First saw question (Husky owners)

[samthornton1990]

I passed my cs30/31

 

I am now looking at buying my first saw, now I used a Stihl ms260 on my course but I had a go with a Husky (not sure on what model) but I remember it being similar to the 545 and the 555.

 

I am wanting to know if anyone can give me an opinion which one to go with?

 

From what I can gather the 555 has a quick release air filter and a bit more power.

 

Anyone help?

545 is the semi pro version of the 550xp, the 555 is the 560 equivalent, I have a 560, it's awesome!

550xp is a great saw so is the 560 + 576 , depends what you want to do and how much cash you want to pay .

Ah! I think that was the one I used (560) the name does ring a bell! I've got 2 discount vouchers for Husky PPE and Saws so I intend on using them wisely, it's an extra £30 for the 555 so would it be worth spending the extra?

 

As for use I am hoping to start volunteering/working soon so it'd be getting used quite frequently

If you are gonna be using it day in day out get an xp IMO .

Go 560, runs the same bars, but has more power, so you can go bigger if you need to!

Probably won't be day in day out but hopefully a fair bit! Cheers for the help guys! I will get down to the dealer this week and see what I can sort out!

Where is the discount for as rrp and actual retail price vary quite a lot.

[samthornton1990]

It's just a voucher that says Husky 25% of Chainsaws and then I have another one for PPE which is 30% off.

 

Says it for any dealer

I assume that's AFTER the usual discount most dealers give? 50% off is a good whack off a 560!
