Best pricing on a husqvarna 555 or 562xp

[Mich4x4]

Ok. Just got off the phone with Nate (fordf150). Super nice guy. He does not have any 2260s left but gave me a very, very good price on a 2258 he has.

However, I have decided the 2260 or 562 will be mine. I called spike60. No 2260's available. I cannot find a 2260. If anyone knows a dealer that has one (not old stock) please shoot me a pm. At the very least I would like to get a quote on one to compare it to the 562 quote I already have.

I didn't realize there were so few left. If this is what you want i'd grab it.

Hmmm.....I wonder how old the saw is.

I got mine in early 2016 and it has the updated el48 carb so if its within the past 2 years its the newest version.

Can one not get 20" Jonsered branded bars on the 2260? The one linked on eBay comes with a Oregon bar.

Whatever I get, I want the most up to date version.

The bars that come with them are Oregon bars with the Jonsered name on it just like in the pic.

Your 455 bar says Husqvarna. Same bar.

and the gray on these saws is junk, and the reason the new 572 has the wrinkle finish grey on it(it looks to be more durable, let's hope so).

True dat! The grey on the 562 is junk. And, a real pain to do anything with if you don't like it. Other than that, I think Husky has come a long way on correcting their heat and auto-tune issues. The newer ones seem to be really good saws.

Check out this guy's videos. He's running a small mount version of the 562 (EU only model 560). You can see how fast and agile the saw is in action.

I'm not sure if the 2260 even had the troubled carbs on them. I think the 562 was made a few years before the 2260 was ever made and the problem was on the early 562's.

 

[Mich4x4]

If....the eBay saw is a newer model that includes the original box, packaging, manual etc....I am buying it. I have messaged the seller. If it does not (New old stock that has been sitting for years), I am calling the dealer that gave me the price on the 562 and buying it.

This is where I am at now unless Someone has a lead on another 2260.

Who needs a wrap on a 60cc saw anyways?

Me!!! Lol. I ordered one for my project 562XP.

 

[KenJax Tree]

Here is mine the day i got it

 

[Mich4x4]

Ok. Ken mentioned that he wasn't sure if the 2260 even had the troubled carbs. Can Someone tell me when the 562 started being available vs the 2260?

you can't not like that. the pics of the red saw, that is.

If its from late 2015 or newer its the latest version

Ebays saws are 2013 vintage. Looks like i am calling the guy on a 562 monday....unless something else turns up

Great video.
Not saying I wouldn't want the 560, I've actually always wanted one, even though I prefer the orange on the 555; but everything he did could easily be done with a 450 rancher , this is where the need/want comes into play and all the more if we're talking about a few cords a year.
That being said I've tried few variations of all the huskys(in this class) except the 560, but if you want to ship me a 560 .

Me!!! Lol. I ordered one for my project 562XP.

And why not a little heat while your at it .

I'd bee more than happy to send you a 560. Not sure what the price would be.

That thing looks good wearing a wrap. I'm thinking mine will come in handy. All my other saws are standard, so the 562XP will be my only wrapped saw.

Also got my eyes on a real nice brand new, old stock, Makita 9010. Been just sitting there on the shelf collecting dust. Not relevant to the thread, but just saying in case anybody wants one.....

What’s this nasty talk about need [emoji1] I know I could get by with smaller saws and maybe less but where’s the fun in that. I hope my wife doesn’t read this [emoji23]
