The 562xp in the flesh. So to speak.

[STIHLTHEDEERE]

if it takes much longer the ms 363 will be on the shelves. Can't wait to run a 562, but i'll prolly have to wait six months longer for our local dealer to get them in. They still have 372xp's and think they can still get them.lol can't wait to see a good review on the saw like brad does on most new models.

it wont be a 363, it will be a 362c m-tronic. I don't think it is too far off. We are going to see the new ts-500 fuel injected chop saws at the show in louisville next week. I am hoping the m-tronic is short lived and they go straight to fuel injection.

For some reason, I was more or less expecting a post like that! :msp_wink:

Haha, I'm getting predictable!

I can't complain though, cause I did have that 560XP to play with most of last year.

She shipped with a small mount bar. I got excited there for a minute, thinking they changed it to the lighter 560xp setup, but they didn't. They just shipped the wrong bars with it. Oh well, not like there aren't plenty that fit hanging up

We'll see about running it this weekend, I'll at least fire it up tonight.

Thanks for sharing pics with us!!!

Is the computer for the autotune hidden?

Looks like something out of star trek.

It is built into the air filter holder. The whole thing is very small and compact.

SawTroll wants to know what it weighs.

Thanks for the look, TK!

To heck with the 555, think I'll need one of these. umpkin2:umpkin2:umpkin2:

Got a shot of the ID plate?

i like those murdered out bar nuts hehehe

 

[spike60]

Well done TK.

I'm gonna make a phone call on Monday and get them babies shipped!

And thanks for the heads up on the bars. I notice in web order that they have spec'd the wrong bars for me as well, so I'll get that corrected before they ship.

I sold another 555 this afternoon too. :smile2:

I did not. There are a lot of numbers on there that don't particularly mean anything to me as opposed to the other ID plates. I'm not too interested in finding out at this particular moment, possibly some other time.

 

[Whiteman]

Man....I think I like it.

 

[BlacknTan]

It looks pretty unconventional, and i'm still getting used to that... But I will have one, maybe as a Christmas present to myself... Nobody else likes me well enough to buy me one!

 

[madhatte]

It... looks like it's made to be accessorized with some kind of matching shoes or gloves or something.

I call it Robosaw. Over all it looks good, the air filter looks a bit cheese. I think Stihl has surpassed Husky in the filter department lately. Come on Husky can we say paper element, or at least what they use on the bigger saws like the 372, 576. Really like the angled cylinder, keeps the top nice and low. I like the little window in the fuel tank, a long time coming IMHO. Can't wait to get my hands on one, but it will have to be crazy strong for me to really like it, I'm just not a big fan of 60cc saws as a whole.

Thanks for taking the time to go over the saw, it should be a big seller for Husky.

I actually like the filter. I don't see a huge advantage in this one vs. the smaller on on the 555, and would kind of like to see the saw slimmed down with the smaller filter. I should have taken a better picture of the filter, it is pleated on the bottom for more surfact area. The filter itself may not look great with the felt intertwined with the plastic molding, but it is sturdy and well built. A good, solid fit as well. Along with more surface area and a better fit over the 357xp, it far surpasses the filter setup of the great 262xp.
