finally

went down to Medford yesterday for Husky demo days and actually saw a 562 in the flesh ! first ran a 357 for a baseline then a 555 . the 555 was way smoother and pulled a lot better. Then for the icing on the cake ran a 562. That saw was quite impressive! It is the next saw on my list. Btw- I got there about 1 pm and the mechanic told me I was the first person to run a saw all day. Couldn't believe it
 
Went through another tank of fuel today, pics and video to be posted later. She keeps getting better and better.
 
Here's the rather boring video. Pics to follow.

That tree had 3 trunks, two small ones out towards me and to the right a little bit, and the main trunk leaning back and to the left. I took the two smaller pieces off on Saturday and finished it off today. There were two other trees right behind this one that needed to be taken down first as I really only had one place to put the tree without hitting other crap in the yard. It was easier to land it in one spot than it was to move the crap :dizzy:

This one shows the lean of the tree represented by my arm, and where the tree landed.

Some rot in the middle.

Cleaned up the stump. There happened to be two slots in the stump already so I thought it would be a good place to leave the saws for a while.

And this is my new beer glass for after the wedding.

Dropped by the local Husky dealer today, still no 555 or 562. Supposed to be a couple more weeks. As with a couple weeks ago haha. Looking forward to checking one out!

Come check it out at the Maine GTG this Saturday!! :hmm3grin2orange: Just a short ride....
 
I got a chance to stop by TK's shop today and check out both the 555 and 562 XP, both felt like super nice saws. Also picked up a few pointers while I was there.

Thanks again for taking the time to talk saws!

Anytime. Free coffee in the mornings, too.
One of these days maybe I can swing by and lend a hand with that firewood you were talking about. Just have to get a few things cleared up at the folks house and for a buddy around the corner first. If you can make it to the GTG on Saturday you can cop a legitimate feel of the 562 :msp_thumbup:
 
Going to try to keep the vids fresh and in the same post and on the current page for those who are like me and don't want to read an entire 12 page thread.

I hope I can rely on someone at the Maine GTG to capture a better video in a staged log for cookie cutting....

Moss Man has mad skills with the camera yo.

Tell Pete hi from Mitch if you remember.
 
Which bar and chain are you running in those videos?

Thanks.

Philbert

The bar is an Oregon Pro-Lite 18" and the chain is a Husky H48/Oregon 73LGX - which were taken off my 365 for the time being. The chain is nearly gone and the rakers are a tad low. It was previously used for a bunch of pine. Not my setup of choice for maple and or limbing, but I was too lazy to swap it out as it was still sharp :laugh:

I would have preferred H42/73LPX - but more important, rakers that were set "normal".......:msp_wink:

The rakers were set properly, as the 365 was ripping through the aforementioned pine without issues. It was rather fun to be honest with you :msp_thumbsup: But it will do for the time being. I have a newer chain that I swap back and forth with. I stick with the LGX style chain for now, the LPX is a tougher sell. People don't like change.
