    honestly this doesn't take long to block with sharp RS chain. really doesn't work the saw hard imo either, it's a good 26" red oak, not very dry yet though... 1027141009.jpg

    Sunfish, I know you like the 346xp's..and for good reason. If a guy was looking for a great firewood saw in a husky/jonsered make, would you rather have a 555 or 562xp? Price has equal weight as other considerations. No bars over 20" needed in this case.

    That 290 is good looking! The head is short and stocky looking!

    Rather have the 555. I like the 562xp, but like the small mount bar better & the no silver paint on the 555. Power is very close
