Well, there is that group in California who is saying that, now, today, will be the end of the world. Maybe this is the start of it?

The ms261 thread was four times this size in days. Although I'm with you, that is why I buy every new hype that hits the market and run them myself. The 555 more than lives up IMHO

So is anyone saying when the release date is for the 562xp? I want one! How long am I going to be waiting??

Read Spike's post, but disregard the 2014 joke.....
What a three week whirl wind ride for the venerable $750 562XP, give me a 365 and i'll cut some wood. Hope they get it figured out, but the damage has been done. Pitiful and extended delays for release time compounded by an early recall, you couldnt script it any worse!

Been thinking the same thing.
So I'm looking at a Jonsered 2159. Old school to the 562, but a well proven design.
I'm still no hurry for the 562,

I cant help it. I've been in a hurry for the 562XP since I first laid eyes on her. The rev boost is really neat to boot. Yup, I wanted this saw since she first hit AS and still do........

You might already have the cats meow with the 555!!!

So I ran my 359 and 357 saws against a 562 demo saw at a GTG.
I need a 562xp!
Still in no hurry, but I saw this great looking 362xpg for sale the other day.

:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:Suffice to say that I'm no longer disappointed that mine never shipped.Geez, those things would have been scattered all over the place. What a mess that would have been.
We're actually laughing about this over here. I mean, come on, it's a freaking joke. One thing after the other. The new release date will be June, 2014????? Why not?
Seriously though, from what I understand, other product is on the way and everything will cross paths. It's not as if they are going to do something to all of those saws and then send them back. That probably really would take til 2014.
As far as what's actually wrong here, I honestly don't know yet. Will no doubt be interesting.

I surely hope its not an EPA violation. I would imagine that if it was, the 562XP may come back heavier and slower? Lord help us.....

Yes, the delay was disappointing to say the least. Even had FedEx stop by twice today looking to pick up the packages 
On another note I dropped by the local Stihl dealer. I wanted to look at the A/F's on the 261 and 362. Need screwdrivers???? One a torx and the other slotted?? And the 261 looked huge sitting there, bigger than a 346xp that's for sure.

Seriously? Husqvarna wants dealers who sold 562s to track them down and get them back? I wonder what a black market 562 would be worth in a couple months....... :msp_confused:

Both MS 261 and 362 use flat head screw drivers, quarter turn. Must be the 271/291, 311/391 with the t27.

Hey, at least they had saws to look at.
I'm going to try and hack the weborder computer and see if they'll fill my 562 order with 288's from Brazil.

LOL, you may very well be right about that. Thank you. Ya know, I didnt have to get one. But when I saw Mitch's vids I knew I had to have one. Even though it will go to my dads, it will still be in the family........right down the road.....:hmm3grin2orange:
Why not easy-off covers? Guess I missed the memo on that one.
