Replacing an 026

[DonT]

I am getting ready to replace my 026 stihl, I am thinking of replacing it with either a 550xp husky or a 555 husky. Can anyone recommend one over the other? It will get used mostly for limbing and brush.I currently have a 357,562,372,390 and a couple of climb saws. My dealer has been great with me over the years so staying with a husky is the plan.   Thanks

You're running all XP already Don, why be different now with the 555?

My dealer runs a 555  himself and speaks highly of it and tells me there have been less issues with the 555 versus the 550xp.

I've run both and the 550 with the rev boost makes it a different animal altogether.
If you have a good relationship with your dealer already and he's up to date on the AutoTune the extra few $ is money well spent.
