20" is good on a 555. I'd be looking for a light weight one.
Which bar model and chain model? I've been considering the Stihl chain after seeing how well it holds up because the Oregon 72LGX does not stay sharp for long.
I run a 20" 3/8 .050 with 72LGX chain to complement a 16" on my 550xp when the trees are bigger. With a sharp chain it pulls really well.
I also use a 24" bar with it for occasional milling but have not used that bar for firewood work.
My saw also has the 562 top end and coil but I don't know how much difference it really makes.
Benk - thanks for the chain info, looks like I need #3623.
Just want to make a correction on the info you posted for the bar. You listed the part for the Husqvarna big mount saws (ex: 562xp) D009.
The Oregon small mount is K095. So it would be 200RNDK095.
A 24” bar on a 555? I put a 24” bar on my sons 460, but with a 8th tooth rim and a skip tooth chain. But once the big wood was cut I gave him a 18” & 20” bars for it. I don’t like over working 60cc power heads. I gave him recently a 570 xtorq for the bigger wood.
