    Dolmar prices...

    Craigslist finds...

    Is there a thread for this anymore? There have been some nice saws up north lately. There is an echo twin in VT. For 650$ I remember those been kinda grail-like at one time. Russ

    New saw in my possession...

    Asked around a bit then grabbed a 550xp today. 16" bar, spare chain. Doubled the warranty by grabbing some husqvarna ethanol free premix. Jumped on that, when I bought my 562xp the warranty was six months. This will be my first picture attempt on here, cross your fingers. Russ

    Oil type in canned pre mix?

    I know SEF runs motul in theirs. Wondering what Tru Fuel and stihl run in their blends. I know that I like the tru fuel a lot. Totally odorless in both my saws. Russ

Based on circumference alone it was the biggest maple in the U.S. When factoring heighth and branch...

    562XP actual weight...

    I was searching posts on the 562XP and came across a pic showing the PHO weight. It was less than what is listed on the Husqvarna site. Obviously, being an owner, I want it to be as light as possible. Does anyone have a picture of one on a scale? I know it is lighter than my 357 was but I...

    562 clutch cover switch

    Hi, I am way to numb to be the first to think of this but could you put an orange cover from a 555 on a 562? If so, what do you think it would run you? I am so ghey that I am concerned about uglying up my silver cover but don't have the ability to clear coat and protect it. Sucks to be so anal...
