Beautiful saw! I love how the color scheme accentuates the magnesium case, it reminds me of a Ducati for some reason.

I want one.
 
TK I haven't seen anything get passed it yet, but I still wish it was a paper filter like the one on the 261 or the HD 7900 filter. Sorry but felt filters should be filters of the past. Take into consideration, it's my understanding none of the saw manufactures that offer the better paper filters actually make these filters in house, so the cost is much higher than the simple to make felt filters.

Now back to the saw itself. Looking closely at the clutch cover it looks like they notched out the back to allow some of the chips to shoot out to the side keeping more of the chips away from your body. Is this so or is it just for looks?

As far as the filters go, I can't imagine they'd be the dealbreaker as theoretically it's gotta cost about as much to manufacture 353 as it does a 372. Certainly not a $400 difference. They should be able to put a slightly higher cost filter on the machine without significant profit loss.

I haven't had a chance to use the saw but did notice that also on the side cover. It's the same for the 555. You'd have to check with someone here that's used the saw to see if they've noticed anything yet. mweba and spike are two that I know of that have cut with the 555 so far.
 
TK, question on the shop manual. It just crossed my mind, what happens when the coil fails? Is there a disconnect for the harness at the coil or do you have to pull the flywheel, air injection, carb, intake and cylinder to replace it?

Because the coil is engineered to run the AutoTune, it's designed with no possible way to fail.


No there is a disconnect from the wiring harness for coil replacement. The wires come with small male/female disconnects and are heat shrink wrapped. If you replace the coil you have to cut the shrink wrap and replace it.

"No possible way to fail" famous last words.

Are you talking about the disconnect at the carb/Autotune or is there a disconnect at the coil?

EDIT....I think I see what you are saying. By the coil is a wrapped disconnect correct?

It's closer to the coil. That's according to the IPL. I may take a peak tomorrow if I have a minute. It took all I had to take the time to get the pics of the saw today, the shop is packed at the moment. I knew you guys would seek blood if I held back so now that I think about it, I didn't really have a choice :laugh:

Good sounds easy to replace. I don't see how you could design a coil that has no possible way to fail, that's impossible IMHO.
 
TK,

If you need some place to try that 562XP in some wood just come out to Dayton and we'll put it to work in my backyard! ;) We can put it up against my 450 and see which one wins!!
 
Thanks for posting the pictures TK, intriguing design. I'm with Andy on the filter, wished they would have duplicated the 261 filter. The only other dislike I see is the silver on the front of the case, right where it will be in contact with wood. The silver on my 346 looks like crap, where the orange still looks very good, I think they made a mistake making it silver, it'll look like crap after two weeks of hard use vs. the orange case. The silver side accents look good, but I think they went to far with it. Hope you sell a truck load of them.

There is plenty of wood in Dayton to cut, plenty at my folks place and also at a friends house up the road. I'm pretty sure the saw will see some wood, but I may have to sell a saw to absorb the cost. I really don't want to let the 365 go.... But on a positive note I just sold my 455.

I may just have to use this for some testing and then sell it at a discount..... :msp_confused:
