    I'd look for an 8 tooth driver for more chain speed. That saw should have lots of torque. The one I ran was an absolute monster on a mill, just slow.

    Electronics are the biggest problem on these saws. They came with 2 types. the Bosch and SEM. Parts are out there but getting harder to find. Other than a shorter bar I would just run it.

    ...until you get the mods done.

    Then you can't imagine running a stock saw.:handshake:

    056 Mag is a beast. I have owned a couple of them. Heavy? Yes they are. Will pull a 36 inch bar in Douglas fir no problem. Torque monster saw that's at its best when it's being held up by a big tree that your bucking. Packing it up a steep hill is a chore.
