I got my new chainsaws about 2 months ago. I am just now getting around to posting some pics.

I bought two new Husqvarna saws, a 550XP and a 395XP. The second to the smallest and the second to the biggest. I figured this was a good spread between both ends of the heavy and powerful and light and agile spectrum. In addition to the saws, I bought a Husqvarna professional safety kit, wedges, chain sharper, grease gun thing for the bar end, an extra air filter for each saw. As for bars and chains, the 395 came with a nice Husky 36” bar and the 550 came with a lower quality 18” bar. I bought a 24” Laser Ultra for the 395 and an 18” Laser Pro bar for the 550. I have 10 chains, three 36”, three 24”, and four 18” all in the correct gauge and pitch to match the saws.

I have about $2000 invested in my chainsaw hobby. I had nothing to cut would before this purchase. I had a stupid Craftsman saw before, but that doesn’t count. As you can see, the road crew in front of my house was nice enough to pull 9 large logs into my yard so I can practice using a chainsaw. I have a lot to learn!

Well done, that's a nice pair! I have a very similar story to yours, I went all in as well, I bought the other orange saws though lol.
 
Thanks for the comments. Based on my aggravating experience with the Craftsman saw, I wanted something that would cut all day long and could cut anything short of a California redwood. That is why I bought the 395. I wanted something that could cut and not be too stressed. My experience is that when you run something close to the edge of its abilty, it tends to be unreliable. I bought the 550 because the I need something to cut up the smaller trees and brush on my property and the 395 is just too big and heavy to be using on small stuff.

Is this good fuel and bar oil for the new saws? I wanted to go with the Husqvarna fuel and add a little extra oil. But there is really no true authorized Husqvarna dealer in my area so I don't have access to Husky dealer consumable supplies. I can get the Husky premix fuel at Lowes, but I am not sure if the Husqvarna synthetic blend 2-cycle oil that Lowes carries is the same stuff Husky advertises on their website called XP+? So I just went with the Trufuel at 40:1 along with a gallon of Husky bar oil and just be done with it. I will never use these saws enough that $20 a gallon is going to be too expensive. I think the cost of premix non-ethanol fuel is worth it because I do want these saws to last the rest of my life. And I don't mean to start or continue a debate about 40:1 vs 50:1. I know that Husqvarna mandates the use of 50:1, but a little extra oil makes me feel better

I wish had a good friend that was a chainsaw enthusiast to help me get these saws started for the first time. The 550XP is the AutoTune so I am not too worried about it, but the 395 has the old fashioned H/L adjustment. I have never tuned a chainsaw before and I hate to learn on a new one. Do I need to start messing with the adjustment or can I just leave it alone?

Brad from Snellerized performance worksaws is close by, but last time I heard he has taken a break from working on saws. Any one located near Cincinnati, Ohio? I could take the saws to the local Stihl dealer and have them start the saws for the first time and adjust the mix on the 395, but I am afraid they would spit in the gas tank if I brought in the wrong shade of orange. I bought these saws mail order from a dealer in Massachusetts. Therefore I can’t go to the dealer I bought them from for help
 
Do you know the sound of a saw 4 stroking as it is lifted out of the cut? Brad has posted a few videos of that. I always start fat (4 stroking) and adjust to tune, but the factory set on your 395 should get you going. Do you have a tach? Enjoy your saws.
 
Lube just the tip with grease

Now put a stihl light weight 32" on the 395

Friends dont let friends waste money on tachs
 
I thought that this thread was gonna turn into a joke about never using a big saw or having a lot of experience.....but it true!!??
And you went out and dropped $2000 on two very nice saws to learn on?! [emoji38] either you have a ton of money to piss away or the CAD fairy bit you while you were sleeping. Thats like giving a kid who just got his learners permit a monster truck and a Porsche!!
Run them carefully, break them in properly, DO NOT touch the carb on the 395. Watch some proper saw operation videos. Run 40:1 for sure. Stay safe and if you have the itch to drop more cash, do it with dealers on this site and you'll not only save money but always have at least some connection to the dealer after you pay this time. Wow, I'm speachless[emoji53]

Then why buy them??? Should of went to the same Lowes and just got a 455 rancher with a 20" bar.

PS your gonna need more bar oil.
I like the Poulan brand at Walmart better then the Husky oil in warmer weather but the Husky may be a little better in the colder months for ya, seams thinner to me.
 
The bad news is.....once you really get into wood cut'n you'll likely get more saws, not that you'll need them....you just will.

I have a saw for Oak, a saw for Hickory, a saw for Maple etc. Lol

Great saws by the way.

If you cut a lot of wood the canned fuel will require you to take out a mortgage Most brands of Synthetic oil with a Jaso FC/FD rating is fine the usual mix ratio for modern kit is 50/1 but personally I use 32or40/1 most bar oil is OK as it's a once around & fling it off Modern Husky saws tend to be a bit "stingey" oil wise on longer bars if you are doing long cuts keep an eye on it if your saws don't have the self adjusting carbs make sure they are in proper tune as the EPA regs in the US are Bu**ers for have saws set lean If you have any in your area try to run non E fuel keep your saw clean /chain sharp & Run it like you stole it "Enjoy"
 
I wouldn’t want to mess with the tune on the 395 either if I was you. I have no issue playing with my el-cheapo craftsman, but not a 1000$ saw. I’ve never messed with carb settings on husqvarna, but you may need a special screw driver to do it. I know with craftsman you need a pac-man screw driver. That being said, you should get a saw shop to tune it. Our 390 at work was tuned by dealer and we’ve never had to touch the settings, so once you get it right it should be good to go. 550 is a great saw. I love auto-tune, fire it up and start sawing with no worries.

I would find someone that knows what they're doing to tune it, don't trust just any saw shop. I took my 026 to a dealer to have him sharpen the chain after really dulling it cutting frozen wood. Afterwards he decided to "tune it up" for me. I actually watched him lean out the H screw so it would rev higher. Later took my 440 i had just got cause it wasn't running right, says prob needs fresh gas and needs running. Took it to another dealer for another opinion. First thing he did was pull the muffler and it had a scored piston....i let him rebuild it and reset my 026. Sorry for the ramble.

Don't read those Debbie Downer replies, they are just jealous of your purchase. Wish I had started with that LOAD! I agree with not messing with the 395's carb, run a tank through it and check plug, you know what to look for. Amazing haul and stay safe. :happybanana:
 
I wish had a good friend that was a chainsaw enthusiast to help me get these saws started for the first time. The 550XP is the AutoTune so I am not too worried about it, but the 395 has the old fashioned H/L adjustment. I have never tuned a chainsaw before and I hate to learn on a new one.

I could take the saws to the local Stihl dealer and have them start the saws for the first time and adjust the mix on the 395, but I am afraid they would spit in the gas tank if I brought in the wrong shade of orange. I bought these saws mail order from a dealer in Massachusetts. Therefore I can’t go to the dealer I bought them from for help
I am also jealous.. I'd like to say that I enjoy working/fixing my saws in the middle of nowhere.. I'd like to say that. It's a proud moment in my life when a newbie gets to finish the load cuz his tools are still running, and, WELL, mine ain't. But, it really is tough to fix anything when ya got cold beer and 2 hands, but only one mouth. Confusing..so be prepared.. New saws always start and run. Friend take older saws to get outta work..you brought this on yourself. Kidding of course.. At my age and years of marriage, I'd rather be running my saw and mouth, than making love to my wife.. Jeeze, hope she doesn't read this.. Cheers. KIMG_20180314_200147.jpg

Wow, so do I or we are going to be reading a news article of a wife that cut her husband into small bits.
 
True on the canned fuel remark in regards to cutting a lot of wood. That will get expensive.

For many years I used Ethanol-laced gas and a good oil for my mix. Never a problem. A couple of years ago, I was able to get my canned fuel for free, so I've been using it. I will continue as long as my supply lasts. I still have about 8 cans left.

Once I run out of it, I will go back to mixing my own, now that we finally have a gas station that sells the E-Free stuff.
