That is anybodys guess - both if and when.
Just get a 560xp, it is a lighter version of the same basic saw (small bar mount and lower air filter/cover).

I'd rather have the 560xp!

Me too, and most others that have commented on it!
Very few husqvarna dealers or reps that I have spoken to in Europe knew what a 562xp was, let alone when.
In Europe, 60cc's means a 16-18" bar, usually. So I don't see the demand for a 562, really.

562xp
I don't own a 560xp or a 562xp but I do have the 550xpgAT and I think these saws look like an expensive "running shoe". Someone else mentioned this first and I said to myself, "That is so funny but true; Ya they do look like a running shoe and boy do they run too!"
I will eventually purchase the 562 with autotune (and H.H.). If it punches above its displacement class as the 550 does, I would think the 562 AT would run as a 70cc saw can.

Why such short bars there?
Trees are mostly hardwoods. 70cc is 20" bar territory. 80 is 24-28. 90 is 28+.

I'm interested in a price quote on a 2260. Dealers can PM me or list it here.
I've seen videos on YouTube of guys in Europe (assumed by video description language) with small bars on larger cc saws having to plunge cut the center of the tree after the notch...also having to move from one side to the other then back again just to make the notch and the same for the backcut...
I always think...wouldn't it be easier to just have a larger bar on the saw? Is there some sort of licensing/qualification to run a bigger bar or something?

Nah, no licensing required other than the basic certs simply to even handle a chainsaw and be insured to do so. If you own yer own company, or do yer own work, those may not even be necessary, either. But, yes, I do also find it odd than some folks will plunge cut and cut from both sides as a habit. I can see it as a necessity on the occasional tree. But, as a habit, it seems odd. I personally try to use as much bar as I can mostly to save my back and time.
