Very nice!
Looks like my deere CS40. :)

When he was painting he ask what color I wanted saw. Because my business card the saw is orange. I told him I would like green 1st and orange 2nd.

Removed info ;)

Another junk saw on and off the bench ripping again 1990 first year 262 with the big carb 87 and the good cylinder

Amazing what people junk rather than fix.

How about a saw that ISN'T junk?

The more I use this Husqvarna 562xp, the more it proves itself to be a fantastic saw!

I've ran a 562. I'll pass. Just like I will pass on the 91 and later 262's too.

But this 1990 262 version with the KS cyl and bigger 87 carb. Now that put a smile on my face with a small saw.

But those sure are some impressive rounds.

Red oak?

Mine is a 372xp, but they're fantastic saws. There isn't a Stihl of equal dollars that'll cut with an XP.

4 more in today. Freaking dont even have to fix 3 out 4. WTH.

Just messing with ya about the 562. OK when they run or run right and dont burn up. Very common in the pro guys to happen.

SOME EARLY 562's did have some problems but, not all of them and that has been taken care of...

My Jonny has the same motor and it's been flawless, I expect my 562 will also be flawless.

AND on top of that, I got a SCREAMING deal at the Sawmill EXPO, one dealer didn't want to haul saws back home and was fire saleing pretty much everything he had there...

Bran-NEW 2017 model 562xp's WITH bar and chain....$495.00! (after Husky$50.00 rebate)

There was NO way I was going home without one for THAT price, and I glad I bought it! I should have bought two!

A guy I know and dealt with in past and will in future. He is very honest and not brand biased. Just wish the 6100 was thrown into the mix.

Just my opinion, and I work for two different stores. One is a "retailer" and sells Stihl exclusively, and the other is a former independent Stihl dealer, that now sells Husqvarna and Echo. I would take a CS620P over a MS362C or 562XP every day of the week, and twice on Sunday.
Then I would take the $200 I saved, and buy my wife something nice, and take her out to dinner.

There isn't a Stihl of equal dollars that'll cut with an XP.

Some may argue that there isnt a husky of equal dollars that will cut with a Dolmar;)

Pretty close race though. A Dolmar ps7310 is a comparable saw to my Husqvarna 372. Best online price I can find on the Dolmar is $818, no bar or chain. Husqvarna is $880, best I can tell has a bar and chain. And the Husqvarna weighs a pound less with .1 more HP.

I have all the brand broke down with weight PHO dry to show starting weights actual. Think have 7910 7901 though no 7310. Also have the OE and NE 372. The NE todays weighs more then the OE I liked.

Matter fact I owned ported 375 7901 and stock 372's 2171

Talking to the dolmar I mean Makita ;) Echo dealer in the barn for 3hrs last night. He said the 6100 in his back to back comparisons of the 620 6100, the 6100 was cutting the log quicker in testing.

So the big 2 60cc saws dont get the nod from alot of folks it seems.
