New family member

please give a warm welcome to the new member of the splitsnstacks family.

 

You mean the saw in the stihl box rite?

 

That would be a negative. It was between the 562 and the 362 the 562 won me over.

 

Very, very nice new member of the fam.! That's the kind of family you want to spend a LOT of time with.

 

Congrats! A friend of mine has the same saw and loves it!

 

I LOVE mine! It takes a few tanks for it to really come alive! Find some good big diameter hardwood to sink those teeth into and be ready to!!

 

Looks like you used it to open that 661 box!

 

That one is ported by redfin.

 

That's a lot of firewood!! Hahaha

 

That log is buried in that load somewhere. We cut it to 21' but the truck couldn't pick it so we had to cut it in half.

 

I kind of figured that log was not firewood ;-)

What's that other boom I see? Is it off a shovel or is it a loader?

 

Stationary landing loader

 

Quick update: holy moly!

 

I have a 562 and a 362. I prefer the 562; lighter, power seems better, but the handling of the 562 is where it shines. Sometimes I have some hot start issues, solid otherwise.

The 362 is the ground saw for my helpers when doing tree work. It gets the job done just fine and it has been dead reliable. I don't really like the two piece air filter and it's price to replace both.

 

Why not load it with that loader?

 

Tight landing and sometimes were not in the landing when the truck is there.

 

Is that a 20 ton truck or like 8 cords? What's it hold?

OUr trucks around here are all large 40to45ft trailers and a tractor. 10 cords or 27 tons. We don't cut hardwood like that here though.

 

It noodles big oak with ease. The anti vibe on it is incredible, smoothest saw I've ever run. This saw is so so fast. With the 20" bar it feels like a 70cc saw. I also bought a 28" for the few big ones I run into. Hopefully it pulls It nicely as well.
