Obviously I don't know what I'm doing with my Samsung tablet, but there's the pix, 562 up front followed by pro mac 610 and my echo 360t. It's amazing how much lighter 2 lbs makes the 562 feel compared to the 610.
Dumb not to get the 562XP right?

Thanks, but I still haven't fired it up! It's tough being patient but I decided to use B&C oil on the new saw and have to buy some, even though I ran 10w30 on the mac for 34 years with no issues. Also bought some 50/1 true fuel (husky brand) as someone suggested. Either I'm getting smarter in my old age or richer.
Very pretty! And a nice line up as well.

Lowes has husky oil if dealer closed Sunday. One of the few saw things I get from box store since only a mile or two away and identical to what dealer carries.

She's a beauty! My 562 induced a case of CAD for me, and I've bought and sold quite a few saws in the last year because of it. The 562 is still my favorite saw to run. It's got a new sticker on top now and I'm dying to put it to use.

Followed recommended break in, noodling and cookies at WOT for about 5 minutes. First impressions, started easy, 3 pulls following procedure in manual. Waited about 10 mimes after noodling and it started first pull. Dropped small oak and sectioned it for next year's firewood. OK, this saw is OVERKILL for a home owner, but I love it!!

Wow, a year has passed already. Anyway here's an update. I cut 4 dead or dying hickory and 3 oak tree's since I purchased the 562XP and I have nothing but praise for this thing. I can't believe how much faster it cuts compared to my old mac 610. A little pricey for a homeowner saw and maybe overkill for my needs but just an outstanding brute of a saw.
