I'm going to buy my first Pro saw before fall. I thought at first a 70cc saw to compliment my Jonsered 2255 (455 Rancher) but now I am leaning towards the 562 xp or xpg if I can find one. Less expensive, less weight. I would like to run a 24 inch bar occasionally.
The 2255 is a 55cc saw but as you all know there is a significant jump in HP in the pro saws so my thinking is the 562 would be a nice step up. The Jonsered has performed for me great, Farm/Ranch saws don't get much love here, but mine has been a great saw for what I do. That said when I happen across bigger stuff which seems to be pretty regularly , the wood people usually pass up I feel like I am asking a bit much of my red friend. Any thoughts about the 562xp would be great. Thank you in advance.
