Got my Husky 55 CP that I purchased from Neal on Friday. Got the 20" bar I had requested mounted with one of the Vanguard chains. He told me they were not the best cutters before he sent them, but I wanted a 3/8" bar to match my Stihl saw so I could interchange chains. Filled with oil and fuel, filed the chain as it looked kind of dull. Found out it has the compression release button so got her started. Runs like a raped ape, but as Neal told me the Vanguard isn't much of a cutter. But I will tell ya with a good chain this will scream. She came a little dirty and the top cap was somewhat sun faded as I knew from his pictures. But have cleaned her up pretty well and looks good. As I told him good looks don't make a saw cut any better so the operation to me was more important. I took a few pics, am very happy with my purchase and Neal has been very helpful. I'm pretty new here so was leery of a saw purchase without seeing it operate in person, but all the comments from members here said I can't go wrong with Neal. Have to say they were very correct. Thanks Neal!!!!
Update: Put on an old loop from my Stihl 20" bar and cut down a smaller tree. Lots of difference, I'm sure a new loop will really make her dig!!
