Well I finally got a chance to take my new 562 out and cut a load of wood Sunday. So here goes at first I fired the saw up and liked the way it felt in my hand and sounded great with the MM that randy did. So I go put it in some wood and I was like WTF this thing sucks I was really bummed. But then I did another cut and another cut and another cut and then was like WOW. This thing is the weirdest saw I have ever ran to feel that carb make adjustment after adjustment its almost like it shifts gears. So the more I cut the more I looked back at my 385XP and felt bad that I wasn't using that I always loved to go to. Anyway this saw is pretty awesome and randy did a great job on this thing. We ran a 372 ported side by side with it and hold right with it in rock hard oak up to 18 inch my dad couldent belive it. He was almost to proud to admit this little saw kept up with his simonized 372. At the end of the day all he would saw is that is one fast saw. Had I had to chime in and saw ya and over a pound lighter too...... lol. Anyway I did get to run my 385 once we got to some 25 inch plus stuff. Ill post some pics of before and after we put a cord and a quarter in the trailer in just over a hour not too bad for cutting dead and down here in AZ.
 
Nice...cool that you are one of the first to get a 562xp ported. Looking forward to the pics.

You have quite the saw lineup by the way
 
Derail have you got a buffler in Az? I was lucky enough to harvest one in 1972. At the time I was the youngest to ever kill one I was 12. One shot one Buff. sorry about the bad pic but:( it is what it is.

Just so you get an idea of how big that tree is. What we took off that tree was 1 and 1/4 cord

I always thought it was cause you liked to hunt neked:laugh:
 
I'm glad you like the saw Dom. I just finished another one and will be pulling some fuel through it over the next week or so.

I get a good deal on them and am able to sell them modded with a bar and two chains for a grand.
 
I would of but no memory sticks for my camra and the wife would be pissed if I erased video of the kids to record me cutting wood!!! If it wasnt so close to valentines I would do it lmao
