Introducing the new Husqvarna 550 XP® Mark II.

To this, we've added comfort, control and manoeuvrability - all in a reliable and durable package with easy starts, that keeps going as long as it's needed.
Optimized for felling, limbing, removal or cross cutting, the saw is an extension of yourself a perfect fit that channels your skills and experience. Professional forestry performance, tailored to you and your needs. A new way to the perfect cut, for a new chainsaw generation.
Power and speed. And power that’ll get the job done faster than ever before. The Husqvarna 550 XP® Mark II will provide you with new, unparalleled levels of cutting capacity, the very best in this size. The optimized combination of high-power output and high chain speed is further enhanced by the use of the SP33G X-CUT™ chain and the durable X-FORCE™ bar.
For the 550 XP® Mark II this translates into an impressive cutting capacity, as much as considerably more than its closest competitor *.
“In the end, it’s all about the whole package. The saw, the chain, the balance, the tree you’re cutting … This saw is quicker and stronger and you can really feel its bite. I’m more than satisfied with its cutting capacity.”
Olivia Eggen, Tree care professional, Sweden.

The new Husqvarna 550 XP® Mark II has been engineered for maximized durability and reliability, no matter the conditions. Extra attention has been given to the cooling of the engine through an optimized airflow and minute attention to every detail. The carburetor temperature is protected by an extra-strong heat shield, helping the overall cooling capacity as well as enabling easier starts during hot conditions or when you’ve operated the engine intensely.
“All Husqvarna products are durable and robust, but the new 550 XP® Mark II feels even more so, even tougher. They run and function perfectly with no unwanted stops, no matter the rev. I’ve used it during really warm days, and there wasn’t a single hitch.”
Anton Petersson, Tree care professional, Sweden
At Husqvarna, we’ve focused on comfort and user-centric design for the better part of 60 years. It’s in our DNA. This is why the new Husqvarna 550 XP® Mark II is carefully designed to be easy to handle, with minimized gyro forces and as little resistance as possible when moving the chainsaw during limbing operations.
Basically, it’s all about smart design. Of the principle of the outboard clutch, the size of the flywheel. And about the placement, the size and the angle of the handles.
“For such a powerful saw, it’s easy to handle and twist and move around. The combination of the manoeuvrability and the power output makes it possible for me to get more done, in a shorter amount of time, without tiring.”
