550xp max bar size?

One other thing. I ordered an oregon chain but they sent out a stihl instead. Don't bother me as I like the stihl chains anyway. Not sure which one it is though.

Ok so I got the oregon pro lite bar and chain today and let it rip on the little 550xp. Got to say I'm impressed it pulls it well with a good sharpening. However, it is a bit nose heavy. I was a little surprised at the weight of the pro lite bar and expected it to be lighter but no biggy... Seems a well made bar. It is the max I'd go on this saw so glad I got the 18 instead of the 20" all in all my verdict is the 550 is able for the 18" bars for occasional use as is what I need it for...

 

Don't know if its been mentioned but the |Husqvarna " techlite " bars might make it less nose heavy on that length . weather it would last as long as the Oregon I don't know .....

Was looking for a techlite but didn't see them for sale with the small mount. All in all I'm happy with the pro lite. It's better made than I thought originally..

Only experience I have of them is my T540 came with a 14" as standard .

Yeah I seen the new top handles come with them. Pity they don't make em for the rest. Seems they only make them for the top handle and the bigger saws 20"+
