    I would guess by the photos 3 cord or so but that is a guess. Sounds like that 550 is a fine saw. Hope it keeps a smile on your face for many years.

    Wow, used the saw and posted pictures the same day you got it. That's nice. Looks like the saw will be a good tool for you.

    Mind you the logs are only cut at 10'. The bed on my F350 is only 9' long. I can put 5.5 face on it. I'm figuring there's about 2 loads there. But I could be wrong.

    Nice saw. I ran my friends for a few hours and I really liked it. I have a NE 346xp and always wanted a second so when this one dies I didn't have to go with an AT saw. After running my friends and all the good reviews I'm seeing I will have no problem getting a 550 when the time comes.
