Husqvarna 564 XP® Fuel Inject: The Saw Built for the New Speed of Tree Work
Husqvarna 564 XP® Fuel Inject: The Saw Built for the New Speed of Tree Work
Every generation of arborists has a tool that changes the tempo of the job. Not just a sharper chain, not just a bigger engine, not just another professional saw with a louder claim on the box. A true shift happens when the machine feels like it has caught up with the way professionals actually work: fast decisions, changing timber, awkward cuts, long days, and zero patience for hesitation.
The Husqvarna 564 XP® Fuel Inject is one of those shifts.
This is not simply another 60cc chainsaw. It is Husqvarna’s answer to a problem every forestry and tree care professional knows well: how do you get big-saw confidence without giving up compact-saw movement?
The answer is fuel injection, a compact professional body, and a design philosophy that treats acceleration, balance and operator fatigue as part of the same equation.
The End of “Wait for It”
In tree work, hesitation is expensive. A saw that takes a moment to wake up can break rhythm, waste energy and slow the whole crew down. The 564 XP® Fuel Inject is built around a different feeling: immediate response.
Its fuel injection system delivers dynamic fuel management, helping the saw adapt faster across changing working conditions. Instead of the familiar delay between throttle and bite, the 564 XP® is designed to give professionals instant throttle response and fast acceleration.
That matters when you are moving from limbing to blocking down, from clean softwood to stubborn hardwood, from ground work to long sessions where every movement counts. The saw is built to feel ready before you have even finished asking for power.
60cc Agility, Serious Output
The headline idea behind the 564 XP® Fuel Inject is simple but powerful: the manoeuvrability of a smaller saw with the output expected from a larger professional machine.
With 62.4 cm³ displacement and 4 kW output shaft power, the 564 XP® brings a strong power-to-weight profile into a compact body. At 5.8 kg excluding cutting equipment, it sits in that sweet spot professionals chase: light enough to move, powerful enough to matter, and responsive enough to make each cut feel controlled.
That combination is especially valuable for arborists, forestry crews and land management professionals who do not want to choose between fatigue and cutting capacity. You can run a saw all day, but if it fights your body on every cut, the workday gets longer than it needs to be.
The 564 XP® is built to reduce that fight.
Fuel Injection Is More Than a Feature
Fuel injection sounds technical, but the benefit is very practical: the saw is designed to manage fuel delivery more dynamically than traditional carburettor engines. Husqvarna describes this technology as enabling faster adaptation to conditions, instant throttle response, fast acceleration, high productivity and efficient fuel consumption.
For professionals, that means fewer mental calculations and more trust in the tool. The saw is doing more of the adjusting in the background, so the operator can focus on the cut, the timber, the hinge, the escape path, the rigging plan and the next move.
A great professional chainsaw should not demand attention for the wrong reasons. It should disappear into the rhythm of the work.
That is the promise of the 564 XP® Fuel Inject: smarter performance, less hesitation, more flow.
Balance You Can Feel
Power is only impressive if you can place it accurately.
The 564 XP® includes an outboard clutch designed to create a narrower saw body and improve balance. This is one of those details that does not always jump off a spec sheet, but it matters in the hands. Better balance means better control when the cut is awkward, when the saw is extended, or when the day has already put hours into your shoulders and forearms.
The slimmed-down design also helps the saw feel easier to handle across different cutting situations. For professionals, that handling advantage can be just as important as raw power. A saw that moves cleanly through the work helps the operator stay efficient, accurate and safer.
Built for the Dirty Reality of Professional Cutting
Tree work is not done in a clean workshop. It happens in dust, chips, bark, heat, rain, mud and sawdust-heavy air. The 564 XP® is built with that reality in mind.
Husqvarna’s Air Injection system is designed to filter incoming dust, helping maintain performance and reduce engine wear. The magnetic fuel filter helps protect the engine from metal debris. The snap-lock cylinder cover supports faster access when changing spark plugs or cleaning. The flip-up tank caps are easy to open and secure. The 2K moulded fuel window helps reduce the risk of running dry mid-task.
These are not glamorous features. They are better than glamorous. They are the small, practical design choices that keep a professional saw earning its place in the truck.
Less Strain, More Workday
No serious operator needs to be told that vibration adds up. A little discomfort in the morning can become tired hands, tired arms and tired decisions by the afternoon.
The 564 XP® features Husqvarna’s vibration-dampening design, with listed vibration levels of 3 m/s² at the rear handle and 3.3 m/s² at the front handle. Combined with the saw’s compact body, lightweight muffler and improved balance, this makes the 564 XP® a professional tool designed not just for output, but for endurance.
Because productivity is not just about how fast a saw cuts in the first five minutes. It is about how well the operator and the saw are still performing hours later.
Pick Your Setup: 18", 20" or 24"
At ArbSupplies, the Husqvarna 564 XP® Fuel Inject is available in three AU/NZ bar options:
18" X-Tough RSN 3/8" C85
A nimble professional setup for fast handling and everyday forestry or tree care work.
20" X-Tough Light RSN 3/8" C85
A balanced middle ground for operators wanting extra reach without overloading the feel of the saw.
24" X-Tough Light RSN 3/8" C85
A longer-bar option for larger timber and heavier cutting situations where capacity matters.
Across the variants, the 564 XP® uses C85 chain and 3/8" pitch, with a recommended bar length range from 38 cm to 70 cm.
Who Is the 564 XP® Fuel Inject For?
This saw is built for professionals who know exactly what downtime costs.
It is for forestry crews who need acceleration and stamina. It is for arborists who want compact handling without sacrificing serious power. It is for experienced operators who can feel the difference between a saw that simply runs and a saw that works with them.
The Husqvarna 564 XP® Fuel Inject is not aimed at casual weekend cutting. It is a professional-grade tool built for people who make decisions with a saw in hand.
The New Benchmark Is Responsiveness
The most innovative thing about the 564 XP® may not be one single feature. It is the way the features work together.
Fuel injection for faster response. A short-stroke engine for compact performance. A slimmed-down body for easier handling. Outboard clutch balance. Low vibration. Strong cutting capacity. Professional serviceability. Longer bar capability.
The result is a saw that feels purpose-built for modern tree work: faster, smarter, slimmer and more responsive.
The Husqvarna 564 XP® Fuel Inject does not just bring more power to the job. It brings a better rhythm.
And in professional cutting, rhythm is everything.
