    Husqvarna 550

    I just bought one the non chesil chain was very aggressive.. I ran a lot of chain about nothing compares . That saw revs so fast with a ton of power. My last new saw was a Husqvarna 51 . I really do not think II should replace it . Still ran like new. Hands way better than 51
