The 555 was ok but for 5cc more the Echo hauls the mail. I don't feel much "in the hand" weight and has a way better powerband (kinda the point of my consistent liking of Echo for the $)... also the Echo does great with a 27" bar, the performance drop on the 562XP was notable going from 20" to 24" so I couldn't see it getting beeter with a 27'28" bar. Again, all just my person thoughts/observations etc.

A great example of what you've been saying for quite some time now...published HP numbers don't mean ****, contrary to the crap that SawTurd and Haddick would have us believe.

only bad thing about 550 is you cant replace carb and coil unless you have the autotune program

These SawTurd and Haddick seems to be really mean! I hope they didn't make you cry too much!

Wait hold the presses!
Again if so many variables make it a mute point then no reason to disregard any other saw for someone else's uses.
Then why do you base so much of your agenda on hp rating and weight specs if they can not tell the full story. Then your drum has no head to beat.

Husky, Stihl, Dolmar and yes Echo make great saws. I personally think Husky and Dolmar fit my personal needs best, so that's what I choose to own. If echo fits the bill for some, more power to ya, but the only one I see throwing out opinion over facts and mixing in some un called for slurs are the echo fan boys. Oh yea just in case I offended anybody else I better add Shinis, macs, poulans, efco, etc to the list of great saws.
Seems to me the Stihl and Husky fan boys are the ones that get bent out of shape every time another good saw comes along. . So bad they have to make excuses when Echo saws cut right with Stihl and Husky best saws on quite a few vids. Steve

Troll, you are the one with the fantasy world.. I'll believe my eyes on what I see in vids plus what I experience in real life ACTUALLY running different makes of saws. Steve

That was my guess after reading a few of your posts.
One stupid post after another from you, Husky boy. Steve
