Bill, probably not the same saw . This thing is lighter than any of my saws ,except the 346 xp .

Boys that cut wood for me on Saturday had those red Jonsered saws. They cut pretty dang good also. I was kidding them about running that orange Stihl 2 cycle oil I mix in them. They are real loggers and have their own skidder and had no problem running my skid steer while I ran down and got subs for lunch. Took them over to the saw shop for new wedges and chaps for the job they are on for the gas company clearing right of ways.

J'reds are pretty neat saws , they are basically a husqvarna with different design tweaks . They and Dolmar/Makita are good machines,. They just don't have a decent dealer network .
Jonsered has 3 dealers within 20 miles? If so, I now have 3 dealers within the distance of me-to-you (give or take 20 miles). Great saws but as John said, no real marketing.
Husqvarna must have re-arranged their model #'s. Your 60cc on a 562 XP caught me off guard as I could have swore my 365 is bigger then that. I checked the specs and sure enough, the 365 has a bigger engine but they're running pretty much the same HP.
Looking over the specs, the 562 revs higher which puts it in the same range. If it is about the same, it's a great saw...

The 562 will push my 372 or 044 for guts . I wouldn't have thought until I ran it . And, it's lighter as well. Just sips fuel too .

The 390 is back as of this A M . Haven't run it as We seem to be on a weather delay .

She's running on an 8 pin rim as opposed to a 7 pin . It kinda choked in stock form on that white oak . No problem opened up a bit .
The 372 is in a box awaiting shipment for it's facelift

I have a Jnsrud I think 2044 with Turbo. It is at my cabin so going by memory. From what I heard anyone that runs a chainsaw has a poor memory or is aged. An awfully nice saw but kind of tough getting started after it has sat for a month or so. Once started for the rest of the day it starts first pull.

I have two Husky 55 Ranchers and a 562.
Love them all.
Biggest issue I have with any of them is that they really heat up the chains fast if you aren't careful. Which then expand and jump the drive cogs.
That said, they always start and never bog.

Turn up the chain oiler ,and make sure the chain is properly sharpened .
If you are cutting wood with dirt in the bark, go with semi chisel chain .
It's real likely Your saws are carrying full chisel low kick back chain .
That's the way most come from the dealer .

Your saws likely came with low kick back chain . It says Husqvarna ,but it's made by Oregon . If You want a chain that is top shelf , go with Stihl RSC chain . If however You are cutting wood with dirt ,etc in it try their RMC chain .
Also try looking at www.baileysonline.com . Look at woodland pro chain in chisel and semi chisel . Basically clean wood =chisel , dirty wood (as in on the ground ) semi chisel .
How are You liking the 562 ? She's a horse , isn't she ?

Fixed my error and it is easy to see the power difference. I do believe the red ones the Amish were running were a bit faster.
That's the super secret Amish porting and muffler mod at work . They'd rather die than share it with Us English heathens

I thought it was because they know how to sharpen a chain.
They need to be sharpened ??

I was wrong. I have a 2050 Turbo. And again a tough little saw. I thought I remembered 48cc. When the Turbo kicks in you can feel it.

Wow ! You got the Amish only version ..... Lucky You !

On second thought , as that's a fairly rare saw and all , go to www.arboristsite.com/chainsaw/. They should be able to give You directions on where to go with Your saw .

Mr thcri!
I just sent another saw in for tweaking . When it comes back , can I post before and after videos ? Or will I have to suffer your junsred turbo 989 posts yet again ?
If you had a decent saw you wouldn't have to keep taking them in for tweaking.

Yeah ? Well if you could ride a bike without being a danger to yourself and others , yours wouldn't have to be stationary !
