I'm 58 and have only owned Stihl, I've been running my arborist buddies Huskys for a year now and I have to say they are awesome, I just ran his 362xp with a 28" bar and was blown away by it, the only thing that scares me is the auto tune. By the looks of the mark 2 I think thats my next buy.

@TheGreasyShopRag

The 01 filter is black in color and is 64 micron. Its used for cold weather operation. The 02 filter is yellow in color and 25 microns. Its considered a general purpose filter. I don't remember the micron rating of the 03 felt filter but it is for dusty conditions. We recommend the felt filter and actually switch out the yellow filters in favor of the felt when we sell a new saw.

Good video, besides the middle aged guy jack hammering some young btch Porno music creepin around in the background lol As much use and pure ass kickin my so called middle gen 562 has endured its my favorite all around saw ever. Never thought we'd see the day the legendary 349 is face down whipped but the day we all agree the 562 is infact the best was long ago now....alittle heavy for direct apples to apples but those of us who were running them back before the 562 what was one thing we all wanted out of a 349? Abita more power, husky delivered AND made it very fckn reliable (you know what I mean the 1st gen doesn't count) yet listened to use and continued to male them better and better After buy the 572 2 or 3 years ago I utterly live that saw too, but she's not built to handle so dam flawlessly as the 562 does. Buried deep into northeastern hardwoods 30 plus inches the 572 pulls very good, the 562 can't pull a chain like that obviously nor can she oil it.
