Almost forgot.. Your advice was invaluable, thank you
Here is what I think.."Life starts at 5 cubes"... You read it almost every day. It's starting to sink in and I MIGHT just be ready to "start life".
I say "MIGHT" because I have a few small diameter 8' red oak logs in the yard and a Timberjig (the absolute most basic chainsaw mill) on the way. If it turns out that I enjoy milling the very small stuff with the 562xp, I'm going to upgrade the mill and the saw. This would allow me to make use of all the large pines on my property and in the general area.
So let's brain storm, put forth our 5-6 cube suggestions and possibly find a project for this CAD struken AS member. I'd prefer something with anti-vibe & decent parts availability. I'm capable and more than willing to take on just about any project. Who knows, this (again) might convince me to sell the 562xp! But not likely :cool2:

I picked up a Jonsered 830 but sold it when I found it was ONLY 4.9cubes Just kidding.. A newer, larger saw popped up so I sold it and another.
Here's what I ended up with and have used all week... Husqvarna 394xp.
It's been fun pulling 72JGX and RS (full comp) on my 28"er. I would consider it a smooth operating saw. The oiler lays it on with this relatively short bar. I now need a 32, 36 & 42 bar, dual dogs and a full wrap :hmm3grin2orange:
Good choice of saw, I run a Dolmar 9010 on mine but am working on a 088 for a 4' carriage mill and I can tell you that 90cc+ is the way to go. Keep milling, it will pay for itself.
I agree with Jim nice saw choice. I have a 395 and love it..
Thank you Gents...
Jim, are you going to leave the 088 stock?
Have you ever tried that 2095 on the mill? As I understand that is what that saw was originally designed for?
