Type it into the search part of arbtalk mate, there are quite a few threads on them. I won't give you my opinion yet.

Got one and it is a stonker of a saw ! best on 15" - 18" . Absolutely love it .

I have heard that Husqi had a few teething problems with it when they first released it do you know if they have sorted these now ?

Yep . Sorted . Mine had as follows new carb and remapped the electricery stuff . There was also a new coil ( to aid hot starting ) and a modified starter pull mech . I think the dodgy ones were all 2012 saws . ( 2012 in the serial plate that is ) 2013 onwards should be all up to date . The thing to remember is ignition is always ON . When starting from hot don't touch the red lever . One pump of primer and de comp in and pull . ( de comp pops out just from compression so I push it in every time I pull it over even if it does not fire. This lessons the strain on the starter pull ) You must set the auto tune as per the book . Do read it ! It is the best 60cc I have used and I am 60 years old !

Great saw!! I'm so impressed with mine.i replaced my husky 365with it and weight diff when climbing was a massive bonus.same power more tech less weight.its my fav saw right now.

what do you want to use it for and what size bar do you want to use. if its just general logging then the 550xp is a cracking saw 50cc and that will do most things and its lighter than the 560. if you want a bigger saw then look at the372. i have the 576xp but the 372 is a better saw.
