    No must put new chain for every cut , also the pressing on the saw must be the same for every cut something that a man can not do it every time with the same accuracy
    so all theese comparisons out of laboratory conditions its just a bull chits .

    Mus be after you get past a 20" bar because I can't tell. Actually, the 562xp seems faster with less torque up to 20".

    The 562 , 560 for europe its, a fantastic saw fast , strong , and the most importand very friendly for the operator , for the comparisons now its a big story with many parameters if you want to be a accurate comparison.

    If they are clo0se enough to worry about how your cutting technique varies and affects the outcome, there is no real world difference.
    I enjoy using my Stihl 026 but if the Husky 555 that I have on order does not shine by comparison I will be disappointed, and I'm not talking about minor variations that my technique might cause.

    No worries, the 555 will absolutely smoke a 026!

    In wood up to say 18" the difference between the two will not be that much. Get the bar buried in 24" wood and differences are apparent, if the 562 starts warm. :hair: :headbang: (And yes I am familiar, I am on my second one)

    A new chain for every cut?

    Unless it's a loop off of a roll that you bought and spun back to back?

    I've seen off the loop chain vary greatly from month to month.. RS is only as good as the day it was made.

    Some brands of chain are excellent when brand new and will never be that good again. One other is poor when new but when sharpened is very good.

    The only real comparison would be to use the same chain although that is much too putzy, I'd rather cut wood.

    Would need to be running up near max on the little saw.

    I didn't notice much difference between my 395 w/ 8 pin and 36" vs my 576 with 7 pin 24", both running LGX; in normal ground bucking conditions. Load the saw buck up and the 395 pulls ahead with no compition.

    One or two seconds deference means nothing i just want to say that can not make a 100% comparison out in the woods because you can not stabilize many parameters that you can in laboratory conditions. one example is that you can not put the 100% same pressure in every cut the other is the condition of the wood ( dirt-clean , knots ) all theese will give a small time diference in the final results
