from what I'm reading I think it would be the perfect saw for me. I'm looking for a second saw for my 7900.They run well stock unlike many new saws. Five series Huskies are class leaders which ever one you get IMO. Not perfect, no saw is but as far as new 50cc pro saws the 550xp is a tough one to beat. It just behaves and does what a 50cc saw should. I cringe a little writing this as l am far from a husky cheerleader. Credit where credits due I suppose. Congrats on new saw l am sure you will like it.
i got a 550xpg from him for $550 to my door. Heat is sweet.
Thanks
My 2260 came with the black mesh filter. I got the flocked ones now....or get the "yellow" mesh filter to get enough air in, black to get more - constant dilemma...
I like a 18" bar on a 50cc saw as well.
They switched to the mesh filter. I got the 18 in bar .325 which means buying more chains. Is the lpx good?
Then with a 550xp and a 7900 you would have two models that exceed the pack in their respective class. The 7900 cuts like a 90cc saw if not better with the weight of a good pro 70cc saw. While l own both these saws and one or two more, l could not think of a more versitile performance 2 saw plan. Both saws are VERY respectable stock!! Buying whats best is the key no matter what color it is. No brand is king of all classes, the trick is working out who does what best, & l think that is what your doing.
