    A lot of times these saws get compared to the 60cc class. And they can compete. Most don’t know/realize they are 56.5cc. Power to weight is stellar. The guy at the local Husky dealer, when the local one was good, always boasted of them when I’d go in for anything. Stating they were designed as a high speed limb saw. Guess it’s the factory 14k rev rating. :saw:

    Most definitely a good purchase. I bought mine new in 06 because of the power to weight ratio. One of the best Husky's ever IMHO.

    I've got three 357XPs.

    On my 2nd 562XPs. I do not like auto tune saws. The hot start issues are really frustrating. Having to pull a saw 2-5 times after initial start really becomes annoying.

    The 357 will start first time every time once warmed up.

    What year was it made? Early versions had an auto decomp that was problematic. If it has that, may wanna plug it.

    I’d like to petition the Honorable Moderation Staff to amend the emoji library. It is hereby requested that a Crickets emoji be added to supplement the choices.

    That’s actually a great idea! Trying to get back in the routine here:rofl: :lol: Yes, it does have the auto decompression. Good info to know...I’ll keep that in mind as I run the saw through it’s paces:thumbs:
