    362 CM with a 20" bar will handle 95% of the wood out there. My back won't handle the other 5%.

    I can vouch for this. The 362C definitely has more grunt, especially when you lean on it some.

    That was a nasty saw!! It impressed me enough to have mine ported.

    I have 9 feet of Cant left. I would like to do a comparison of his 562 (ported 59 cc) against my 362 (ported 59 cc).

    I think he lives out my way? Not sure though.

    The 60 cc class is light enough to carry all day, yet still has the power to run a bigger bar. My BIL has ran a 28" Power Match on his 562xp. It's oiler is probably inadequate for the 28", but as long as he let the saw do the work? It ran fine. (This is only for the occasional job, but he knows now that it can do it).

    Not good.....my 372 bars would mount right up!

    How's the oiler on it? Will it oil a 28" bar for occasional use?

    Something with about 7hp and under 15lbs (full of fluids and with 18" bar and chain)

    I've never really thought a 70cc saw to be "big" other than they are getting up there in weight.

    Also I don't "get" the need to have dozens of saws. One thing to collect older saws or rare stuff but I've seen a few guys with lineups that look like they are a Stihl dealer and they cut maybe 3-4 cords a year.

    A lot like guys that have multiple nice cars and drive them to a collective total of about 100 miles a year. Sometimes it's just for fun. ;)

    Nobody "needs" dozens of saws. Very few "need" more than 1. There are worse things to want and collect.

    I own 350+ saws and do not heat with wood. I see no problem with spending money on saws and do not feel I need to justify it to anyone.
