    Results in this... yes its a 28" on an under powered saw swapped a skip chain on it for the rare times its called upon until the 572xp comes out.
    Light 20" is in the mail as well as a 2nd stock muffler which will receive some extra holes
    Actually had full intentions on buying a 365/372 but they didnt have any in stock and claimed they couldnt do 20% off on ordered saws.... but the 562 once again felt awesome and kept screamin at me

    Very nice saw! But that bar looks like it won't balance too well, and in my experience, a 562xp is a 20" bar saw.

    The one I ran had a 28" TechLite on it. It wasn't horrible, certainly something I wouldn't leave on there all the time but it held its own well enough that I was impressed.

    Great saw. It's begging for some wood.

    Working doubles last night and another double today = no firewood. Now it has rained turning everything to mush. Bad time to have a virgin saw in the garage

    There's a few west coasters running those with 32" skip in a production setting. Says he can cut as much with it in a day as his 372xpw. I need to give one a port job and try it with a 28".

    I run a 24 in full comp in oak and hickory without any problems on my 60cc saw. I think you will be fine with a 28 for occasional use.

    Congrats! Looks like it wears the bar well sitting there. It'll get you buy until you get a 7910. ;)
