Thanks for the video. Did you get to run it?

 

[timber_horse]

No I wasn't there, it was for pro's and some invited members from the Swedish forum.
The guy's who did liked it and in short word compared it to the 346 with a lot of improvements

I like it ! Sawtroll , Would you be so kind to give us a report of your findings. I want one!

Supposedly it lost 0.1 kg

I'll believe it when I see it though (on the fish scale!! )

Also they have moved the oil cap up so that the handle is not in the way when you go to refill it.

The guys on the swedish thread are more preoccupied with some sort of lightweight forest vest than they are with the saw though.

You guys see that video, that is why I want a 555 ever since spike let me run one. I wish my wife would surprise me on my birthday with a brand new orange saw!!!

I stopped by the Husky shop today and they had a 555 on the shelf. For some reason they are putting 3/8" chains on the saws. I wonder if it is some sort of Aussie marketing idea.

The 555 is a 60cc saw, so why is that odd?

 

[Terry Syd]

I thought the 555 and 560 came with small mounts for .325 bar and chains. I suppose that marketing requirements in various countries can alter the configurations.

Yep, they come with .325 here, but I had 560xpg changed my to 3/8 at the spot. They recommend both options in the manual. :msp_smile:

My dealer has 3/8" 20" bar on 555s' here.

That is me cutting disc's.

This is first time this happens. It is far more important than the model or brand itself.

Sure, but the perception of suitable cutting attachments vary a lot between users and markets.
I am somewhere inbetween, I feel - and a total misfit anywhere, as I like 16" 3/8 on a 60cc saw! :msp_biggrin:
