some of you that dont think the 562xp is up to its reputation must not have ran one yet. no it wont replace my falling saws but it has worked it way into my line up of saws. it resides on the skidder making its self indespensable at work. the ported 562xp with the same 20'' bar and chain is faster than a 372xp,372xpw,ms440,7900. these are the only saws ive ran it against side by side same wood same bar and chain. there will always be exceptions to the rule with any stock saw. some just run like a ported saw right out of the box but for the average run of the mill 70cc saw this saws going to be smoother ,lighter,faster and more fuel efficient. i dont claim the 562 to be the cure for cancer but dont knock it until youve ran it. as far as i know theres only a handful of ported 562's out there so i dont see how so many of you can have an opinion of them yet. i also cant figure out how my gtg thread got off on a this saws better than that saw tangent. i told morewood that my 562 would spank his 440 and it did,no more no less. theres no lines to read between here its plain out in the open fact of the matter. saw was run by morewood in the same red oak . i got my donut and he got to run a great saw.

I want to say the 562 was cutting 1.80s in the 8x8. My xpw was cutting 1.70s. Both had nice chains on them. I think hedgerows 9010 cut 1.4x if I remember right.

Most had decided it was over hyped when the first picture was released....the pic just looked "peaky"


Sure am glad they have springs on the Stihl models now though....what a game changer otstir:

im sure that gap will get larger with bigger wood especially since the xpw is ported too.

I'm sure it would but the 562 was hanging on right with it. Jeremys 044 ran about the same as the 562 when him and jody were playing around.

tents down and loaded up, tables are loaded back onto my trailer to take back,adult beverage contaners disposed of :rolleyes2:,cans are in there place, cookies a burnin. only evidence of a gtg is the stump shack out by the calf pen.
guess its time to start planning the next one

Can't you read all their name tags? oke: I could make out a few, but more id's would be cool...

I think the name tags was a great idea! (I suck with names!) I think I'll shamelessly steal that idea for our GTG in September!

Dang I wish we coulda found a way to get out there. Well, at least now that I know how much fun it is, I'll be dedicatin more savings to be able to go to next years' gtg's! Hopefully we'll be making a LOT more of em next year! :kilt::kilt::kilt::kilt:

I don't see many of those tags in the pictures.-...opcorn:

 

[tlandrum]

at my gtg its almost become a family reunion and we know each other like we know our own cousins. so for the most part we dont use the name tags, seems like the only guys that are wearing the name tags are the new landrum family gtg members. ya'll come next time and we'll know who you are too.

 

[pops21]

Thank you terry and anne. You two put on one heck of a gtg. Anna makes the BEST broccoli salad I have ever had. I had a great time. Ran some nice running saws. Got to meet some cool people too.
Wiggs I bet you are one hurting dude today. Get some rest.

 

[rms61moparman]

Well Sheila and I are tucked back into our little shack and Wendell is on the "second leg" of his journey home.
Had a STUPENDOUS time (for a guy who couldn't run saws) and got to fellowship with a GREAT bunch of folks!

Thanks to all the Landrum family for all that you put into making this a great time for everyone and looking forward to the next time we are together.
Certainly glad to see so many of our ladies taking part in these GTGs they really add a lot of atmosphere.

Not any doubt what the bast looking saw in the buildoff was..................................GO POULAN!!!

P.S. I stood it as long as I could and had to make a couple of cuts with my hot rod 4000!

Looks like a fun get together, I keep saying I'm going to catch one. We had a family day last Sat. and just now recuperating. I'll keep watching and the next GTG in reasonable distance this fall, I'll get my ugly brother and catch one. Hopefully someone can bring a Mac 35 and take me back a half century.

Might have got a 1.2 if Anthony woulda come over and help me push on it...:msp_scared:
Mdavlee sharpens a great chain...
Just sayin...
