Cheers. Was thinking something like that.

The muffler on this has 2 circles/holes on the front which on mine and most pictures have caps in, some pictures show these as open holes.. am I missing something obvious?

Don't worry, I always use the rider plate, still spank lots of stones, go through the blades quite quickly, I'm clearing overgrown forest trails covered in rushes, brambles etc and rescuing overgrown beech and oak that was being strangled by sallies, alder and brambles, so needing to switch from mulching rushes and brambles to cutting the sallies and alder.

Cheers Openspaceman, I know the difference in the guards, my issue is mainly that I can't see whether the metal saw guard that comes on the 555fx is removable from the gear head in any pictures and had been failing to find the info online. Think I've figured out that the metal guard is removable and I only need the plastic guard. Thank you for your detailed reply. I know the stihl well, have a 460 that's been in the shop for 3 months of the 12 I've owned it with engine problems and is in the shop atm. When it's hot, about half a tank in, the power just drops to uselessness. Hoping the huskie will be an improvement.

Good day guys, my first post here. I've just ordered a 555fx clearing saw from Sweden, I'm hoping to use it both with saw blades and mulching blades. Would anyone know which parts I would need to convert it for use with mulching blades? Is it just a guard? Or an entire gear head and guard that I'll need? If anyone knows the part numbers and where to order from in ireland or the uk, that would be amazing.
