Following along on the 562xp, I'm finding it's not all it was cracked up to be, for me at least.
So what is realistic? What weight should a 60cc saw be? A 70cc saw, a 50cc saw? Are we expecting too much of saws or not enough? This is the 2000's, why do we have saws built 30 years ago that weigh less and perform as well or better than the new models? Or do they perform better than the older counter parts?
I'm all for a 60cc saw that pulls a 28" bar, but if it's only a pound lighter than a 70cc saw that pulls it better, which would you grab? Maybe I'm expecting too much, but it seems like the latest and greatest seem to be gaining pounds without the power gains we where promised!
