The Husqvarna 560 XP® Mark II is a high-performance 60cc petrol chainsaw engineered for the rigours of professional forestry. It perfectly balances the power of a large saw with a slim, agile, and ergonomic body, providing outstanding cutting capacity for felling, limbing, and bucking hardwood and large conifers. This versatile chainsaw is suitable for use with either .325” or 3/8” cutting equipment, making it a flexible tool for any professional arborist or forester.
Engineered for Professional Performance
At the core of the 560 XP® Mark II is a high-revving 59.8cc X-Torq® engine, renowned for its power and efficiency. The saw features Husqvarna’s advanced AutoTune 3.0 with Simple Start Technology, which automatically optimises the engine settings for fuel type, altitude, and temperature. This ensures the chainsaw starts easily and runs at peak performance in all conditions, without the need for manual carburettor adjustments.
Designed for the Operator
Husqvarna has optimised the saw body for user comfort and control. The slimmed-down design makes it easy and convenient to handle, reducing operator fatigue during long workdays. Its LowVib® system separates the handles from the engine, effectively damping vibrations. For precision work, the critical felling sight is designed to last a lifetime, ensuring perfect aim every time. Flip-up tank caps are easy to open and secure, even with gloves on, streamlining the refuelling process.
Simplified Maintenance and Durability
Built for demanding use, the 560 XP® Mark II incorporates features that enhance durability and simplify maintenance. The Air Injection™ centrifugal air cleaning system removes 98% of incoming dust and debris before it reaches the air filter, maintaining performance and reducing wear. A magnetic fuel filter protects the engine from metal debris, extending its life. User-friendly touches like retained bar nuts and starter screws prevent accidental loss during servicing, a common frustration in the field.
