[Joy Yeomans]

+1 as I've had loads of problems with mine now 2.5 yrs old, but I still like em for some freakish reason😀

I too am interested. My 560 goes well but does not get hammered .

We had a fleet of 560's were I used to work. And my one was hammered in thinning works for 2 years, few tinkering problems, mainly clutch springs and brake bands but they have since sorted it out. I have since bought my own 560xp.

560 is a big greedy saw for thinnings, that's where a 550 would've came into its own

Not sure there's enough orange in that photo.

I have a 346xp to but I tend to always pick up the 560xp.
