Thoughts on Husqvarna 555 for Firewood and Farm

[NHED]

Hey guys...

Been in the hunt for a saw and have been looking at the Husqvarna 555. How is it going to compair to the 562 for REAL WORLD application...I would be using it for a Max of 10 cord a year and around the farm use. Thanks in advance.

you'd never notice a difference unless you do a side by side comparison.

You can never go wrong with the Triple Nickel.

Versus the 562 in the real world..........
maximum 24" bar length should you feel so inclined
less hp, but unless you cut wood with a stop watch you won't notice
none of the crappy vanishing grey paint!
costs less

10 cords a year, the triple nickle will do you just fine. 60cc and plenty of power. They get good reviews.

Small bar mount on the 555 instead of large on the 562. The 555 is Slightly lighter.

If your on a budget think about the echo 590. For at least one to two bills less and after a muffler mod surely more than enough for farm use. Powerwise same class as your 360. Andyshine77 has quite a bit of experience with this saw and speaks very high of it. That is enough recomendation for me.

If you want the 555 it is an excellent saw that will serve you very well.

I looked at the 555 when I was looking for a new saw. I got the 590. It is starting to break in and feels like it is pulling more and more every tank.
