Husqvarna 562xp

It's a well liked saw. What draws *you* to it? I'd be looking at the Stihl 400cm. Weighs less and has more power, but I run Stihl anyway, so I'm biased.

Planning on buying a 562 XP with a 24" bar. It will replace a 60cc echo that is aging. Use will be ground work and occasional work in tree. Any opinion?

Yeah, buy a 500i.

Sorry, I've just never like Husqvarna, I've had terrible luck with everyone I've owned, and they're a PITA to work on.

24" capable, Husqvarna saws have been reliable so far (550 xp mark1, 395xp and 540i). Price is high but still reasonable. I have the 395XP on the rare occasions I need more than 24".
