Good stihl saw for cutting 5 cords/year

I have one, it’s a screamer. XP I think. I bought it to replace a 260 . I mainly use it in tree removal so it doesn’t really see hard labor but it’s currently at my bricklayer nephews house so that should put it to a real test ha ha

XS is way different than an XP. Lol

Oh, I’ll text my nephew when it’s a bit later and see for sure. I really have a hard time keeping up with all the new model #’s. I just ask a trusted saw mechanic what to buy and it usually works out. I guess the saw is a couple years old now, no real complaints other than the weird bar nuts that are stuck to the side plate

XS means it was ported by Kevin LeVanway.

Have you had any run time on that XS 346?
That’s one of the most impressive 50cc saws you’ll likely ever come across.

It ran for two tanks of fuel and then suddenly stopped. I felled about a dozen trees and it was awesome with a 16" Tsumura bar and a sharp chain.

Good grief, it’s a 562xp. Sorry, I thought it was smaller. I have a short bar on it for tree work. My nephew hasn’t destroyed it yet so it must be a tough saw
