Husqvarna 550xp Reviews & Feedback
Here’s a couple of mixed opinions from professional tree surgeons in the 23,000+ Husquarvana Facebook Group“550xp mark 1 and mark 2 are both good saws, I own several marks 1 and one mark 2. The mark 2 definitely has more torque when blocking and felling I find.” Alex R“I have the mark 1 & as long as you start it by the manual when warm & cold, 0 issues. Great saw, had for 4 years. I had a few issues when warm at first. Until someone pointed out to look at the manual. Perfect since.” – Joe D
“Great saw don’t leave it in the sun unless it’s running. Iv had one for a few years beat the shit out of it and she still keeps on firing up”“Stay away from the first series of the 550xp had 2 of them both lasted less than 10 tanks of fuel before burning out the piston. We’re very hard to start when hot, had very bad air cleaner to carb seal had to use a light coat of grease around the opening to keep the fine dust out off the carb. Computer issues.
Gave up on them upgraded to a Stihl MS261 non-computer carb saw and been very happy with it. Same power and weight as the 550 but it starts and runs with issues.” Skip RToday there are many chainsaws available on the market designed for different tasks. The Husqvarna 550xp Mark II just one of the main popular chainsaws available. While we have covered a couple of useful points above, the Husqvarna 550xp also offers more advanced features in comparison to other models.”
