Husqvarna, you made a GREAT DECISION letting Buckin try this saw. If he likes it, I will buy one just like it!

[@Saltade]

I work for Husqvarna group in Huskvarna and I diecast alot of the parts for these saws. Amazing feeling to see a saw in your hands smiling away! This made my day Billy! Greetings from Sweden

[@german_arborist]

Love your city. We've visited Jönköping last summer and of course we went to the husqvarna museum👍

[@Saltade]

@@german_arborist Makes me proud mate! Thanks

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

Brother when I went to the factory in Sweden it solidified why i felt i had something superior in my hands all these years ,,please say hi to the folks on the line for me , sincerely, brother thx

[@walkerscountrylife]

Keep up the good work @saltade !

[@michaelmontgomery5326]

i have a tiny 460 and I love it, just for around my 40 acre farm with 24 acres of wood on it, The saw is perfect I use an 18 inch bar and couldn't be more pleased with it. Starts second pull cold always.

[@63DegreesNorth]

You're a great brand ambassador for Husqvarna, Buckin'. Always fair minded, always honest. What you have to say in favour or occasionally in criticism of Husky's saws is weighty, considered and offered to help everyone do better. No better man, no more deserving. Thanks for being who you are buddy.

Well done Husqvarna! You couldn’t ask for a better brand ambassador or better man than Buckin Billy Ray! Love you all! ❤️✊

[@tomhopkins6758]

I have that saw. It RIPS. Favorite saw I own . There is a bearing on the crank. Clutch side. There is a hole in the center. Slam your bar grease tool in that hole 4-5 pumps.. made a WORLD of difference. Crazy smooth after that lol

[@edwardpriestley2747]

Definitely a smart move in my opinion by husky , they will get an honest opinion how good their saw actually is congratulations Buckin!!!

[@paulborden2544]

Loved the video and the soul that presented it. Its a great gift given by husqvarna to you, and a great gift to us from you. Thanks.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

Thx Paul

[@marcinszafranski4452]

Im using 562 markII for two months. 5 days a week, 7-8 hour a day. Great saw so far, excellent balance and amortization. Mark II has more space between muffler and crankcase, more radiators on cylinder and bigger air intake on a starter side.

[@user-mt8cn3fk2v]

Good for you. Good things come to good people and your good people. Bless you Buckin.

[@valyatimtsenko]

As soon as that saw started . The look in your eyes was priceless 😃. It was go time.. Great video, thank you.

[@martyrutter3630]

Christine way to follow through on this super gift, you are always on top of things. 👍👍

[@SKFirewood]

Everyone barks on about the weight of husky but it's balance and feels nice in the hand, gone from 372 to 560 to 562 to 572xp and all the while I'll had the 390xp and ill never change good work buckin

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

I appreciate that

[@vincentnail2881]

Husqvarna USA. That was a board room discussion from the corporation it's self, to send you that package. I would say it took several marketing managers across the US a lot of time, emails back and forth, watching your KZbin channel, just to get the feel of the reason why they would all agree to send a person that is not a Husqvarna dealer, a saw, bar, chain, and shirts. Dang write man, I would be honored as well. You have arrived, and a great retirement awaits. Good job Buckin!

[@matthewward631]

Bought my 1st Husqvarna saw back in 1997, still run it. I had to rebuild the carb once, other than that just normal maintenance has kept it running. I do have 2 newer saws but they’re Husqvarna’s too. I’ve run other saws but they just don’t seem to stand up to my fleet of Husky’s. Oh yeah…… at 69 years old my saws still get used at least 2 days a week. I might be old, but I ain’t dead yet!

[@KyleMcbrien-lh9ip]

You deserve all the love you get because you're a great man and a master of your work 🎉

[@tomblack4796]

Congrats on new saw! Had my 562 since 2017 and its always ready to rip, 562/372 my most used saws. Hope you like it as much as I do 💪

[@rmcdaniel423]

I've had the prior version of the 562XP a couple years now. LOVE it!. Such a great all-purpose power saw.

[@Paul_M067]

Absolutely loved your appreciation of Husky & the expressions of joy & amazement. I will be buying one soon. Many, many thanks

[@jamiedalluge9472]

We've ported and sold 10 of these since first weekend of Dec. Props to husky for the upgrades they made on these

[@sokinfragoul]

Hello, could an autotune be ported? I mean by the time you change a muffler and go for a bigger one, is it a must to port an autotune model? Thanks

[@jamiedalluge9472]

@@sokinfragoul yes the porting adds quite a bit to these

[@n3qdz]

I run a gen one 562 and LOVE it. Just recently it developed a idle issue. It will now get sent off the boys at rip saw for them to repair and sprinkle their magic pixie on it. That 562 is a true sleeper. The saw on a 26” with that chain is the combo of the century.

[@carlzirk]

That was a really fun unboxing. I knew you would find a way to start it and find something to cut. Too hard to resist. I love my 254xp 30 year old saw. Has run like a champ.

[@islipfdchief]

I have the older 562xp running a 24" every day. Updated the air intake a while back. The largest bar" recommend" by Husky is a 28". Found it just could not keep the speed up in the hard wood under it own weight. If you want it scream all day 20" is the best. I didn't have many trees over 24" so falling and cleanup can be done with one saw. One thing like and hate is the run time vs the 70cc class. Limbing and bucking in the heat it just keeps running and I run out of gas first. 70cc saw( MS462) goes dry in 15-20min, way to short. That X cut chain profile is impossible to maintain with a round file only. Husky needs a file to match that profile. Overall the 562XP has been a great saw for me. last year I got the 550XP mark2 as a climbing saw with 20" bar.

[@frankmacha9502]

hay buckin' a shout out for are love of God given management of are forest's,heat,building and the works ect ....after 15 years owning a delmar 5100s bucking dozens of semi loads of hard wood each year for heat and the free stuff .when the saw was new I logged for a saw mill a year and 1/2 never been to the shop runs great so,,,,love to see dalmar vr's husq thats all thanks Frank,,,

[@johndoe-ko8nu]

That profile is exactly how i grind my chain for myself and others every cutter has given me very good feed back i also bring the guides down a little more than recommended depending on saw size and wood species hardwood or softwood etc!!

[@dennisconstantine624]

I’ve been running a 562xp for 10 years now, only mod was the filter upgrade kit, never had a problem just a great mid range saw.

[@DoctorPrepperMD]

I just bought a used 592xp with full wrap and 32” bar and I LOVE IT. Added a Husky 24” lightweight bar (I think it is actually a rebranded Sugihara bar) which is great makes it so light and easy to use for small quick jobs.

[@toddpacheco4748]

Well done 👍 Buckin and about the barn door being open the animals needed some fresh bedding anyways 😮😊❤

[@theotherJZguy]

I own a mark 1 562. Love it and have the wrap, dogs, and recently piped it myself. Love it even more. It's not the most powerful saw, does what I need it to.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

60 cc is small , Ill bet the pipe helped did ya only try on or several?

[@theotherJZguy]

@@BuckinBillyRaySmith I took my factory exhaust apart and opened it all up. Welded a bigger square output. I owe my inspiration to modify my saw to you and your passion for saws. Thank you

[@thatguy2105]

My first chainsaw was a Jonsered, and that is what I mainly own. I was really upset when they Axed Jonsered. It is good to see Husqvarna to something so kind as this. Makes me kind of feel like giving them a chance. I know they were all the same on the inside, but I felt really bad for my friends shop that sold Jonsered. They are mainly selling echo saws now, and I never liked echo's except for the 2511t (but even they have weak trigger handles, and the wire lanyard is weak also). I love my Red saws, but I agree that Jonsered/Husky saws are built tough. I remember when one of the guys on the logging crew I used to work for, accidentally drove over a 2171 Jonsered with the skidder. We robbed a bunch of the plastic off a dead saw, and had it back in the wood a few days later. A few years later a friend that is a die hard stihl guy, had that happen to his saw, and there wasn't much of anything left to salvage.

[@dsulli7383]

That’s a huge deal man. Congrats on receiving that saw from husky. Even tho you are such a well accomplished man in the industry this is like the final stamp of approval. You will honestly be remembered forever by myself and many thousand of others. I’m 35 and will hopefully still remember everything that I have learned from you when I’m an old man. I have never watched any other channel for power saw info because I could tell from day 1 that you are the real expert.

[@walkerscountrylife]

Wow, congrats! Wild timing, I pulled out my 560xp after running my 500i and 572xp today.. and it ripped! Amazing they sent it with a 28" bar too. Health to enjoy brother.

[@bigfoot-wo3qy]

I’m currently updating my herd. Recently sold off my beloved 661. My 460 is starting to show her age. So I bought a 500i to replace those 2. Mind blown so far. Now my johnsred 2065 is aging as well so now after the 500i purchase and the older I get the less I like to have to figit with things so now I’m thinking about a newer 60ish cc saw.

I love my Husky, my dad bought some cheap Poulans as back up and truck saws, didn't realize they were made by Husky as well. For a loose, cheap saw those run like a scalded cat.

Not made by Husky, but owned by Husky...actually, Poulan makes some of Husky's low-end consumer saws, usually the 2 cheapest models they offer....

I got a 562xp from a client whose husband passed. I showed up with a small ryobi to do a basic job. She gave me the husky to try but I didnt know how to start it at the time.

You can't watch Billy without grinnin'. Huskie would be wise to flood him with saws, great brand ambassador.

[@SamPaulson-we7of]

Love my 562 mark2. It’s a mid sized workhorse and nice to carry into thick brushy areas vs a heavier saw. Once you open it up a bit with a light port and a pipe it is hard to NOT want to grab that saw first

[@ashmatashed]

Just bought one of these myself last week as my FIRST chainsaw. Got one with the lightweight 24" bar and the C85 chain. I LOVED WORKING WITH IT IMMEDIATELY...but I don't have any real experience so what do I know? Not much I can say that! Anyhow, its really good to know that an expert on the subject also finds the saw so satisfying to work with. Can't wait to see you run it with a full wrap and a muffler mod.

Just got into saws and pre ordered this one with the 28" for my first pro saw for a Christmas present for myself. Been watching and learning from you since I bought a 445 of a buddy. Glad to see you getting recognized by Husqvarna! Mine came with the double dogs separate in the box. Just need the full wrap handle now.

[@elong35]

Oh man how cool! I’m learning and will be looking for my next saw. Currently have 45cc with 18” bar. Want something a little bigger maybe 70cc range, but that looks like an amazing saw too!!

[@nseric1233]

Nice saw. A few guys have figured out how to duplicate the c83/c85 chain profile. You sharpen the top plate with a stihl hexa file then hit the gullet with a 5/32 file. Similar to the baby C you showed us but with a square/hexa file. It's not an east coast saw until you stick a 16 inch bar on it lol.

[@timsmithoutdoors]

Buckin! Hope all is well. You have been a great ambassador to the brand since day one brother. Super cool to see Husky send you that saw!

[@NSResponder]

I'm impressed by any engine starting on the first pull.

[@seanlowe4785]

I bought my first Husqvarna a few weeks ago, the 460, it's the best thing I've ever used. Wish I got one earlier.

[@TimberTrainer]

There's one thing I see Stihl doing well that Husky and Echo could improve on. When you buy a pro-grade saw like the XP series, they should include felling dogs, wrap handle, and a light bar. Of course there should be a little extra cost, but it shouldn't be difficult to acquire. I know Husky has the kits, but they don't sell wrap saws with felling dogs. It would just be nice to purchase the saw with the professional features. When I got my 592xp wrap kit, it didn't have captive nuts. Echo doesn’t even have their kits figured out. I usually have to educate the dealers on what parts work on the 2511t to convert them to narrow kerf. Purchasing everything separately adds complexity and cost.

[@daverupes7022]

I had a older one in Alaska when they first came out and loved it ! Looking forward to getting my hands on this new one! Looks like a ripper!!

[@wallyzworld7108]

Of all my Husqvarna saws, the 562 xp (2018) is my favorite. Came with a standard 28" and I add wrap bars and switch to the then new Husqvarna lightweight bar. Has no problem with all the oak around here. Have cut up to 36" without a problem. I run the oiler wide open. Looking forward to how you like the Mark II, been thinking of getting one.

Hi Buckin, I have been waiting for my dealer to get one of the 562xp Mark II in. I'll be watching for your review of this saw. I do have experience with the X-cut chain and I am very impressed with how it cuts. I have profiled a wheel for my grinder to replicate the grind Husqvarna has put on this chain. If Husqvarna is watching, offer us a CBN wheel with an X-cut profiled wheel for the Oregon grinders. Then the dealers that offer sharpening and the end user with a grinder could continue sharpening the chain with the original out of the box grind with ease.

[@simd510]
