HUSQVARNA 550 XP MK2 Petrol Chainsaw

The perfect chainsaw for felling, limbing and bucking small to medium-sized trees, along with other demanding tree care tasks, the Husqvarna 550 XP® MK2 is expertly designed for professional use.

Slimmer but more powerful than its predecessor, this petrol chainsaw is easy to handle, incredibly reliable, and always delivers exceptional performance.

The Husqvarna 550 XP® MK2 Petrol Chainsaw’s Key Specifications

The Husqvarna 550XP MK2 comes with a highly efficient 50 cc X-Torq® engine, with a maximum power output of 4 hp (3 kW). Weighing 5.3 kg (excluding cutting equipment), it has a cylinder displacement of 50.1 cm³.

This petrol chainsaw’s S35G chain has a 0.325-inch pitch and maximum speed of 19.6 m/s. It comes with a 15-inch (38 cm) guide bar, but the chainsaw can also be used with those ranging from 13 inches (33 cm) to 20 inches (50 cm) in size. The Husqvarna Chainsaw 550XP has a guaranteed sound power level of 117 dB(A) and sound pressure level at the operator’s ear of 107 dB(A).

The 550XP’s Cooling System

The Husqvarna 550 XP Mark II features a new cooling system, every detail of which is optimised. This makes it more reliable, and with a much longer life, than most other petrol chainsaws.

The Benefits of AutoTune

The 550 XP Husqvarna Mark 2 also comes with AutoTune technology, which optimises the engine’s performance and removes the need to adjust the carburettor. AutoTune compensates for changes in temperature, humidity, altitude, fuel, and a clogged air filter.

An Ultra-Durable Chainsaw

With its forged 3-piece crankshaft, super-sturdy magnesium crankcase, retained bar nuts and retained starter screws, the Husqvarna 550XP Mark II is built to last. It will easily withstand high rpms and demanding professional use.

The 550XP MK2’s Felling Sight

Because an effective sight is so important when felling trees, Husqvarna has pulled out all the stops to design a market-leading model for use with this chainsaw. Unbeatably durable, it is made to last a lifetime.

Air Injection™ Technology

The Husqvarna Chainsaw 550XP Mark II boasts the company’s Air Injection™ technology. This centrifugal air cleaning system reduces wear on the air filter, so you can go for much longer periods of time without cleaning it.

When the filter does eventually need cleaning or replacing, its quick-release design makes the task simple.

The 550XP Mark 2’s Ergonomic Design

Husqvarna’s LowVib® technology includes integral dampeners to absorb the machine’s vibrations before they reach your body. And as this chainsaw is designed with a low, slender body too, this makes the ergonomic Husqvarna 550 Mark 2 an exceptionally comfortable tool to use.

The Fuel Tank and Cap

The Husqvarna 550 Mark 2’s transparent fuel indicator makes checking the fuel level easy. Once a refill is required, you’ll find the flip-up cap simple to open and close, even if you’re wearing thick winter gloves.

Side-Mounted Chain Tensioning

Side-mounted chain tensioning ensures adjusting the chain is quick and easy, so you won’t need to take unnecessary breaks from your work.

And thanks to the adjustable oil pump, lubricating the chain is straightforward too.

The 550 Mark 2’s Snap Lock Cylinder Cover

The Husqvarna 550 XP MK2’s snap-lock cylinder cover is a further example of this petrol chainsaw’s user-friendly design. It saves a lot of time should you need to clean or change the spark plugs.
