    Is this what your talking about. I just traded my old 562XP for a new 562XPG, once you have heated handles, you'll never buy another without them.

    It was $140 to trade a used one for a new one with heat. One phone call and it's yours.

    Besides, it's your turn to buy lunch.

    I had a 20" that I would have dealt better than that. Stihl some blue letters visible. $25 shipped.

    Do you have any Stihl bars? With no sig line I can't tell ? They make an adapter that let's you run Stihl bars on a Husq large mount saw. The adapters are cheap and you only need to stock one type of bar. Stihl ES :)

    With an 18", you'd be better off with a 24". That would better compliment the saws ability with 2 bars.

    That means either settling for a standard bar or going to the aftermarket (Sugihara, Oregon, Tsumara(sp?), etc,) if he wants a lightweight 24". Neither Stihl nor Husqvarna make such a critter.

    I would be all about a lightweight 24" on a 562 as a "big bar" option. But that's just my personal preference.
