    My 562xpg is now officially a west coast saw; sporting a full wrap handle, double felling dogs, 28" guide bar and a square ground full skip chain. Spent the weekend felling firs on my property for log cabin build this summer.

    We own and operate a small tree service, so those all get worked regularly, depending on job size. The 562xp saws get picked up a lot. Nasty little saw with a 20” bar. My choice for a saw in the tree, after wood is too big for the 200/201s.

    After reading reviews on the largest bar I could run on a 562xpgw, the consensus being 28" is to big. I threw caution to the wind and today proved a a 60cc Husqvarna has plenty of power to chew through a 32" Douglas Fir with a 28" bar.

    Those look like a new style gas / oil cap. Can you confirm?

    They are the standard cap design and have been on all new Stihls for the last 10+ years. Can't say that I love them but as long as you keep them clean, they work ok..

    I hope you keep a thread going of your build. Wish I was closer, I'd volunteer some time to help. Sounds like a fun project!
