Well chuffed with my new saw

[Cowmop]

Hi,

I am not a pro, just a guy cutting a bit of fire wood at home.

Been using MS230 for 13 years and brought this Husky 550 XPG the other week.

My circulation in my hands is very poor so I suffer in the wet or cold, the grips on this are amazing if not a bit too warm.

Absolutely made up with what for me was a major purchase.

Glad for you .Is it the Mk 2 ? don't expect that" techlite " bar to last very long ( if indeed it is one ) they do tend to de laminate . Better with a Sugihara or similar .

X-force not Techlite, don't know if that is just remarketing or if they are genuinely reengineered and better.

[Cowmop]

Yep "X Force"

That’s a nice saw indeed. I recently got the larger 572. As has been said. Sugi bars are a lot better.

I just retired our MS230 too.

Best 50cc saw on the market, bar none.

@Cowmop those heaters will make all the difference for you. Used mine full time in sleet and snow and can't beat it ? K
