I'm giving away a BRAND NEW STIHL MS 261 chainsaw! Enter now through November 23, 2023 (Thanksgiving Day). Details here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZBVu7w2BElM.html
I just bought this saw after spending two years hedging. I didn't think it would be a big enough saw. I love horsepower. Boy was I surprised. This thing is a beast. Lightweight, zero vibration, and tons of power. I'm sure it'll be the last saw I ever buy. Simply amazing.
Love the 550XP Mark II My current lineup consist of Old school Blue Homelite XL-12, Echho CS-301 top handle, Husqvarna 455 Rancher, 550xp Mark II, and my powerhouse 395xp. As soon as they come out with a fuel injected Husqvarna I'll probally have one of them too! 😀
I bought 1 & it ate at me all week for not getting the 550 XP Mark ii for the little bit more $, I ended up picking it up to like 6 days later lol, my wife WAS NOT IMPRESSED with my shopping skills lol they both run AMAZING, it’s been 6-7 months now & they run better than the day I got them, awesome video, should do some updates on it
Thanks for your Honest and Genuine Reviews ! I have a Stihl ms261 non-mtronic chainsaw and Love how it cuts and the torque it has ! One of the Best Pro Saws you can spend your money on ! I am retired and have a Hobby farm with lots of trees to cut and have been very happy with my Stihl saws. After looking at your videos plus lots of other reviews I decided on purchasing a Husqvarna 550 xp mk 2. Received the Husky today and was impressed with the quality of the saw. Like you I will for sure like both saws for what they have to offer ! Thanks again for your Fine Videos !!!
Awesome video like always! So good to have an honest well presented review. Very glad I have taken the plunge and bought one! Thanks for all your hard work putting together these great videos!
Awesome! It. Is. A. Great. Saw! Nice footage! Please keep your cutting area as clear as you can. That small log near your feet could have tripped you up while bucking the bigger log. Just an observation with concern for Your safety. Liked, and SUBSCRIBED! Stay safe and Healthy!!! 👍👍👍✌🏻🇺🇸😄
I ordered a new 550 XP Mark II. It finally showed up last week and was defective out of the box. Does not appear to have any spark. She is at the dealer now getting troubleshot. Not off to a good start but I am hoping for years of good service when I get her back.
Excited?!?! I’ll do more than hit the like button! I am going to go buy one! Thank you for the input I love your videos and you definitely have sold this chainsaw to me lol!
Ok so my saw is set on max oiler and oil Leaks out from the guide bar cover. I turned it down a little and it still wants to leak. Any suggestions what I can do to fix it? I can turn it down more but I wanna make sure the 20 inch bar is getting enough lubrication. Also I use countyline bar and chain oil. Thanks
@Patrick Bateman I have been buying husqvarna saws since I was 11. I started with a 254xp (bought one a year) went to 357xp and they were good saws as long as you didn't cut the rakkers back to much (broke the clutch end of the crankshaft off) then went to 346xp good saw lack of power though. Then they came out with the 550xp. Good power not enough to turn a 3/8 chain 20in bar is what I run. First saw was good for a year traded it for another one (approximately 2016?) Since the first one I can't get one saw to last any longer than 6 to 7 months. It starts sounding like a 2 stroke snowmobile then wont start. All of the 550xp (6 to 8 of them ) since have all scored the intake side of the cylinder wall and none of the three dealers i felt with would stand behind them. I like the way the saw feels otherwise i wouldn't buy it . My opinion but they are junk!!!!
Hi PLEASE help me... idk which one I should buy this 550 or stihl 262c its very similar husq has bigger weight can you help me and tell why is one of them better? Thanks and nice video
Stay tuned! I have a Husqvarna 550xp Mark II vs Stihl MS 261 C-M video coming on Friday. What I will say now, though, is not to let the weight be a determining factor. Also, please consider your dealer support and availability when you make your decision. Thanks for watching!
Hold both saws at a dealer. Which one do you like better? In my area Stihl parts and service are everywhere there is a stihl dealer near my house. Husqvarna dealers are nowhere to be found. You can buy a Stihl 261 with no electronics if that is your thing.
@@viperstrike3827 i will choose husq bcs dealer is near to me and bcs this video where husq wins vs stihl with same bar and new chain this sound of her is amazing ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-emQP7_XVDAY.html
That noise is what you call 4-stroking, it happens when you hold the throttle wide open without a load you'll over rev the engine and it will make that noise. The electronic carburetor adjust fuel and air mixture with software which allows the manufactur to tune their saws more aggressive. Conventional carburetors are tuned slightly richer on the high side to prevent over rev and burning your engine.
My dad and I have a firewood business and we cut trees anywhere from 12 inches in diameter up to our biggest of 48 inches but most trees are 12 to 30 inch diameter and we use a 19 year old husqvarna 455 rancher 20 inch bar. Is it worth the upgrade to the 550xp mark ii?
He never claimed 2 be a pro, hes a homesteader, he'll b fine, so will the saw, but yeah, he tends to run wide open much more than i do!! I give enough throttle to b most efficient.
He is little bit intense ,considering the saw is brand new. The first serie of 550 xp was no good, i blew two of them in 12 weeks . A good saw must at least last 20 weeks when used for professionnal logging. The first 550 was over heating and stopping all the time for nothing . I hope this one is better. The first Stihl 262 with a tilted engine was not better ,it blew motors like pop corn.
