    So my girlfriend heard me complain about my Husqvarna 450 rancher not cutting fast enough on a log pile....and surprised me with this !
    The ultimate saw on my dream list...a new 2018 Husqvarna 562xp !!
    I've said it before....I'm a lucky fella !
    Now this wind and rain needs to go...got a saw to test ! So far...I can't stop smiling !!!
    Put the cool dual spikes on too :)

    That is a girl that loves her man getting wood....sorry, that was too difficult to resist.

    Awesome saw! Awesome relationship! Wish I could find a girl like that...must be looking in the wrong wood piles.

    Little did she know that the chain just needed sharpening.
    :whistle:

    :bug:

    She doesn't read the forum does she? I don't wanna be the one to "out" ya.
    :doh:

    Earlier this year my buddy brought over his MS260 Pro and I really liked the smoothness of the cut.

    Wife looked at me and said, "You need a new saw don't you?"

    I was all..
    :whistle::dex:

    A new saw is on the "wish" list, but I'll use the Poulan as long as I can.
    :yes:

    You are one lucky fella! That's a beauty of a saw. My first new saw purchase was a 450 years ago. After working it hard, I too found it wasn't the right tool for what I wanted to accomplish. Sold it to fund the purchase of a brandy new 357xp. Still my favorite saw to this day.

    Since no else has said it (You Suck).

    Hard to beat a brand spanking new 562xp or a wonderful woman who got it for you. As for the saw, I love mine, it hates all wood I've ever put it in.

    Hope the rain quits soon for you so you can give that beauty a run.

    Someones on to something...

    On a side note that saw will not disappoint! I also came up from a 450 rancher. The 20" narrow kerf wasn't to bad on anything under 15". The 562 has way more power with the bar buried in red oak. With a sharp chain I clean lean on it pretty good with little to no bog. It has far exceeded my expectations!

    Have fun with that awesome saw!
