Description
Bucking frozen hardwood logs in sub-zero snowstorms, the Husqvarna 564 XP 28-inch Light maintains steady chain momentum through knotty wood. Professional timber fallers conquer tough timber sales using electronic fuel injection that meters fuel without carburetor adjustment screws. You sink the bumper spikes and pull thick wood chips cleanly all shift long.
A precision magnesium crankcase encases an induction-hardened forged crankshaft rotating inside heavy roller bearings. Husqvarna matches the fuel injection system to a 28-inch X-Tough Light guide bar that reduces front-end powerhead weight by up to 15 percent. The replaceable sprocket nose runs on precision bearings secured by triple hardened steel rivets to resist rail spread under heavy wedging force.
Bench Load Torsional Limits
Dynamometer testing shows steady 4.7 HP output across 9,600 RPM under load, holding crankshaft deflection under 0.0013-inch under full bar burial. Commercial timber outfits aiming to buy Husqvarna 564 XP 28-inch Light packages find competitive fleet pricing on a commercial fuel-injected logging chainsaw that eliminates cold morning tuning delays. Fuel consumption remains linear across full 40-minute cutting runs.
Key Features of Husqvarna 564 XP 28-inch Light
Fuel-injected forestry specs maintain chain cutting speeds through heavy hardwood stands.
- Electronic fuel injection meters fuel delivery precisely without manual carburetor jets.
- The 28-inch X-Tough Light bar reduces front-end tool weight to optimize felling balance.
- A 3/8-inch pitch C85 full-chisel chain slices dense oak fiber cleanly without dragging engine RPM down.
- Centrifugal Air Injection removes 98 percent of sawdust before air contacts the filter.
- Captive clutch cover nuts eliminate lost hardware in deep mountain snowdrifts.
- Molded felling sight marks provide permanent directional visual lines during tree felling.
Field Usability Negative Filter
Slim powerhead contours allow fallers to slide the saw flush against trunk root flares for low directional cuts. The lightweight bar profile moves tool balance closer to the operator, reducing lower back strain during long limbing shifts. Do not buy this 60cc production felling chainsaw for light orchard trimming or casual camp firewood. Its 14.8-pound powerhead weight and high-strung engine tune will tire non-professional operators rapidly.
Factory Warranty Delivery Manifest
The shipping box delivers the 564 XP powerhead, a 28-inch X-Tough Light guide bar, a 3/8-inch 0.050-inch C85 chain loop, a scrench, and an edge guard.
