Superb power to weight.The 550xp is light and with the right, sprocket, bar and chain set up, it will cut a lot bigger than a 50cc saw is expected. Once they figured out those leaky transfer port covers they quit lean seizing and just killed it. In bigger hard woods you need to finess your cuts but a 20" bar will do almost anything except stumping if you take your time. It will not buck like a big boy but the power of a big saw covers up a lot of cutting mistakes. The 550cp is a great, high quality learner's saw, and in the hands of an expert can do almost anything and not kick your butt with fatigue.

This is a very good saw that compares favorably with the Stihl 241, although the Stihl is worth the premium and will outperform the Husy 550XP. The Jonsered 2253 is the same saw as the 550XP and retails a bit less expensive. I have never had a problem of hard starting when the saw is hot or in hot weather and own many saws that are in use constantly in forest management applications. I wish people would read the manual and use some common small engine sense before they wrote reviews , or at least had wide comparative experience with several comparable saw made by other manufacturers. I own saws made by Stihl, Echo, Jonsered, Husky and Dolmar. The Husky 500XP is very good saw that willl serve well for most owners over a long period of time. It is a very good, light, high torque, high rev saw that will handle jobs that require and 18 to 14 inch bar without bogging down with the 18 inch bar/chain or revving too high with smaller bars and chains. My only complaint is that the bar oiler really spits a lot of oil even when turned down. But lI would rather have this than a saw that oiler that doesn't supply enough and lresullt in burned out bars and chains.Read full review
