The Husqvarna 550 mark 2 is in the same class at the Stihl 261. Both have 4 horse power. I've used both and find the Stihl power head is a pound lighter due to a more plastic construction including the wrap handle, while the Husqvarna is heavier by a pound, it seems more durable and ergonomic. Both saws are great. Somedays having a lighter saw would be nice, other days I need it to as robust as possible. Really is a toss up about which one is better. Do you have a 261?
@@benchangsaw9652 ive got a weird 1-off franken saw built from 2 025 stihls an 026 and a 261 all put together, ported, and on AV gas, not really a fair comparison but super fun to cut with, especially pulling a 12in bar.
