    18" is temp. Got a 20" coming in 3-4 weeks. Would it push enough oil to run a 28"? Skip chain?

    It will oil a 28" but not like a bigger saw.

    Sure it will. But even a 28" Techlite feels real nose heavy on that saw. But it will run it if you're not in a hurry.

    im likely to cut down my whole woods with this thing. still getting used to the sound as compared to the 066. i would compare it to a harley vs. a sport bike. now i ride my harley cuz i enjoy it. to get from A to B on the quick, the sport bike takes the cake. to get a lot of chips spit, the 562 takes the cake. still, at the end of the day, it is more pleasureable to have run the 562 rather than lugging the 066 through the woods.

    I'm glad you say the Hardley is a Husqvarna.

    We all know those bikes are great at converting fuel into noise without the benefit of making horsepower... AHAHA!

    Oh... Well your metaphor sucks then!

    In all honesty I've never been real impressed with the 660. I even worked mine over with a big bore kit and its "m'eh" considering the weight and cc.

    The big bore for the 660 is less than impressive. A ported mahle cylinder on one is way more impressive.

    Does a modded muffler make much of a difference on a 562?

    If it sounds faster it must be faster right? Like flames on a car. Always good for some extra horses :rofl: :lol: :thumbs:

    Don't forget to buy an aftermarket cover to protect the original sticker.

    That's what they make them "Magnum" stickers for.

    It makes a difference, but not huge... The saw is already impressive as is.

    So much prettier in red. I would love the WH on mine but in america we can't have that...... 99% of the time mine wears 20" total and the other 1% it wears Oregon power match 24" with RSLHK. Ported by Mitch it is one of my favorite saws!
