The Husqvarna 550XP II is a gas-powered, professional-grade chainsaw with a 50.1cc X-Torq engine and an 18" bar. It is built for forestry work, tree care and other demanding cutting jobs, including felling, limbing and bucking small to mid-sized trees.
The crankcase is magnesium. The engine has a redesigned cooling system, and AutoTune technology adjusts engine settings automatically, so the carburetor needs no tuning. It adapts to fuel quality, altitude, weather and air filter conditions. Smart Start reduces resistance on the starter cord, and a combined start/stop switch and fuel pump simplify startup.
The LowVib anti-vibration system uses dampeners to reduce vibration. The body is slim and narrow for control in tight spaces. Air Injection centrifugal cleaning removes larger debris before it reaches the air filter. An adjustable oil pump lets you set chain lubrication to match cutting conditions. A molded-in felling sight helps with aiming when felling trees.
