So I have a 562xp ( 20 inch bar Wish it was longer) and a t435 and the combo has worked out well for me. Some back round. Most of my cuting is on oak logs that are dropped off to me. Some tree take downs but only like 35% of my cuting.
In any case my 562 is down atm and It kills me that I cant cut any more rounds. Most of my cuts are on sub 24 inch. That being said I have hit a few 42 inch hear and there. With the 562 being down for a few weeks I was thing of grabing some thing that could still handle a 20 inch log but be a bit lighter. But when I looked the 550XP Mark II is 11.7 Pounds and the 562 xp is 12.6 Pounds.
I see that the 550 run a bit more rpms but has a good deal less power and at less then a lb difference
In any case and info or recommendation on a saw that was a bit lighter then a 562xp but still has the go to take down a 20 inch logs day in day out. Or should I stick with what I got?
