Picked up the new saw today

[svk]

Took a ride down to Kingston today with my wife and daughter. Had some great sushi then headed over to @spike60 's shop to pick up my new saw. Bob has some amazing Husky and Johnny saws in his personal fleet that would make any swede saw fan drool. Had a great visit and finally got to lay my hands on my new saw.

The "pretty" bar I ordered wasn't in yet before I left on my trip so I'll be running the bargain bar out here tomorrow and testing out the Rotary brand chain I scrounged up.

Congrats on the new saw! I drool over my buddy's 562 but haven't ran it yet. Bob has treated me right as well. If I need one reliable do it all saw the 346 I bought from him is the one to take. Ran great outta the box and still does years later! Have fun and post pics when getting it dirty!

if I didn't know any better I would think you took those pics in my house...8" SYP floors... how you like them?

The 562 will work well with your 550 and 2186. Very good 3 saw combo.

ahh...wouldn't be surprised if they came from the same mill/supplier

 

[moondoggie]

Congratulations!

 

[cigmaker]

Congratulations!! I've don't know anyone including myself who has a saw newer than 2002. Watching videos of these new at/mt saws sure makes me wanna try one out.

 

[JudoChop]

Awesome, love my 562. Now I need to follow in your footsteps and get me a 550xp for the chainsaw collection!

Thank you Steve for picking up my new saw...now the remaining instructions are easy to follow; "Put my saws down and walk out of the cabin with your hands in the air."

Nice saw...looks sweet.

Congratulations. You going to love that saw. I have one and I know. For the size, no saw can't stay close to the 562XP.
I like all my Stihl saw but the 562XP is unique in his way.

I have the same set up! Bar and all.......have you had any issues with the woodland pro bar?

 

[amberg]

Sweet saw, how do you like that bar? I have got two for my 576 xp and so far I like them.

 

[svk]

So far so good with the bar. Seems to be holding up better than the Oregon pro lite I bought last spring.

 

[Guswhit]

Wait a minute. I know I get confused easily, especially following you around in ALL of these threads, but you go to New York, you're doing a charity cut and you get to buy a new saw? You have to slow down and give a class here so dummies like me can try the excuse you used on our wives.
