Husqvarna 555 Gas Chainsaw, 60-cc 4.16-HP 2-Cycle X-Torq Engine, 24 Inch Chainsaw with X-Cut Chain, For Felling, Limbing and Bucking Small and Midsize Trees

Beastly This is my first gas powered chainsaw, so I am far from an expert. However, I am very happy with it, and found it easy to setup and use right out of the box. I used this to clear a fairly thick tree that had fallen across a trail in my woods. I spent hours watching tutorials first on how to properly use a chainsaw for this purpose. I would definitely not recommend using this unless you know what you're doing, as you could suffer severe injury or death if you don't use it properly.The size is ideal. Neither too heavy nor too light, and I find it pretty easy to hold and control. It is quick to start up, and i am happy with the cut quality. I don't see myself needing another chainsaw for a very, very long time. This functions exactly as advertised. Value is solid. A little bit more expensive than I would expect, but you're getting a quality item that will last for a long time and which can be serviced by the numerous authorized Husqvarna service centers nationwide.

This is one impressive powerful Husqvarna chain saw! It'll get the job done that's for sure! This is one impressive Husqvarna chain saw. I borrowed it to my father-in-law for the recent storms as his old saw wasn't running very well he said. He said this ran so well from first pull until he was done cutting fallen trees. There is no assembly, it's almost ready to go out of the box. Add chain oil, included, and a oil gas mixture, prime, set the choke & chain brake, then pull and on the 2nd pull it started so easy. The chain is super sharp and cuts though everything so quickly. The engine has plenty of power and he was able to cut through some rather thick trees that his old one would have taken multiple cuts. I had a video but for some reason it won't upload to Amazon. I plan to use it next to cut an evergreen tree down so I can put a 10' x 10' shed up and I'll be done in no time!

Should get 6 stars What a powerhouse! It's better than any other chainsaw I've owned. Well built, feels robust when you use it. Really cuts through the oak logs I've used it on. All around the best chainsaw. Starts easy, runs strong. Wish I could give it 6 stars.

Defective in the box. No reasonable path for replacement or repair. First bad Amazon purchase. Packaging was undamaged. I unboxed and noticed how surprisingly light this chainsaw is (definitely like that). Unfortunately, I can’t review anything else about it as it is defective right out of the box. This review describes attempt to obtain a replacement through Amazon, convince Husqvarna to honor their warranty, and the unpleasant surprises encountered. Brief background: I own and operate a horse farm with several pastures and miles of wooded riding trails. We currently have four gasoline chainsaws and two pole-saws, all Husqvarna equipment that gets used frequently. There are no surviving Husqvarna dealers in my area, but I was brand loyal and had been for decades. Local Tractor Supply and Lowes sell Husqvarna. I typically replace one or two chainsaws a year with new units and gift the older working equipment to my part-time employees as a nice “thank you” and encouragement to stay on. Maybe excessive, but I never have people ready to work with no operating saws. We made numerous attempts to start this new 555 chainsaw. Good visible spark at plug, full tank of fresh “True-Fuel 50:1”, primer bulb full of fuel… but little or nothing getting through carb. No evidence of any leakage – it’s just blocked. Fuel system is defective right out of the box, disappointing. Attempt to return through Amazon ended with “This item isn't eligible for return” for reason of “shipping restrictions”. This was big surprise to me with no path forward. Contacted Husqvarna to arrange replacement and eventually “chatted” online with rep. Never did reach a human, just some kind of “ChatGPT” AI rep. If you have not dealt with this before, well I found it creepy as hell - thing was way more interested in my emotional state than with providing practical solutions. Solution it did offer was I drive well over 100 miles between two trips to the nearest “Husqvarna certified” service center. First to have new chainsaw inspected to ensure defect is covered under warranty, second to retrieve the repaired saw. All this travel-time, aggravation, and personal expense simply to reach a state I should have been at five minutes after opening box. Thought about it for a while… “Nope”. Drove to local Kubota Tractor/Stihl dealer and bought a new Stihl MS 462 chainsaw and, since I was there, a new HT 135 pole saw. Higher end equipment than I intended… but cathartic as hell and the shop owner is happy I’ve discarded my brand loyalty to Husqvarna. I’ll continue to use my existing Husqvarna saws, but I’ll be replacing them with Stihl equipment in future. What am I going to do with my new defective $830 Husqvarna chainsaw? I don’t know. I regret the waste of money. I’ll probably take it apart in future and see if I can repair it. If you do not live near a “certified” Husqvarna service center, I recommend not taking the risk of buying through Amazon.

Serious power and quality I already have a Husqvarna Rancher 465 and was perfectly happy with that. It has lasted me many years and never let me down. But I like having a backup for any tool I rely on. The thing is this chainsaw has so much more power than my old one that this will now be my primary saw. I was surprised how much easier the extra power made cutting. It is also quieter and seems to use less fuel. It can use all the bars and chains that I already have too as I keep extra 18-24" bars to swap out when I don't need the longer length.

Great power and reliability. This is my second Husqvarna gas chainsaw that I own. I also have an 16" 335 model which i have owned for about 20 years now and i needed something a little bigger so I got this 555 model and I love it. Like all of my Husqvarna products it shows it's power and reliability and cuts through the logs and trees with ease. I have a lot of thicker trees and bases that i need to take care of this fall and this is making the job a lot easier. This is a professional quality machine and chews through what ever you put in front of it. Videos to follow.

Plenty of cutting power. This chainsaw is powerful! It can handle large jobs for sure and has more than enough power. My previous chainsaw needed repairing so I picked this one up. This sets up very well and starts with no problems after being used a few times. It has a heavy duty feel to its build overall. Overall i would review this as a great chainsaw and worth the money. No complaints as it works as intended.

Excellent quality and functionality Excellent chainsaw. Works great and isn't too heavy to use. Very powerful and is capable of doing a lot of work in a shirt period if time. Good size and seems durable. Highly recommend this product and I have been very happy with it after months of usage.
