Question Mingo, what works good to take off all of the pine tar that builds up on the saw? I have been cutting firs and pine in my horse pasture and it makes a mess of the saw.

Wd 40 cuts pine sap pretty good.

Great, thank you I have 4 saws covered

I've ran alot of saws over the past 39 years and I meeeeeen alot. The 562 is by far the smoothest saw I have ever ran. Lite weight, fast, comfy,no vibe, balanced and you don't loose your nuts:msp_thumbsup: also I have a bunch of them but havn't had to work on one yet. My personal saw has been through 3 bars so far. Got to love it

Gas will take the pitch off put some on a rag and wipe it off.

View attachment 262379View attachment 262380View attachment 262383I've been putting 2 gallons of gas a day through it cutting some decent pine. Running a 24" bar with oregon jgx chain which it handles fine. Sometimes it starts a little hard after it runs out of gas, but I think it's me more than the saw getting use to using the gas bulb.View attachment 262378 4 pic

What happened to your 'Jack? Looks like a nice little 440 though

 

[dnash]

Looks like a 340d...how does it compare to the 450?

The Jack is fine I'm doing this job with my Buddy that's his skidder it's a 340. It pulls pretty good for it size a little tippy though lot quieter than the Timberjack. This lot has about 120M on 10 acres.

The load has 5500bd ft of 20&24 footers for the land owner. He has a Wood-Mizer sawmill.

It's a 94 with a 2005 loader on it.

This 562 is making me forget how I whined when Husky did away with the old styie 372. I let Tim the owner of the 340 Deere try my 562 with 24" bar, and he said it cut faster than his2171 Jonsred with a 20' bar.

I love seeing pics like yours with a truck rolling through some suburban neighborhood as soccer moms gawk! Reminds me of working a couple summers for an outfit just north of Boston. We cleared a chunk of woods for a farmer to turn into hay fields and that wound up a whole lot of neighbors. Apparently they thought that because they could see his woodlot that it was theirs...they certainly weren't paying his taxes though. Three or four different times we had the cops called on us for starting the chipper before 7am or having a truck roll out and use the jake before the neighbors were awake. The one guy at the end of the road abutting the property we were working was a real clown and a nuisance. He worked from home or had a wife making big bucks too, because he would be around complaining at all hours of the day. The farmer whom we were working for finally came out to set him straight. When the farmer gave him the option of let us work and make hayfields to preserve the open space, or he could sell the whole 170 acres to the highest bidder and turn the whole thing in to a massive subdivision the guy got the hint. Never could understand why some people work so hard to interfere with other peoples work. Hope things arent that way where you're at.

The 562 would sometimes start a little hard after it ran out of fuel. Went back and read the owners manual, starts a lot better now.View attachment 265138View attachment 265139View attachment 265140View attachment 265141View attachment 265142
