    Good informational video Rod. I recently came into the market for my 1st saw, I got tired of borrowing my father's. I had a very hard time deciding between the Husqy 562 and STIHL MS 362. Ultimately it came to three things that helped me make my decision to purchase the Husqy.
    1. The Husqy's handle has a slightly steeper angle and it just felt more comfortable for me to hold
    2. Husqy offered a 4 year warranty with purchase of 3 of their mixed fuel cartridges over STIHL's two year warranty
    3. The crew in where I purchased the saw are good guys, my Dad has dealt with them over the years and they've always taken care of him.
    I also bought the Powerbox, and I must say that is a must! It keeps the saw from rolling and moving around when driving. I really wanted to buy the STIHL initially, after I got my hands on them though, my choice changed. I love my Husqy, its a screamin machine that doesn't slow down for much.

    Get the GoPro out of the skeleton case and get the bare frame with lens protector. It GREATLY improves Audio! Then switch to a Medium field of view at 720 and 30 frames per second. I know, I sound like a broken record, but you'll be amazed at the improved audio and video quality. Another very well presented and unbiased review Rod! Thanks! Zip~

    @beretta391s 8 років тому +3

    Nice review. I have heard good feedback for both saws but the overall consensus seems to be that the 562 handles better and feels lighter than the 362. I always prefered the handlebar on Huskies vs. Stihls.

    Been researching Husqvarna and Stihl to make the best purchase.
    Been using Stihl for years but something keeps drawing me to Husqvarna.
    You seem to know the products you sell and from what you said think I will give Husqvarna a try.
    Thanks for the info.

    Thank you for the video and for also including explanation of potential problems. I think I'll be buying a 562xp from my local retailer this week. Because of your video, I'll take more time sharpening the chain and keeping fresh gas in it. Doing my due diligence now by watching/reading reviews. We have 100-year-old bur oaks to buck, and more in the future.

  • @afleetcommand
    @afleetcommand 8 років тому +4

    Nice overview of these two saws. A comment... the Stihl issue with the throttle linkage is simply because the plastic bearing surface the operating rod has to rotate on and support itself when pushing on the throttle linkage under the carb. Same with a few of those models like the 391. A Systemic issue across models along with a much more complex system of levers and fulcrum points. Hoping Stihl puts a more durable bearing surface in that spot at a minimum! Also neither are fuel injected...both use electric over carburetor's to effect the mixture. The "heat" related issues on the 562 are worse with the earlier ones than the latest, and I believe there are more changes on the way. I open a cooling hole in the top cover clutch side right next to where the handle is. Have a hunch you might see some interesting updates over the next couple of month's if Husqvarna continues as they typically do updating and upgrading their models. ....:) I use a 32:1 oil mix and even on the earliest versions like my 555 don't have issues. Hope you recommend at least 40:1 vs. the typical 50:1, that alone will keep saws from coming back...any brand. Also Husqvarna really has more time working out the tuning issues...from el44 to el48's! My bet is Stihl has to go through a similar learning curve AND will....the question to me is how hard it will be to upgrade older saws to newer specs. With the 562, after the change to the 6 screw case pretty much any update retro's right on to those saws. Time will tell with the Stihl's....they are pretty early in the learning curve.....both really nice machines. Thanks for the overview

    • @mcss317
      @mcss317  8 років тому +5

      +afleetcommand I'll comment on your "32:1" fuel mix. First, oil has come light years in technology in the last 20 years. Second, the cooling of an air cooled engine is enhanced by the fuel, the less oil in the mix the cooler the charge. So, 100:1 , although leaner a mix ratio, is a much cooler charge ratio. 50:1 mix oils have a lot of wiggle room and are the Richest mix ratio we recommend. We have used 100:1 for years with out any problems and upon tear-down and inspections see better wear than at 50:1.

    • @AATreeService
      @AATreeService 7 років тому +1

      Rod I'm super glad you know this. This right here sold me on you being a well rounded intelligent salesman and mechanic. Running 32 or 40:1 is going to do nothing but plug up the mufflers and exhaust ports. Fuel is what keeps the bearings cool and oil lubricates theme. A hot bearing with a lot of oil will fail way sooner than a cool bearing with less oil.

    Love the video, honest about everything. Just picked up a "facelift" 362c-m and one thing I noticed is that the AV system isn't worth a crap. Have you had any complaints? I own a 201T, 270, 661, and as A climber use all kinds of saws at work, none of them vibrate as much as my new 362 though. Just broke it in earlier today "video soon", and my hands were numb 2/3 through each tank.

    Info good. audio poor. The primer is good when you run out of fuel. also neither of the saws are "Fuel Injected" they just adjust the A/F ratio and primary jets of the carb. its bad to list them as FI saws. I've Fell over 600 cords of wood at 10,000' in a year and a half with my 562XP and have had zero problems.

    I run a 562XP and a Stihl 261CM. Yes, the 261CM is a little smaller, but there is no comparison when it comes to cutting. I actually put a 16-inch bar on the 261CM and made it my limbing saw after running the 562XP. On a side note, I'm a Stihl guy, but damn, I don't know what they did to that 562XP... that thing is a screaming banshee.

      @Sovereign_Citizen_LEO 8 років тому +1

      +Zeljko Lipovac - I like Husky, but they are less precision (even though they are many times the faster cutting saw). I would equate Huskies to an AK-47, and Stihl, and Dolmar to an AR-15. My buddy though is a professional arborist, and he swears by Huskies, so I guess it's just personal preference.

    Both are winter saw !!!! Both can't handle continuous work or intense heat , husqvarna 562 keeps blowing off the muffler over heats also ! Stihl has bad cooling fans , over heats and acts up at end of fuel cycle, then piston rings go out ? My opinion on all around saw would be husqvarna 372 xp before 2012 and stihl 360 or 036 , these two are the best saws before 2012 ! For some odd reason the old models out last the new models !!!

    I buy stihl 500 hot saws for cutting concrete and rebar. They are the best made hot saw money can buy hands down. they have perfected the m tronic in my opinion. when it comes to chain saws, we buy husqvarna, because they have not given us any problems. Husky chain saws have just kept on running to the point I can't buy a new one because the stupid 455 won't die, I went and bought two husky saws anyway. good thing to complain about.
