Good point. I just pulled a screen grab from the web and probably should have taken the time to verify all the info, my bad. Agreed, anything 555 related would need to be small mount.

Below is some info from Stihl's website. I am also running a 3/8 pitch, .050" gauge and 72 DL. OILOMATIC® STIHL RAPID™ Super (RS) Specifications SAW CHAIN GAUGE 0.050" .325" Pitch - Part #3637 3/8" Pitch - Part #3623 SAW CHAIN GAUGE 0.058" .325" Pitch - Part #3638 3/8" Pitch - Part #3622...

I run a 20" Oregon powermatch with Stihl RS yellow chain on my 555 for the last 6 months and I have had zero complaints with either the bar/chain. Saw pulls that setup well through hardwood and balance is good. I have REALLY been impressed with that RS chain too. Ill try and throw a pic or...

This fall got talked into helping a buddies neighbor with a few small trees. Both are relative novices and so I tried to use that opportunity to show them how to notch and cut a tree, and also what to look for and what safety measures to take. So I get long winded after the notch and starting...

FWIW Buckin Billy Ray just posted a video of him running an echo 620 that has been ported. Wearing a 28" bar and seemed to be running great through some decent sized wood.

I have had a 372 in my sights a few times...and even had contacted some folks on here with them up for sale in the trading post BUT that would require me to sell my 555 to fund it and for the life of me I can't get up the nerve to put it on the selling block.

Thanks for the concern. It did clear up and have had a few weekends with the saw going and no flareups.

I recently had tinnitus that flared up from a weekend of woodcutting for a family member this fall. Never had it before in my life...as a result of the fluid build up there was a constant high pitched ringing in my ear for over a month. Went to the doc and everything...it just had to run its...

If time and money are a non-factor then getting the correct size bar/displacement for each application is the safest play. Experience and comfortability level are also important factors that impact the decision. I personally think that in felling that I would feel most comfortable with a bar...

What did you end up getting?? If you haven't already done so it's not a bad idea to take a stroll through the trading post before you head out with your credit card.

Stepped on a rake one time in the dark. Was early morning before the sun came up, I had been up late the night before chasing the moon and I was late getting to work at the golf course (I was still in high school at the time). I was in the garage trying to get to my car......I thought someone...

husky 555 is what I use for a similar type of workload you are describing. It will handle a 20" bar and I got a good deal on mine. Took it woodcutting at my family's farm last weekend. Went with 7 other guys. An old 028, a few newer 029s, a 271, and some smaller stihls and my 555 ran the...

Not much you can't handle with that.....and currently yes I do have wood, literally and figuratively.

I owned a 440 some years ago, and while it was a nice performer for me it a smaller saw than the 034. The 440 I would consider a light duty saw that would do well with a 16 inch bar at most while the 034 is gonna give you the ability to run a longer bar and have more power. Depends on what...

NICE!

Interested to know myself. I have a 555 and have thought about buying another muffler to mess around with and try and mod at my own pace. If my memory serves me correctly Brad Snelling has videos on his youtube channel with a 555 or 562 before and after a muffler mod (and maybe also some port...

I have a 555 and it has a decomp on it. Ive never used it. Call me paranoid, but I am worried it will stick and then cause problems (I have inquired about deleting it and will some day). I can get the saw going without it, and honestly for most I don't think it is necessary. All things being...

I had one, and for the life of me I couldn't get it to work. I agree the different raker heights on the guide was great....just could never get the darn thing to work for me. Got an Oregon file guide and a raker gauge and have been happy with the results since. Whatever keeps your chain sharp...
