Stock saws, Husqvarna 365 Xtorq vs 562xp. Which do I like more?

[@merchantmariner6132]

Thanks for your honest review. I have the bone stock 562XP and love it.

[@rogerrabbit8756]

I got the 365, my firewood saw for years now and it never misses a beat. Awesome little saw and light.

[@tinmanssaws]

Love my 365, it's been such a good saw

[@FarmBossSaws]

They are both nice saws for sure. I like that you can grind the divider on the 365 xtorq transfer covers and have a 372 XT, or eventually swap it all over to an XP (or big bore) top end. I think the 562xp would be best for the guy that just wants to go cut lots of wood, the 365 XT for the hobbyist that enjoys to mod as there are tons of options and aftermarket parts available.

[@EricChmelarsky]

I appreciate that you didn't forget about the 365. All about the 562 these days. I've replaced my old 272XP with a 572 and the 365. 365 isn't here yet, had to mail order one, local shops don't carry them. Piped the 572, horrible OEM muffler, horrific in fact. Thanks for not forgetting the seldom talked about 365.

[@dennisconstantine624]

The best is the best that suits your own needs. cheers from NZ.

[@fltrx19rider14]

I agree with your comments about all the online negativity. Seems that there’s more of that going around these days about pretty much everything. I had an early 372xp (01) for 10yrs, and in 2011 it was stolen. Good saw, never an issue with it. Replaced it with a 2011 562xp, have had it for13yrs & no issues. Always liked a screwdriver saw, but can’t complain about the auto tune on the 562. They don’t take well to mods cuz the a/t can’t always compensate, but in stock form the auto tune genarally works well. Been looking @ an early 365 special (65cc) that I can pick up @ a decent price, so I can have another old school saw. Good video, keep em coming!

[@terrystotzheim9719]

I have a 365 xtorq and I love it!

[@larrybollinger7319]

Congrats on the subs. Your 100% right. It doesn't matter what you use if it works for you. I have a 45cc Echo and a 268xp thanks to your channel.

[@jeffreyrubish347]

For what I do my 1998 Husqvarna 261 is great. I sometimes wish it was a 262XP but at the time I couldn't justify the additional $.

[@rustyshackleford1634]

you got it negativity ruins everything. thanks for the work you do the videos it really helps us all!

[@timcline2799]

My 1990 262 still my all time favourite. Got farmertec 372 this fall. Impressed with it. But, G660 & G395 are both 8kg bare weight, exactly same as G372 I’d already ordered. To reverse my buyers remorse I’ll get one of these next. Gotta love Farmertec, built for the working man

[@johnthorpe8549]

Have a 372xp love it. Just bought a 365 xtourc did a small logging job to day with the biggest tree being 26in on the stump. I use 30 and 32 I ch bars full house and semi scip. Like bothe saws am going to do some moffeler work on the 365 and take out the baffle plates.

[@nicholashunter5716]

Thanks!

[@tinmanssaws]

Thanks for your support!!

[@stannelson2582]

I’m late but it was a great video. My favorite is what I can afford and have. Nice point about the long bar and it being away being better. But I think an 18 inch bar really wakes up a 60 cc saw. My husky 460 became more fun when I went from 24 down to an 18. But to each his own. Saws are like people each have good in them if you look!

[@brittainwright1]

I love you attitude and your approach to life. Hope all is well with you and your family.

[@famasmaster2000]

Both a couple of fine saws there Tinman. Good video 👍

[@kennethdanlynch6300]

We should all be here to learn and enjoy our power saw not to bash others no time for that nonsense . I am 55 years old have been tinkering on two strokes since the early 80s and still learning keep up the good content I am sure to follow you and the ironhorse Thanks Friend for your time 8 30 pm from North Carolina

[@jimgroulx3956]

Hey Tinman, very solid approach I would say. People have different needs and are build physically their own way. It is good to hear your thoughts on various saws because few of us have access to so many different types of saws as you do. The kid in the local shop often only knows enough saw basics to sell the odd one and may be well meaning but really doesn’t have saw background. I just scored a Jonsered 2165 and although I have never used one I feel good that its a fit for me in large from watching your vids….and thanks for them.

[@bobrees4363]

I liked using my Dad's old Model 61 Husky, until the oil pump went out. Now I have to say my favorite is the used and abused $50 455 Rancher, it always starts and runs.

[@markmacdonald6452]

Everyone has a favorite old saw, but generally manufactures make improvements to their line of saws in order to continue to sell to demanding professionals. The newer saws are generally easier to live with day to day, but I still like using the old ones too.

[@DavidArentz]

Love your content Tinnan. I'm on my third build, thanks to your "how to port a power saw series" first build was a 52cc Dolmar 111i. Really happy with the results....especially now it has a second muffler mod done. Second build was very mild....a Chinese 372 copy....only did the transfers and a base gasket delete....exhaust opens at 96 ATDC so didn't want to move it up any more. I am wondering what you normally find exhaust opens on a genuine 372. Currently working on a Dolmar 115. Same as the 111 but closed port. Going back together tomorrow. Cant wait to ring that...building an iron horse muffler for that one. Got a few stock Stihl saws 018, 034. 500i and a Homelite 330. Want to add a couple of huskys to the mix. All saws make me happy. Thanks for your channel. Hope Mrs Tinman and bub are well.

[@rydplrs71]

The best is the one that gets your job done with the least work. Every tree and every job is different. For me that generally means a factory hot rod. A mod saw would be nice and I watch this channel to motivate me build a kinda big slightly hot rod. Backup will be the stock pro saws. 346xp and ms360. A mod 70ish cc would be fun. A 2511t is also on the to do list.

[@stevetheriault4164]

CONGRATS ON YOUR 27,000 SUBS BUDDY ,GREAT CHANNEL GREAT CONTENT STAY SAFE BUDDY THAT 562 RUNS EXCELLENT

[@tdawg8605]

Congratulations on 27k well deserved. Both saws looked to cut that punky willow...😆, with ease as they should. But the difference in weight would give the edge to the 562 in my book. Both wonderful saws. Nice to see stock saws run. Kind & healthy thoughts for Mrs. Tinman, TC Tinman Mahalo🤙🤙🤙

[@MitchellsBackyardLogging]

I agree on the 562 i have a ton of saws and i grab my 562 98% of the time and if i had to pick only one saw 562 would be it. Just cause its light fuel efficient and it will pull a long bar about as good as the 572xp

[@mikegott3364]

No they won’t! I have both, ported and stock

[@chaddean3083]

24 inch on either is a wash in most wood, over 28 and the edge goes to the 572xp in hard wood. But the old 562 still impresses.

[@MitchellsBackyardLogging]

@@chaddean3083 ill agree with that i use 70 cc and bigger for larger stuff and 60 and smaller for little wood but i still run longer bars on them just cause i normally dont bury them in wood

[@DoyleShadduck]

If the 562 could pull a bar as well as the 572 , they wouldn’t make a 572. There’s no replacement for displacement.

[@MitchellsBackyardLogging]

@@DoyleShadduck oh there is if u get someone porting them that knows what there doing and i said they do about as well not as good of course anything bigger is gonna be stouter but as far as power to weight the 562 is superior it amazes me the amount of dumb people that comment on u tube like yall three are the only ones that knows a 572 is stouter than a 562

[@DaveSnoddy73]

interesting to see another view of the saws and bars to tackle this job with, if I were doing this job I'd take my 550xp wth 13" or a 562 with 16". horses for courses :-), had my 562 since 2015, its lovely saw, enjoy and stay safe bro

[@skibiker8]

You're videos are AMAZING!!! I need help!! I can't find anyone that compares the 365 special to 365 x torq, stock, for firewood and a little felling and bucking. Which one is better for power and longevity?

[@bangerseamen]

Hey from the UK Tinman. I’ll give you a tip, the 365XT is set lean from the factory, get her dialled in ASAP. I had a piston start melting, turned it off before I totally junked it. I Rebuilt her with a Meteor top end. Respect.

[@parkerearp4316]

That 562 is impressive! But I'm partial to the 365 since I own one. Lol

[@tinmanssaws]

Both are good saws

[@craighendrickson5012]

I honestly like a saw that is a little more broad through the rpm range, which is probably like a larger displacement and older saws.

[@j.d.williams6882]

They sell the gas caps at the big box stores and they fit most Echos as well. Great vid as usual Tinman!

[@hferris21]

[@billyb.9878]

My favorite for smaller stuff is my 257 w/20" bar & a full house chain. It's a perky saw. Very old, like me. Had it since new and just good maintenance and it's still a ripper. Bigger stuff, my 288 xp. That's another story. 🙃

[@aaronpowell4885]

Having never ran either, from what I've heard, seen and read, if I had to only pick one for everything I'd prefer the 562xp. But I really like that husqvarna kept the good Ole 300 series alive for a little longer with the 365! Even if I'm not the biggest strato fan.

[@kevinmoyle6098]

Stock, ported, nothing is going to be faster than a good. Sharp chain and the man behind the saw.

[@jamesmooney5348]

Run a 365 xtorq in large fir and oak in oregon with a 28in bar. Have dropped it out of a tree and several friends have borrowed it. Runs like a champ and just never gives up. many friends have commented that even full into an oak log it will pull through where their Stihl homeowner saw will just give up. Nice channel! Found you through buckin's channel.

[@cousinitt7915]

My Stihl flip caps break with the slightest bump! It’s a bad day if you don’t have a spare! I like the screw in caps much better!

[@rydplrs71]

A fun video so far. The saplings kind of need to die. As a forest grows it’s trees need more room, it’s canopy keeps the young bucks at bay. Cleaning deadwood for heat is honorable, cutting it for fire prevention is noble.

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

Beautiful video, my friend! Really appreciate your comments about positivity, which is why you have attracted so many great subscribers! 👍💪🙏 As far as saws close to that class, I keep coming back to the Husqvarna 359. Probably my favorite all-around firewood and smaller tree cutting saw. Back when they were regularly sold, the price point was good, and I think the value is great!

[@hnorrstrom]

I got a bunch of saws. Usually I go with the 353xpg and 15" or 550xpg with 13". If its larger trees I'll bring with me the 560xpg and 18". But the 372xpg with 20" usually stays at home, its good but just to heavy to carry around. This is my standard set up. I think they are best balanced with those bars. And there aren't any big trees around here in mid sweden anyway. I have longer bars that I can use but it just feels like they are in the way and I loose a lot of speed. Maybe its worth to notice that xpg is a bit heavier than an xp due to handle heating, and I'm quite short. Anyway I fully agree that everyone should use the saw they like. There is not such a thing as a perfect saw for everyone and every job.

[@Rodger-s1c]

Watching trying to make a decision on what next Husky to buy...Leaning to a 372. I like your channel and honest reviews and tips although I gotta say, over 20 years I've not had a problem with my Stihl flippy caps I had to replace the fuel cap once because the seal was leaking but one replaced cap over 20 years of use is dang good. I don't get why they leak for some people, maybe the same reason mine did, just need to replace it for like $15

[@bushleague3472]

I just picked up the 565, compared to my 365XT its got a broader power band, better throttle response, a bit more power, and loads of low end grunt.

My local dealership had two 562s Probably left over from year prior bought the set for right around 800 no idea about saw the only husky I’ve ever owned is a 395 and it a love hate thing with that saw she’s a moody son of a gun just cause it never gets used and when it does I pamper it needs to be run and run hard anyway I got a 20 or 24” bar on one and a 28” on the other and I’m here to tell ya I was pleasantly surprised at what a ripper they are power comes on quick always letting go of some throttle so I’m not constantly on the rev limiter and everyone was having problems starting them but couple pumps of the bulb throw the choke on a pull or two so it fires touch the trigger so choke opens up but still on high idle minute or so on high idle squeeze trigger and she’s ready never had any problems like I said was pleasantly surprised

[@cameronhamer9432]

[@kristopherdavis4764]

I agree the best saw is the one that the user likes the best. I agree I prefer the non xp variants better for the wood I cut.

[@bennyblanko3]

If you like saws, you probably have a few of them. It is interesting to me to see which saw I grab, and why. Sometimes I grab the muffler modded Dolmar 510, even though it is heavy, and not super fast, just for fun. It is smooth, and gets the job done, and who cares about 1 second when you are working. For bigger wood, I always grab either the Dolmar/Makita 7910 or Jonsred 2071 (372), both of which have longer bars and rip good. But, some years I have cut more than 1/2 of the wood with a 50cc saw, Dolmar, Echo, Poulan - whatever, if the chain is sharp. Old saws sometimes for nostalgia. But, my best all around saw for regular sized firewood is definitely the Jonsred 2260 (562). Light, fast, nimble, and solid once you figure out the stay at high idle for a half minute when starting sometimes, and set high idle when hot starting. Autotune is great, but different if you are used to regular saws. Keep up the videos. Appreciate them.

[@johncoleman2495]

Great video....I own more saws than I can count off the top of my head. Every one of them does something better than the others. And to be honest, sometimes the mildest saws get the nod just because they are easy to start, run and are good on fuel. My 2258 and 2159 are my most used saws just for that reason. I have the "pro" versions of both, yet often they're more than you need and the increase in power is no advantage. I consider the 2258 and 2159 the best firewood saws ever made for the average person. Yet when the wood is bigger, twisted and hard I'll grab my 2165. You just learn with time what saw does what job well.

[@Chitching]

Hey Tinner!! Purchase question for ya. What’s your thoughts on the 562xp (x-torque) for $500 8.5/10 comdition Is this a good saw to have for firewood work. Wasn’t sure if you liked the xtorque or not so much. Thanks for the help bud.

[@Jan-Sietze]

Willows are for wooden shoes; They don't split... Well said, there is no saw that is best. Only the best for you to do with it! I like making modifications on saws, but not pushing them to the limit. I've never used a timing wheel, just two-stroke logic And it works for me!

[@dexterhollywood2012]

I jave a 550xpmk2, 562xp and a 592xp. 562 and 592 both run 28" bars full comp square ground chisel and the 550 gets a 20" bar. I honestly dont even know what to use the 550 for anymore lol. I can just use the 562 for light and medium cuts with the 28" or a 20". I love the 550mk2 but that thing is just too damn fast for light work and too small for the other stuff since i have the 562xp but i wouldn't get rid of the 550. In texas jere we have fat oak trees and pecan. Last pecan tree i cut was about 3.5 feet in diameter took that down with the 562xp before i got my dream saw 592xp.

Both saws work good

[@sandsock]

Only dumped it once and I learned and that was maybe 7 too years ago. Do saws drink more fuel in hot weather versus cold? i was doing a big clean up the last 2 days from a storm and just seam's to be using more fuel doing brush work

[@marcustraber]

The density of oxygen is higher in colder weather so an auto tune saw will use more fuel because it compensates automatically. A saw with a manual carburetor will use same fuel unless you retune it.
