... ... i know there is some worthy wood left but come on man. my grandfather logged from east to west. he left the east back in the 60's cause there was nothing left to be cut there lol. or has it grown back? hahahah ... ...
... ... as has been discussed these new 572's are designed to appeal to a really broad cross section of the saw market place, both pro and not....appeals to farmer types like me, especially if the advertised emphasis on reliability turns into reality. After the first year, the pizazz of new is gone and the grind of life with the saw continues. The ease of which it is to live with a saw in those out years is what builds brand loyalty or contempt. ... ...
To that, I'm pretty stoked about them, as well, and will of course wait a year or 2 to see what's what. I hope that given the growing pains that they had with the 550 and 562, that the reason for the delays putting this saw out has been testing and testing and testing. (though I can't complain about how good they were to work with, giving me a brand new 550 with the updates, and selling me my original 7-8 hour 550 for scrap saw price, so I could re-tune the idle air bypass under the brass plug, and give it to my dad after I re-sealed the top end and transfers to make sure they were good. Which, as it happens, was QUITE a step up for him, from his ECHO 440EVL that he bought 30 years ago, has used for fire wood every year, and is still on the stock top end!)
Watching your recent videos on the 555-562 differences, though, makes me think that getting a 565 and making it a 572 won't be as easy as the 365 XT turning into a 372XP XT by grinding the dividers out of the transfer covers! Really glad I saw that before trying to find a stuffer crank for my 555 to turn it into a 562, and nothing fitting!

Thank you. I did not know that.Weight
Small mount bars range from 12”-18” (maybe 20” too). Large mount bars range from 18” - 36+”. The small mount bars are narrower top to bottom. The large mount bars are taller / larger. Generally small mount bars favor .325 chain, but do come in 3/8”. Large mount bars favor 3/8” chain, and can come in 0.404”. Therefore, in summary, a small mount bar and chain will generally weigh less than a large mount bar and chain.
Small mount range from 12"-28" in 3/8' to me it's more of a hold back as well as they aren't as strong. To weight if you guys are really worried about the weight of a bar that short then run a smaller saw.Weight

I had to laugh at that statement. Andyshine 77 said "most loggers think they are at the center of the universe". I doubt if the "Tree Farming Association" even knows there is a Southern Indiana.There's not much true old-growth in the east, but FWIW, the 58 acre section of the family farm here that was supposedly the best white and red oak stand in Indiana according to the tree farming association (a lot of the big ones in that area got logged a couple years ago, and a few more finishing up right now.
You don't have to import anything, just go buy a Jonsered 2260, that's what I did and EVERYONE who uses the saw, LOVES it!But if weight savings is what you’re chasing, it’s easier to buy a RW bar than to import a whole saw from across the pond.
Not sure that anyone was actually "worried " about the weight, just explaining the difference/benefit.Small mount range from 12"-28" in 3/8' to me it's more of a hold back as well as they aren't as strong. To weight if you guys are really worried about the weight of a bar that short then run a smaller saw.

I found this gem in another thread. It's supposedly the rear handle of said 'mystery saw'

Best post on the interwebs!!!It appears all loggers believe where they are, is the center of the universe.[emoji4]
