60cc Awesomeness, who is king?

Whatever Fabz, probably for the best, my saws and I am.happy to keep them, 064s have a special place here

Well at least they start/run right junior? Lol

 

[dustinwilt68]

They all run very well

I purchased a ms362cm from a fellow forum member, he did a muffler mod on it. The 362 had a total of 3 tanks run through it when I got it. After I ran 4 or 5 tanks through it really came alive. I would say it would keep up with my ms440 in 6 to 12 inch. Not sure on bigger stuff.

Yah ... properly s/u with a 18” b/c they will rip thru 16” or less wood with authority ... I have one and it purrs like a kitten and drives like a Cadillac!

Yah ... I much prefer the 362cm to the 562xp! The 362cm I built has the stocker outcut over 20% - that’s a lot of wood in a days cutting ... starts runs and cuts ... buddies 562xp back in shop again carb ; he’s gonna get rid of it and get the 362cm

 

[dustinwilt68]

He will be disappointed

 

[Frank Rizzo]

He will be disappointed

Nah ... not at all lol

 

[dustinwilt68]

Ooh yeah he will.....

 

[Frank Rizzo]

both ported ... husky a click quicker but STIHL sounds throatier and has way less rpm in the cut

 

[cuinrearview]

That's the lamest vs. vid I've ever seen. Different bars and chains. Cutting punky wood. That right there is EXACTLY why vids don't mean a damn thing.

 

[dustinwilt68]

Exactly my point Tim!

Lol ! The guy cuttin needs to wear pants ... are those legs or lawn jarts !!!

Right ! If I had a 562xp I’d do a comparison myself - best you’re gonna get off the cuff

But I don’t have one , nor will I ever own one - too many issues with that 562xp ... when/if they run the 562xp is strong Saw ... methinks me 362cm will STIHL be cuttin long after the husky is in the scrap heap !

You realize you are answering your own posts at this point? Maybe a mental health check is in order.

Or perhaps an 064 instead !!!

Ive got to say, after 2 days now of running a 562 in the woods Im pretty much sold on it being the best little saw Ive ever had in my hands. I don't normally run anything under 70cc but this thing will cut with a 70cc saw! The only place it shows its small size is if you bear down on it and load it up it will stall faster than a bigger saw. BUT if your chain is sharp and let it set its own pace its like a tazmanian devil. Another thing running it has done is cause me to want to try the 572 when and if it ever makes it to our shores. If a 60cc saw can outkick its coverage by 10cc then theres a chance the 572 could cut with the 80cc class saws and THAT would be IMPRESSIVE!

Glad you're having fun with the 562. Only issue I have with mine is in warm temperatures. Ran a 572 in 90° temps and it didn't miss a beat, super smooth, great ergonomics, a bit heavy for it's size, but the great ergonomics made up for it IMHO.

Well, finally settled.
