2014 550 xpg

[SteveA]

Been using my 550xpg today - has been starting on first or second pull. Very happy with it and glad I didn't get the 560xpg (which was a serious consideration). Cheers, Steve

All still going well mate?

What do I need? a 550 or 560. I want to run a 15"bar to cut up smallish logs. I have a sthil 461 and 660 for larger stuff. Never had a husky before so cant make up my mind

550, great power to weight!

[Countryboy]

Is there much difference between the 550 and the 560? other than the power?

550's physically a bit smaller and more flickable.

550 with a 13" bar is a super flickable snedding machine. Good acceleration light weight and great balance.

 

560 with an 18" bar is great for felling and bucking larger timber. Personally i find it a little heavy and not as much fun as a 550.

 

 

In reality if you have one you want the other. when you do have have both your happy.....until you need a 576.......

Hi Jon... I have a 560 on an 18" bar and it's excellent. Standard husky bar so a lightweight should be even better..

Thanks. Timon
