Husqvarna 560 XP Mark II is a versatile 60cc chainsaw for all types of trees in professional forestry. For use with either .325″ or 3/8″ cutting equipment. When you want the power of a large saw in a slim and agile body, this is one of our best petrol chainsaws. Featuring AutoTune 3.0 with Simple Start Technology, this chainsaw always starts easily and runs optimally in all conditions. The high-rev 60cc X-Torq engine makes felling, limbing and bucking hardwood and large conifers easy.
High cutting capacity
New engine design offers plenty of grunt for peak performance even during longer cuts. The high cutting capacity makes the saw ideal for productive operation – even when using a longer guide bar.
Slimmed-down design
Low, slender saw body makes the chainsaw easy and convenient to handle in any situation.
Always optimized
Thanks to AutoTune 3.0, the engine settings are always optimized for maximum startability and performance in all conditions, keeping you going no matter the challenges. No need for manual carburetor adjustment.
X-Torq engine
The X-Torq engine design increases torque over a wider rpm range providing maximum cutting power.
Optimized saw body
No protruding parts, a smooth underside, rounded starter cover and well-protected controls all make the saw easy to handle.
Air Injection filters 98% of incoming dust
Give you full working days with maintained performance and less wear on the engine.
Felling sight to last a lifetime
Perfect sight is critical when felling – so we made one that will outlast the chainsaw itself.
Magnetic filter protects the engine
A magnetic filter inside the fuel hose effectively prevents metal particles from reaching the carburetor and engine, which minimizes wear and interruptions.
Retained bar nuts
The retaining function prevents loosing the bar nuts.
Low vibrations
Husqvarna’s anti vibration system efficiently separates your hands from the vibrations generated by the engine and the cutting equipment. This is to protect your body but also to reduce the fatigue in your arms and hands and in the end of the day contribute to make your workday more productive.
Quick and easy adjustment
Chain tension should be checked regularily during use. The saw comes with a side-mounted chain tensioner that makes adjustment quick and easy.
Flip up tank caps
Easy to open and secure firmly, even when wearing thick winter gloves.
Retained starter screws
The retaining function prevents losing the screws holding the starter.

FAQs
Will this fit my machine?
Fitment can vary by model and deck size. Send us your mower model (and deck size if applicable) and we’ll confirm compatibility before you order.
