Yep, I find it easier to get a deal on a bigger CC saw rather than the popular 60-70cc saws.
I may be looking for a 90cc later as a "big" saw that I can mill with also.

562xp and 555 are pretty dreamy. I purchased a 555 and have 4 other saws around the farm. The 555 gets 90% of the use. The only time it isn't chosen is because another saw is in the tractors scabbard and I run across something needing cut.

I went 555. If I needed bigger than a 20" bar I would have went 562xp for the extra $. I am more than pleased with its performance. The price was the same for a 550xp and 555 for me at my dealer with 20" bar/chain.
"Best firewood saw" is said quite a bit here about the 555. I paid $585 OTD...
Bucked about 3 cord worth of walnut, hickory and oak today. Boy, this saw is kick ass.
I better not run a 562xp because if it is much better then I would be in trouble, CAD wise.

Nice day so I thought I would run some fuel through the 555. Starting to make my way through the tops.
Then we went to check stands, look for sheds and scout my next scrounge as both neighbors are having hardwoods harvested.
Fine day in Ohio.
It was the same price for me to get the 555 as the Echo. I went that route. 562xp would have been the choice if $ didn't matter.

I will take pics next time. And by "wild" that would be a stretch as all of my woods are by residential areas. 200 acre fields, 30 acre woods then homes. Repeat.

Seems strange to me but makes sense. Our maples are what chokes everything else out here. The last silver I cut was +40"

Husqvarna 555 is what I went with. Pro built, plenty of power for a 20" bar and it is relatively inexpensive for a "Pro" saw. I also have other saws but I dont see them getting used much anymore.
