    Not a fan of J-red. Had a new 2253 and never started it.

    As for the 562? I have small mount bars already, no large mount. This PHO is much cheaper than a 261C. Much cheaper.

    And Its 60 cc... Never kept any 50 cc saw for to long. ;)

    I wish we ran the 362C side by side. I never got any times on my 362.

    I will however be doing a 60 cc shootout video soon. I have 9 ft of that 12" Cant left and will have a 6400, 555, and 362C to compare against.

    Would be real interesting to put it up against your brother's (in-law?) 562XP.....

    How did we not get times on your 362? :eek: :headbang:

    I have had my 555 for a month now and love it ! I have run about a gallon and 1/2 through it so far. The last tank full it really seemed to be waking up and was really running awesome . :thumbs:

    Good luck with it and welcome !

    I can get it, and the 555, and the 6400, AND the 362C all in the same Cant.

    Although it's drying more everyday, the times of that day will be equal on those saws.

    Every day it will get harder and dryer..

    Nice Avatar ;)

    I still have them all from the camera, but when we tried to put them on the PC, the computer didn't like something about the format (only downloaded about 10 photos) of the little SD card.

    When I put them on my phone, it jumbled them in whatever order it wanted to put them in.

    So in order to post them up, I would have to look at the original pic, them use my phone to find the number, and post it up.

    I never planned on posting them all up, but if someone wanted a certain saw, I could go back and look through the time.

    (Because some runs were so fast, if the person didn't wait for my wife to take a pic of the time, and then reset the stopwatch? Then they may only have 1 recorded time. Rather than multiple times. )

    Hey WVHunter, I got my 555 today. I just want to not only apologize again, but also congratulate you. I think this is a far better saw. I think we will both be very happy with them!!

    I know it's on a Stihl box with a Stihl sign on it, but I asked the box if it was o.k. 1st :) It said that was one of the few Orange saws that were allowed to sit on it for a pic ;)
