I ran Mikes and I'm still flabbergasted how they run,even with big fast saws in the same log it's not way behind.

Truly a remarkable saw and a remarkable builder,have Alan build you one guys,I'm going to.

30"! Nice @awol

I think both the 550 & 562xp's are the best saws in their class, modified well they are just better. Only thing I'd like to see is a better air filter setup and a factory option for double dawgs and get rid of the grey clutch cover like I did by putting a 555 one on instead.

The 562 has the dual spike kits. I'm waiting on the wrap handle and I'm going to get a set of spikes from Metals406.

Ya it does but that single 550 spike is a little poor to say the least, sounds like you'd have a nicely setup 562 Mike. I got a custom 550 spike from a member but metals406 does em best. Everything he touches turns to gold!

The 562 I bought had the large spikes and the roller chain catcher. After taking the stock chain catcher off that was also on it, it noodles pretty good.

Would it be overkill to only run a 562 with a 16" 3/8 bar all the time?

Sent from my non internal combustion device.
Not in my opinion. Mine wears a 18".

If this is what you want, than why not.

My 562 had a 18 inch bar before I had my MMWS 545.

My first saw was a husky 359 with a 16 inch bar and it did many, many cords of firewood.

How does the 545 compare to the 562?
