Greetings forum members. I am a long time lurker first time poster. I have decided to pull the trigger on a chainsaw. I am a homeowner and have a few trees to take down and some clearing to do on my property. Nothing that couldint be accomplished with a basic 35cc chainsaw. But my modo is buy right or buy twice. I purchase the best tools I can afford, this strategy has served me well. I often end up on a bigger project down the road and am happy to have the right tool in my arsenal. Now I am in the market for a chainsaw. My search for the best tool for me. Has brought me to the conclusion that I would like to own a Husqvarna 562xp. Yes this is way more saw then I will need for my basic homeowner projects. I figure it would also make a great firewood scavenging saw and that is something I could see myself getting into between fishing/hunting seasons. I like to call those the Tweener months in the Pacific Northwest. Did I mention I live in Portland OR. So any members who might be interested in sharing firewood scavenging spots feel free to contact me. I was looking at some areas around Tillamook Forest. I am familiar with that area as I fish the Wilson R. Often. So in summary I am looking for advice on my purchase of a Husqvarna 562xp. Any tips on dealers and good pricing? I would also appreciate any input on good places to scavenge firewood with a forestry permit or BLM/state permit. I am open to areas as far south as Sisters and as far North as Olympic peninsula.
