So I got it in the woods today, not
Just the log pile. It excels in limbing, its handy to carry, I never did switch to full comp chain, still have the skip tooth. In felling or bucking, it cuts fast but its absolutely intolerant of any pressure applied, which seems to me, as I have read elsewhere here, that it lacks in torque. Probably something to get used to, maybe give up on the 25” bar? the 562 was very much at home with a 24” bar and you could pry against the dogs. I have also read that it takes a dozen or so tanks and it really doesn’t wake up until then. Something with the M-tronic? Timed break in? Except for the switch/throttle/choke thing I really enjoy the ergonomics.
