I think its time to upgrade from my ~10 yr old Husky 51 to a new firewood saw.
I cut about 8-10 cord of mixed hardwood of various diameters. From 3" to 30". With most in the 8-20" range.
Im trying to decide between waiting another month for the 550xp (which is pretty much the same size as my 51 albeit an XP saw) for $699, Buying a 346xp for ~$750 or moving up to a larger saw a 562xp for $815.
So far Ive looked at the 346 and 562 and really like the feel and balance of both. But I figure for like $50 it might be worth it to go to the bigger 562.
Is it worth it to wait and see the 550?
Is the 562 a good firewood saw? Too large?
Anybody run all 3? Comparisons?
Im looking for a "do all" saw. Little more horsepower than what Im running and a longer bar to save a bit on stooping down so much.
