I see this thread is old but....Op...did you mod the muffler? would like to know what you did because I think my muffler is same as yours but different than what others have posted in 261 to 262 muffler mod threads.
Hey Chipper...long time! Everything is shut down out here and we have been on a stay at home order for about a week now. Its been raining so yard work isnt very appealing but its a good time to spend with the kids.
Thanks Doug, I have all the PPE.. actually really good ppe and had one of those Peavy bars that you can roll a log with and then it Jack's up the log but unfortunately it is missing from my wood pile.
I went with Andy's 288 co and this thing is fast! What took a few hours with my 550 only took about 30 mins with th 288. I thought I needed a bigger bar and therefore a bigger saw. Nope the 20" bar is perfect
To tell the truth a pushed a big ass log off the pile and it rolled a bit further than I thought. Rolled over my 550 lol and now I need to replace the rear handle gas tank assembly.
I have to cut up a huge pile of logs the earthers worker made when he cleared my land so I could build...I bought a 550xp to maintain the land having never run a saw before and quickly realized 50cc is kind of small. So I'm thinking I can either pay a guy or buy a saw....the wood I am after is...
35-45' is what I have. I have (I think) 4 logs. 2 of the logs are over 24" and the other two are 18". Ive been trying to get a value on it but...not as easy as it seems.
I don't know what to get it milled in to cause I don't know what I am going to do with it. Also...funds are pretty limited right now as we build the house.
