In the coming year I will be a doing a lot of cutting and limbing young planted pines from land I will be clearing/reclaiming. I have other great saws in smaller and larger sizes, a Huskie 570 and a Echo CS330T. Obviously the Echo, while handy is a top handle climbing and saw and too small for my needs and the bad boy 570 too heavy and overkill for the purpose. I wanted a pro series saw and there is a Huskie dealer 2 miles from my house. The 550XP looked like exactly what I needed. I ordered it with an 18" bar to give me a little more reach than the standard 16" bar. I haven't had a chance to cut with it yet but I love the looks, build and handling of the saw. I think it going to be excellent for my use.
