My 550XP is very light on the juice but when you get into big stuff it gets pretty thirsty.
@James Miller Hope there wasn't too much damage to the house. If you and your family are OK, everything else is just stuff.View attachment 738616 Were gonna find out if the first ones hard maple or not as half of its laying on my kids swingset and trampoline.View attachment 738617 and this one smashed my deck and is laying against the back of the house.
Believe we may have caught a small tornado.
The house is fine. The deck is the worst of the damage but it can be fixed along with the swing set.James, hope there is not too much damage, and that everyone is OK. My Daughter's place narrowly missed it last year, but her Husband's PU truck was totaled. We still have tons of wood to split over there.
Exactly. When I've got a job to do the mtronic and autotune saws are used, when I'm cutting firewood it's all the standard carbed saws, usually ported. They are loud, suck fuel, and fun, but they do cut fast .Great pictures.
In regards to Auto Tune and fuel consumption..
Now i know these are 2 different CC’s but my 562xp uses 1/2 the fuel easy that my ported 385XP does. I still like using the 385xp more.
It's hard to beat the MT and AT saws for efficiency in cutting, fueling, bar changes, operator comfort features, and controls that speed up the process, but those things don't always equate to more fun, just more getting done.

Call the insurance co. before you do anything. Take lots of pics from all angles just in case there is hidden damage to the house.The house is fine. The deck is the worst of the damage but it can be fixed along with the swing set.
And don't clean the mess up until they come out and a claim is discussed. Here they will usually give you/a company 500 for removal of debris, but if you remove it all they may not give you anything, it's easier to negotiate it before removing it. I've negotiated a contract with the insurance company with 500 for removal of debris, if the client wants the wood I will make make them an offer of removing/taking care of the debris and I have them knock the money off what they pay me, many times it's enough to cover the deductable, most just want it gone.Call the insurance co. before you do anything.

Hope everyone is ok. At least you don’t have to haul the wood very far. Hope damage isn’t too bad.View attachment 738616 Were gonna find out if the first ones hard maple or not as half of its laying on my kids swingset and trampoline.View attachment 738617 and this one smashed my deck and is laying against the back of the house.

Thanks, looks great! Should work very well. What winch you using? How long will battery last?@Logger nate Here’s a couple pics hope they help. The extended hitch came from Rural King. I got a piece of 3/4” plate big enough to fit the footprint of the winch and welded it on top then for a bit of extra safety I put 2 grade 8 bolts thru the plate and thru the hitch. The mounting holes for the winch are drilled thru and the grade 10.9 (metric) bolts draw the winch down to the plate. I bought a big deep cell marine battery to run in instead of wiring it in to the truck. Everything rides in a box on the trailer until needed. Just slide into receiver, tighten winch down and hook leads to battery.
Holy heck .
Saw this one today trying to fins a tree job to bid, couldn't find it .View attachment 738723
Old Duke (nieghbor) got himself some lunch. Glad he went out back to hide from the other dogs. Didn't really want coon on my porch.
