LoL Chris. My wife asked me the same thing last year when I found a used 461 at a pawn shop. Told her yes as I am cutting more and don't want to wear out 1 saw and I csn cycle between them both
The big saws save on gym membership, it took me a few weeks before I was able to run the 592 for 8 tanks of gas in a day bucking large logs but I am getting old as well. One tank of gas in the 088 42" b&c is more than I want for a day I wonder if the 3120s are any lighter than the old Stihl?🤔 1%💩😁
Neat video. The D-shaped starter handles usually are provided on the fire department roof saws so you don‘t have to take gloves off to start them. In my research if you run a decent oil minimum 40:1 on the 5 series and then gut the muffler after warranty you‘ll get good life out of them. Just listening to that 562 you can hear how restricted the exhaust is.
Funny how people think what is a fast saw. Dad had a tree fall across his lane and needed help cutting it up. I took one of my 562xp saws to his house. He told me it was a fast cutting saw. So I guess my 562 is dad approved. Enjoy The Journey - Cheers
Great video. I like the comparisons. You could set that 5’bar on top of the wood pile, start her up and let it cut to the bottom. Quick bunch of rounds cut. 🤭🤭
Nice video guys. Because you can is good enough for me. I’m intrigued with the 562 xp mk2. Time will tell if they got things improved enough to help the 562 series regain its status (l hope so as it might be the perfect saw for “older operators”). GNI
Chris, I think you took what Kenny said to the next level, you no longer have a weenie saw(s). 😂 Can not wait to see the video on Bert’s channel. Awesome video.
i have like a 2 year old but made in 2020 or 21 . i think its a hybrid to the 562 mark2. its a great saw, but doesnt really like frozen logs. i suspect that the chain speed is so high , it doesnt drop into the kerf fast enough. making it feels like its not cutting right. thats when you switch over to a stihl or a bigger saw with lower chain rpm. i really want to try the 572 .i'm about sold on switching brands completely. on a tornado clean up, we were running the 562 against a 362 stihl and the husky was out running the stihl, in warm wood.
looking at the front of the tooth, are they the same style, each type has a little different cut, some have a rounded side cut and others are 90° to the top
@@cobra-mn745 I tried the husky chain. I think it was c83. I switched everything over to the Stihl yellow link 3/8 . Which is square not rounded sides. 🍎 To 🍏
I'd be running a good oil @32:1 if I were you, especially in the 5 series. I've always ran a good clean burning oil at 32:1 from the advice of my saw guy, who knows a thing or two.
@@InTheWoodyard The manufacturers know. It's the EPA that has their hands tied. Ask Scott about the bearing failures on the 5 series. He knows. Any good saw builder knows. Just tryin' to help ya out. Anyone that's been running saws for awhile has noticed that the motors are using less fuel and as a result oil now than they did back in the 90's. Strato charging makes it even worse as those motors likely are less lubricated at 32:1 than an older saw was running 50:1. Less fuel used = less oil for the same amount of work being done. From the builder who ported my saws. "I have several ported 5 series saws on a tree crew in Montana that have over 1000 hours on them running a heavier oil ratio and they’re fine. In fact, out of several hundred 5 series that I have ported, I have never had one come back for bearing issues. And that is because you guys are all running more oil". 50:1 is for emissions, not for saw longevity, period.
That cap you said wasnt original is the original if its 20yo saw, you can put your scrench around it aswell just not the screwdriver part of it, you use the big socket for that.
Hey Chris if you are up late reading the comments you might be able to see the northern lights if you stick your head out the window. We were able to see them in southern Ontario.
That is one ...some others are that ....they give more than they take, do the right thing even when no one is watching, put others before themselves, sacrifice there time talent and money to help others, do more than is expected of them, don't give up at the first sign of difficulty, tell the truth, defend the weak, offer a hand instead of asking for help....
@@InTheWoodyard Very good and so true, thank you for reminding me of the positive and not just the funny. That is what I like about your channel, you do all those things, and you have a great bunch of friends and all of you set a good example for the rest of us.
Actually, the 312O is a weird saw. A prehistoric saw. It will never get a modern upgrade and has been for long non available in Europe. I'm not a pro and don't know a lot about felling but I've never seen (well, on UA-cam 😊 ) any lumberjack use a 3120, even for felling huge trees in Western Canada. They use a 592. Not sure if a 3120 is a good buy. It's only 11% more powerful than a modern, auto-tuned and fuel efficient 592 but 40% heavier !!
Todays pointless info. Outside north America they sell a 560xp Same saw as a 562 but a small bar mount pattern. . But they did sell a very small number of Johnson-reds in north America that are the equivalent of a 560 . I think you'd get more use out of the old 3120 with a 32" bar. Probably get it just about under 30lbs with a light bar. But the reality is, its a darn big saw. And a 90cc saw works just as good on a 32" and far far lighter. 0.01c
@InTheWoodyard I packed 50 gal of fuel home. I scaled 200lbs lighter with the fuel then the wood. And the wood took up half the space the fuel did. Didn't really want to miss the opportunity to save about $2 a gal. It also allowed me to run the round trip from Wyoming to Indiana back to Wyoming on $3.45 E0 91
I've had my 562xp for about 10 years,no problems at all and run the heck out of it,my go to saw all the time,for stumps and firewood
Nice...this new one is great!
I bought the 562XP a few months ago and love it.
Yup, nice saw!
Must be fun to start. It has a snowblower handle on it
Yup.

562 is a good saw , 562 mark ll is a great saw ! I have one of each and think the mark ll does everything just a little bit better 👍🏻
So far i like it a lot too!
I just bought a 562xp mk2 last weekend. Gonna give her a try on Labor Day.
Nice saw!
@@InTheWoodyard is the light bar you have on the 562 mk 2 in this vid similar to sthil’s light bar?
I was most of the way through this video yesterday when I had to leave , nice saws Chris. Keep on cutting
Thanks for coming back!
Great looking saw!! We allwant a bigger saw till we use it all day!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

It is a very nice saw!
Very nice saws. Even to a stihl owner. That last comment was for Bert. Haha. Very nice video.
Stihl doesn't get the marketing aspect. We may get one sometime.
Thanks!!
Hi Chris: I really like my 562XPG, great saw. I just added full wrap handles to my 562 and 572. Good luck with the new saws.
Hello Richard!! Sounds great!
Nice saws . Husqvarna has you for life , and you like it ! 💕
I just ran a Stihl today ...very nice saw!
562xp is next. I've got a 555 now, which is close to the same saw. I bought it in 2011 and it's still my "go to"
Nice!
Congrats on the new saws! The 3120 is a beast.
Thanks YES!
When a saw has more cc's than a scooter! 😊
yup...power!
Chris always a great 👍 time watching you and Bert play in the wood 🪵 yard 😮😊❤
Thanks!
Good morning Chris!!😀😀
Definitely big boy toys!!
Take care buddy!!😀😀💚💚
Logger Al
Yup, thanks Al!
Great video. I like the comparisons. You could set that 5’bar on top of the wood pile, start her up and let it cut to the bottom. Quick bunch of rounds cut. 🤭🤭
Great idea!
The 3120 is also used by railroads for rail cutting. Also popular for Alaskan sawmills. Works great for stretching arms.
rail or ties?😉🙃😁
RR ties???
I think ties??
@InTheWoodyard probably the K model.
With the cutting wheel, to cut the steel rail? Would be my gess.
I got the farmer tech g660. I call it blue ball for a reason! 😂 Puts strain on the groin from the weight! 😂

I love the saw I ran it some it's very nice
It is really nice so far, more to come with it!
For me being a car guy its always been C.I. - Hp. now I've added Bar Inches, to my mantra "Never too many"! Ray
Big is fun but fro every day I prefer a 24" bar
Chris, I think you took what Kenny said to the next level, you no longer have a weenie saw(s). 😂 Can not wait to see the video on Bert’s channel. Awesome video.
Thanks for watching!
I think I would put Adams 42in bar on my 390 before using the 5ft bar
@@BertsCustomCuts I definitely agree with you.
Hey Chris, what’s your technique for breaking in/seating the rings on you new saw especially the 3120?
I just do want the tech at the dealership told....run it.
Just use it like Kenny.
Wow Chris now that is Power good for you love it ( Ty Ron
Thanks...more to come!
That 3210 would be a good saw for Gavin to use with his Pinkster
I don't think so!
When my husband and I go to Home Depot, my husband always asks me. Do you really need that? Always the same answer. Yup!!!😅
Ha! Good one!
Love it.
Thanks!!
The 562 is really nice I like it alot
But it is not purple.😁
Yup, it is a great saw!
Ha!
Nice new saws
Thanks 👍

ok
Wot did they replace the 3120xp with?
It was a new one to me.
562xp MK II has much more than just new bearings. It’s basically a new saw. They only share a few parts from the previous generation.
Yes it is a really nice saw!
I cut all my firewood with a 562xp around 300 face cord a year with no problems I want to try a mark ll
I like it just fine so far!
The Punisher!
it does that!

does the recommended 32:1 keep your saw guy in business?😉🤔😁
I guess I believe and trust the manufacturer and the hundreds of engineers that develop a product over decades first. But that is just me.

Yup!
The 3120xp needs it's own dolly or winch just to move it around!! GNI
Yup, it is stupid big!
Cool beans
NO! Hot beans!!! Haaa!
New 2 x Serious Toys😊
Chris tell your wife I got warranty😊
Yup, all fun!
When your wife ask if you needed a new saw. I figured you just said, More! Lol
Ha! She did ask if I was going to sell one first..I said no gotta test the new ones out first!
That cap you said wasnt original is the original if its 20yo saw, you can put your scrench around it aswell just not the screwdriver part of it, you use the big socket for that.

562 mkii its all New Saw :)

It is a hog!
That's such a good deal you can't afford not to buy it.
That is my story too!
Looking at a 572 or a 562 for blocking logs what do you suggest
The correct answer is always one more so get both!😁 use the 562 if the logs avg less than 16" and the 572 16" and up.YMMV
My advice if you are getting only one.... buy both! Haaaa! If I had to choose one...572. But as I get older....I would be very happy with the 562.

Thanks!

No matter how you slice or dice it....even the most expensive and unnecessary chainsaw is still cheaper than a sports car or powerboat.😂😂😂

Exactly, which is why there seems to be more enthusiasts than ever before. It's cheaper to spice up a saw now a days over a bike or car.
Hey. Chris. Baby
Sir Ralphy Baby strikes again!!!
too cheap firewood.
Oh, you're a geek, aren't you?
I have no idea what is circling around in you mind with that statement.
whats better oak or black locus for firewood btus
Black locust is 26.8 million btu’s red oak is 24, I had some locust over the winter and it got my stove really hot it’s my new favorite wood.
Oak is 24 and locust is 27...
