I sold my 262xp, but still have a couple 357s' and a 562xp.I sold my 562xp, but I still have my 262xp, and my 357xp. I don't miss the 562 at all.
Tommy boy quote- edited-
Ted Nelson, Customer: But why do they put a guarantee on the Husqvarna 562 box?
Tommy: Because they know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of crap. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time.
Niko my friend I can assure you the issue is real. I mean the primer stops working. These saws are simply not working properly, especially in hot weather, and I know I'm not alone. If anyone says the issue I've had is BS, they're calling me a liar. Which is fine and I really could care less.That depends on which forum(s) you are looking on regarding the 362 (and 261). The most often "reported" ones have to do with the clutch bearing, clutch and PTO side of the crank.
The dominating complaints about the 562 are related to warm starts, and a lot of them happens simply because the user isn't doing what the manual tells him to, and/or the use of low quality pump gas. When such mistakes are as common as they are, it is hard to see if there is a real issue present.
Ditto that's what I did!!!! Couldn't justify the extra cash and the silver sucks lol!!F**** the 562xp! I'd get a 555.
Seems like you ought to go out and buy a 555 Husky and a Dolmar 6100. I think that'll only cost a couple hundred more than a 562xp. You'll get to decide for yourself which you like better, and you'll have a good backup saw should you require one.
I like the small mount, low top, lighter weight, no silver paint of the 555 better. But I am a speed junk so got the xp myself.I certainly don't understand the advice for a 555, and there are members recommending one that have opinions that I respect.
Sure I will!! Stay tuned.To Finn logger be sure and let us know how you like the Dolmar.

Does it have a better crankcase than a 562? Does it have better air filtration than a 562? How about a better clutch? These are the concerns of the OP. He hasn't mentioned warm/hot starts.
How about more durable little things, I assume he means gaskets, clips, tensioner, muffler bolts staying put, etc. Are those better on a 555?
Either you are extremely hard on your saws or.......
