Big saws are addictive. You're lucky you get to try out all the saws, so your purchase will be well informed. Everybody that cuts a lot should own a small saw and a big saw. How big is the question. Depending on how much you cut should guide you to your next saw. Don't worry about the weight, you'll get use to it in short time.

@peterknoll42012 жыл бұрын
Very nicely done video, thank you, Sarah Catherine! What I particularly like: When people stand by their mistakes - here first the use of a blunt chain. It takes a good character, compliments! Have some forest and use the 562 XP often. Compared to a 50 cc saw like the 261 Stihl or the 550 XP, I still have an old Jonsered 2055 Turbo in use, it is of course much heavier - fueled and with a 50 bar (Tsumura Light) it weighs 8 kg. Therefore, it makes sense to quickly get used to back-friendly working techniques... A 60 cc saw like the 562 is a very good compromise for me: for felling - I have 90% deciduous trees in my stock - it works very well up to a 60 cm guide bar, a maximum 50 cm guide bar is ideal in my opinion (with a sharp chain, of course!); if necessary, it is still powerful enough up to approx. 75 cm. On the other hand, a 60 can also be used well for delimbing. Personally, I really like the 562 as a "workhorse" for the following reasons: 1. it feels very good and quiet in my hand, and the vibration damping is among the best currently available. 2. the fuel consumption is kept within limits. 3. it can be cleaned easily and quickly. 4. the reliability is top. One point in comparison to the 462 Stihl you should please think about: Have you taken a look at the chain speed? The 562 XP can be operated safely with a class 1 protective equipment, the 462 is so fast (29.4 m/s!!!) that at full throttle even a class 2 does not help much... Please check e.g. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3jKiHSIprJ1mLM In practice, the difference in performance between the two top saws is only noticeable with VERY thick chunks, have both tested in direct comparison. And then decided in favor of the 562.

I have the Husqvarna 550xp mkII and love it. I have 50-100cc saws and it’s the first saw I grab regardless of what I’m going to cut. Even though husky auto tunes are heavier than the non-mtronic stihl counter parts, I find the shape and size of the saws make them feel lighter and easier to handle. Anyway, keep the vids coming. As a father with two daughters I’m constantly trying to demystify the “blue collar arts” - all just common sense as long as you’re not afraid of a little dirt. It’s good to see you getting after it and being involved. It’s a journey to independence, well done. Thanks!
