2014 550 xpg

[mendiplogs]

Yes Jon.

Bit of a pain because all my other saws are 3/8, but it runs it well and I've got all the file kits anyway.

Didn't see the point of swapping out the bar and sprocket, although I'm sure Jonesie, Gustharts, Clarks, Skyland or Honeys (or other decent dealers) would supply it 3/8 equipped if you asked.

You're a big man Jon, I reckon a 560 would suit you better.

You wouldn't notice the extra weight, but the extra grunt might be worth having because I know you do a lot of hardwoods.

 

I think some early Huskies (2011?) had problems with the auto tune, but they seem to have nailed it now.

 

How these saws will cope when they are 5 years old is anybody's guess.

HI MARK your right mate:thumbup1: im going for a 560xp on a 16" 3/8 ROB D BAR:thumbup1: as it only going cost £75/90 more then a 550 and more thanks jon

Good choice. Drive it like you stole it Jon.

I juiced mine up, started it, then ploughed it into big timber for 10 minutes without coming off the revs.

 

I was sweating like a teetotaller in Somerset, but the autotune was SET!

 

I'm pretty sure you'll love the saw mate, let us know how you get on.

Hi hodge it is fast on a 15 " bar mate as there's chaps run 560xp on 15 " bar thanks Jon

I have a 2013 550 xpg which has replaced my 346xpg. Both sporting 13" sugi bars. I must admit i prefer the light ones.

 

Best saw i've ever had. Power of a 357 but in the body of a 346. With a 13" bar with the rev boost its a killer.

 

Unfortunately it's in the shop at the moment as it's not working. Up until this problem it's been flawless.
