Got my brand new husq 550xp from mesupra (cheaper than anywhere else I could find) yesterday. Immediately took muffler off, removed spark screen and drilled a 3/8" hole next to the factory hole. Put spark screen back and and cut some wood. This is the first professional 50cc class saw I have owned.
It is awesome. The autotune runs great. Starts easily, idles like a champ and has impressive torque. The similar saw I have for comparison is my dad's husq 445. The 550xp is like that thing on steroids. In smaller wood, have to use part throttle. In 5 inch (or so) wood, if you do full throttle, it is hard to put enough pressure on it to keep the revs from going sky high. I am having to clear all these little trees to get to the live oak we are going to cut.
Saw is light, nimble and neat looking. I like how the cylinder is angled back toward the rear.
Awesome, awesome saw. I love it.
Now I need to get rid of my husq t435 and solo 633 and get a pro top handle and I'll be good to go. ..... For now.
