Jack is pretty good on the porting and runs square ground chain. He has 100s of videos of falling and bucking out there also.:beer:

I don't need a 550XP, but I bought one anyway;)

My 550 is awesome with .325 and a 7pin. The rpms are simply amazing in the cut. It'll be interesting to see how it will compare to the 562 when I get a chance to use it. I'm about broke! Please Husqvarna, no new rear handle AT's for a while! :msp_ohmy: Sure wish the MS201c was M-Tronic!!

Maybe I was a bit too critical, but from how the saw doesn't really rev up when most of the bar isn't cutting when it gets out of the main log on the first cut attempt and then how the cookie self-crumbles from 1:38-1:42 sure makes it seem like a misleading video to me. He doesn't say the log is solid, but it sure seems the impression to be given is one of "hey, this little sucker has so much power that it'll cut right through this huge log".
