I don't know..... If you are slinging a saw 8hours/day 5days/week you would think you would be in good shape and wouldnt even notice a few ounces on a saw..... especially PROFESSIONAL loggers. Is there a logging diploma you get after 4 years of study from a University in France or something?
I'm a pro logger full time for more than 17 years, I think I know what I am talking about. When you have to limb as fast as you can all day long, a 560xp is just 10x better than a 620. I don't have strength issues, I 'm 1.85m and 88kg, but at the end of the week, you can feel the difference.
And that's for me, my older co-worker is 59, he's logger from 43 years, and 3 years ago he sold his 2 362cm and he replaced them with 2 560xp,just because of the weight.
Just try to do this job for a few years, especially here in the mountains, you'll understand my point.
