I applaud Husky on keeping a focus on the weight/power ratio, but in real world ever day use, I don't see Rev Boost being a big deal, either the saws got enough juice or it doesn't. The need for it being "beneficial" while limbing doesn't hold water with me either. I do a lot of my limbing at well below wot, no need to wind them up /burn the fuel when knocking off limbs less than a couple of inches. It is a nice marketing tool.
if a saw is already running at optimal rpm, say a 346xp turning 13,8-14k, the only way your going to kick it up to 16k for 20 seconds immediately is to create a momentary lean condition, maybe there is another way, I'm far from a mechanical engineer, but someone needs to start a post on how it really does work. I'm hoping these saws are winners, the 543? really intrigues me. The 555 after looking at it's specs really doesn't improve much at all on the Efco 156 saws, the only improvement is a little weight, and I suspect the extra weight in the 156 is a result of a more substantial casing around their filter set ups.
It is going to be interesting to see how these hold up in the real world. Even when compared against there own, 359/357 the saws had to lose weight from somewhere, I'll hold judgement until I get one in my grubby little mits. Has anyone noticed Baileys has the wrong photos linked to the 555/562 they have then switched and I believe they have the same specs posted for at least a couple of the models, they are specing both at 4.2hp. Dealers need to be thankful they got these saws off the drawing board before the big stock decline happened, that could have impacted rollout/investments in tooling etc. I've really got to get out and find a decent Husky dealer, stopped in the local dealer this afternoon and the guy had never heard of the 555/562, they are an equally bad Stihl dealer as well, they don't discriminate.lol
