Husqvarna 550 opinions please

So this saw has been out a couple years or so now. Looking for opinions from people who have had them that whole time. How are they holding up? Considering buying a saw in the 50cc range. I rarely use this size saw but I have a small felling job on next week which I don't fancy using the 461 on really. Also considering a 262 just because I generally prefer Stihl. Haven't ruled out an echo or Dolmar though.

Mines been great. No problems at all. Best for small to medium trees and superb for snedding. They got the power to weight ratio spot on.

Downside: Ringing up trunks ain't so fast as using slightly bigger saws.

 

Mine was fine starting in the hot weather last year and it'll be interesting to find out if it starts okay this summer. (some folk have had hot weather starting problems).

cheers, Steve

 

p.s... XPG version is definitely worth the extra £'s.

Nice saw in the hand it just feels right but there are known issues that can affect these saws , i personally owned one with the Hot start fault even with all the mods and software updates just would not start hot . fixed the problem with a bit of trial and error needle lever adjustment and after that it was a cracking saw . like anything you get good and bad ones .
