Max rpm - plentyWhat is the max rpm on a 550xp? And how does rev boost work? Does it Increase max rpm briefly?
We really do mate, the oe346 and the 562 are like the red headed step children now.I'm glad everyone is liking the 550xp[emoji2]
That'll work just fine. The most important thing is to make sure you have a sharp chain.I can get a pretty good deal on a husqvarna 555 , is 3/8 .58 18" bar too much for it to pull? Will it cut much faster than the 550 with that combination?
Good saw & yes it'll pull a 18 or 20" 3/8" just fine. Likely will cut faster than a 550xp, but only in larger wood.I can get a pretty good deal on a husqvarna 555 , is 3/8 .58 18" bar too much for it to pull? Will it cut much faster than the 550 with that combination?
Okay nice to know, I am also looking at dolmar because I have a nearby dolmar dealer, I know it was mentioned earlier in the thread that the dollars have a tendency of scoring pistons but, from what I have read they do just fine if tuned rich and run on 40.1 mix. I can get the dolmar at less than 545 money. It seems to be almost the equivalent of the 550xp but weights about a pound more. Seems like it would have more power than a 545 and 550 power with more weight? Auto tune is nice but a good price is hard to ignore.Good saw & yes it'll pull a 18 or 20" 3/8" just fine.

Dolmar 5101 is a good saw, but it is not only heavier but also larger than the 545/550.Okay nice to know, I am also looking at dolmar because I have a nearby dolmar dealer, I know it was mentioned earlier in the thread that the dollars have a tendency of scoring pistons but, from what I have read they do just fine if tuned rich and run on 40.1 mix.

I'm just looking at all the options for saws that I have.
Yeah I wouldn't put more than an 18" on a 50cc, I'd like whatever saw I'm getting to pull an 18" buried in oak or the hard maple we have around here. Not a lot of softwood around here.555 is a great saw. Can pull a 24"if needed occasionally. 550 would be a 20" max
I know saw troll is not going to like this lol but a echo cs500p seems like a nice saw for the $, magnesium crankcase, ect. Seems pretty light too.
