well it just seems a bit agricultural i rekon the husky will be smoother.i can live with tractor saws when there big but my hands just dont like the mid range sthils.......

 

I will hunt a husky to try at the weekend,i know where i can get my hands on a few...

the husky 555 is only a 560xp with no crank stuffers tbf, a lot like the 346 was, amongst the other older husky pro saws

SOrt of like the Porsche Cayman. It is a mid-engined car capable of having every bit of engine like the 911 turbo, and then handling better. But marketing makes sure it sticks right in the middle of the line for revenue. Thus we have the 555. A purposefully detuned 560 so that they can charge less for it even though it cost nearly the same to make. Purely so they have another market.

 

As a note, the 555 also has more restrictive transfers. Which is far more marketing than simply leaving out stuffers as it is simply another part redesigned to be less efficient.

Yes and no. On the ranger, open ports are cheaper and more easy to make, and more ubiquitous at that time. On the 555, they actually designed the transfers(which are removable) to be less efficient. It is a part that must be bolted on, so it didn't save any time, it was simply marketing.

The high performance cylinders are a specialist casting and are mostly made by Mahle (stihl use them also) the bolt on covers for the transfer ports are simpler casting and production costs are much lower and are made in house by husqvarna despite the extra production steps.

 

The old style open transfer ported cylinders such as on the rancher do not work with an x torque/air head/strato charge engine, its a simple work around to keep costs down on an engine which is not a full bananas pro saw eg 560 xp.
