issue, that saw software was erased, unsure how it happened, they figured it got close to a rare earth magnet.

I’ve got over 150 tanks on my 241c ... to answer your question about blown-up saws ... it’s because it’s not a husqvarna ! Lol

Hi Steve, you have to excise the ignorance of Fabz here, there is a reason Randy banned him from the other site, and I could ask if he knows that the autotune on the 562 is made by Zama but he would just lie and when I told him that Zama is owned by Stihl he would act like he knew that already to, but we all know he doesn't know anything about a saws.

show me the facts on Stihl VS Husky saws blowing up. Looks at my sig dude. i'm a Stihl guy because of dealer support. but i'll run any saw . There are people here that need good info on all saws not somebody blowin up that one is better than the other. It all comes down to good dealer support and what feels good in the operators hands. Saws are a tool and tools wear out. If you don't take care of them they will break no matter what brand. i see pics of saws here and other forums that have about 10 lbs. of crud on hem and the OP wants to know why it don't run right.

Fabz is just a hack, plain and simple, he can't contribute anything knowledgeable because he doesn't know anything, it is ok, I have educated others in the past and I am confident with a lot of hard work, he might even be able to figure out the on/off switch, some day.

I wish you guys talked in hours used, not years or seasons or whatever other useless timelines speak goes on.

How many hours of general pro forestry work does one of these modern saws last before top end rebuild? Bottom end rebuild? How many hours between piston changes? What is the design life of the machine? What are manufacturer recommended intervals between minor amd major maintenances?

I realize usage type determines much of this, but there are somewhat standards or expected life, or what?
