I've had a 562xp for 3 years and I have zero complaints other than it takes 4-6 pulls on the initial start up to go after its sat for more than one day. I have cut well beyond 1,000 facecords of firewood with it and felled hundreds of trees and for a 60-65cc saw it bites and chews the wood. I've had no problems with torque and I file down an extra few passes on my rakers and with a 20in bar I have no issues in hardwood like maple, hickory and ash. The 24in bar gives it a run for its money but it still doesn't back down from a fight and I would recommend this saw to anyone for a daily use firewood saw or even logging a small property to open the woods up.

That is a good saw for sure. I own the husqvarna 2017 model. The XP 550 is less on the weight though. I am a fan of husqvarna always for sure, I am taking a liking to Sthil now. Both are great saws though.

I have the 20" and do the rakers a little heavy too, but she's fast and nimble enough that the good bite is nice.

Tinman, Bless you, I needed to spend more time with you. We turn off the TV and turn on Tinman Tinmanizing one Power Saw at a time. Another great educational video. Everyone please hit the Like Button and Share to spread the Love and Kindness!!!

Really great to see you do this video. I literally did the exact same thing with a 562 XP that I found on Facebook dirt cheap. Right away, when I saw it, and pulled the starter, it had zero compression. I knew the top end was toast. Did the meteor piston and replaced crank bearings and seals, new carb kit and fuel line, and the thing is a beast! Definitely my go-to everyday saw!

I did exactly same with my 550xp, £100 with a ruined top end, cleaned it up, new Meteor piston, and now runs like a dream. Classic Husky hot start issues too, but apart from that it’s brilliant. Nearly as good as my 560! I have much smaller trees in England, so my go to is generally a 50cc. Great channel marra, love the insight into beginners modifications that I’m starting to do.

Tinman, you are genuine! I enjoy your channel and thank you for your education in tuning and running power saws. Your channel is fantastic

The sharper the better they say in all aspects of life! Looks like you got all angles covered! Love the video Tinman keep em coming...❤️

That's my favorite chainsaw for fire wood cutting. I bought mine when they first came out knowing it was replacing the 357 when I picked it up off the self power to weight is amazing. I have bigger saws only run them on big rounds .

Excellent info on a newer saw.

Great Video Tinman, enjoyed watching you cut firewood

I have a 562xp one of my favorites to run doing firewood Awesome video Keep up the good work

Your technique is ridiculously good. So easy to get annoyed/impatient/slow when working close to the dirt.

Another fantastic film by the Tinman! Boy that 562 sure looks like a blast for cutting firewood and sounds great to! Keep up the great work 👍👍💪💪😁!

Another great one!👍😁. Good to see that your wood piles growing 😂👍. They definitely are sexy saw’s those 500’s! Love those gray side cover’s!

Both the 550 and the 560 really wakes up with MM and some porting and squish fix. I know of a couple ported ones here in Sweden. A friend ported a 550 and damn that got angry. It was like a motocross, really snappy!

I just did my my first port job today. I got a throw away homelite ranger. Holy hell bud the thing sounds evil and the Rpms are insane. I can’t wait to see how it goes in the wood!

Always a pleasure to watch your videos tinman

That's how I've always hand filed, wedging the tip of the bar in the corner of the tailgate hinge. Works great for me, but does bother my back a little when I'm doing saws with long guide bars, or multiple saws at one time.

Got the same, 2 tanks through it, love it

sounding very good and cutting awesome

I have a 562 and a 572. I tend to always grab the 62! It’s the perfect saw

One of my favorite saws is the 562xp. Light nimble little screamers. I’ve built and rebuilt a bunch but also own 2 that are 2016’s and the biggest issue I see on the crank bearings is guys running them dull and over heating the saws and bearing failure isn’t long after. Also another thing I see is loose crank stuffers some so bad they rub the case and cause super fine magnesium dust go places it shouldn’t lol. Keep the 562 sharp and run good oil and you’ll get thousands of trouble free hours like I have

TimMan that 562 is a growler. Good working saw brothers

Looks like a fun saw to use for limbing trees.

I have two of those that r ported etc and I love them. Absolutely no leaner then 40 to 1

I like these saws too brother I had a 562xp given to me because it was overheating after some tinkering I was able to give it a new life! I have a 28” bar on mine. Full skip square ground chain🤙🏻 love the content of your Channel sir.

I tried a 562 and I liked it. Good little saw. I got a muffler gasket the other day so I can build a new pipe for my 565

Thanks for the video. I might get a 24" bar for my 2260, so I don't need to stoop as much. Otherwise, I always cut the "high" stuff with the 20" 1st, and less on the ground. I'm sure you know you can cut a couple rounds, or one long "double" for a stool to take a little load off your back so you can sit and sharpen. I hate sharpening on the tailgate, if I can avoid it!

Got a 2020 562XP and she rips. Starts hot or cold no problem.Great on gas, not too heavy and in my opinion is one off the best if not the best 60cc out there right now.

They are very well balanced and zippy little buggers !

I’ve got a 562 and I love it it pulls good I did SB it cause clutch side bearing went so got a new oem short block and transferred everything I cleaned up transfer ports and widened exhaust port and took about .030 of the topside put a popUp with base gasket delete and had .021 squish (🤘🏻perfect) and put dual port muffler and small timing advance mod and it really woke up... I’m actually bought another and it’s getting decked with a full port job from David Powers in Medway, Maine!! Have you Heard of him? But I had him do a 372xp pre-torque and that dude is a monster in the cut with a 32” bar full house chain that I hand square file with double beveled flat file with rakers at about .045-.050 and she don’t struggle at dogs deep.... but my 562 is strong and can’t imagine how this is going it with a full ported cylinder?!! It’s gonna be pretty warm but not hot... but hair over work saw... for my entertainment if I may!!!! 😆 you do excellent work and would love one day for you to port one of my 266’s or my 268xp or one of my 272’s or 394 or my other 372 or even my 395, possibly my 288..... or something completely different my 357xp there’s a few more but can you have too many saws?

I love Sthil and husqvarna

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm a bigger guy 6' 2" 245lbs. I would much rather carry a slightly heavier saw with a longer bar that can handle most anything. Short bars and little saws are tough on a back

Stihl or husqvarna are the two best chainsaws a man can buy. That being said I always say to out cut a husqvarna stock saw it takes 2 sizes up in a stihl chainsaw.

I bought a 562 with a scuffed piston with low compression. I threw a 10 dollar gulf piston in and ran the piss out of it for a long wood season. Its a runner. It became my favorite saw. The top end is burnt again but I bought a husqvarna jug and piston. I want to do the seals and berrings too but not sure which tool to split the case with. Can you tell me which to use?

I'm going to buy a 572 here in NC next month

hey i like you videos, iv learned a lot. i recently bought a husky 555 'parts saw'. off craiglist. for 100 bucks thrown in a milk grate. what i thought was going to be a full rebuild. only needed a really good cleaning and a few bolts , parts, new bar and chain. i got it running in 15 min. im stoked. literally less than 70$ to get it put back together. i think a 60cc is were its at for a one or two saw plan min. how would you rate a 555 vs 562. for a firewoods saw. thanks.
