Re: New saw Husky 555 or 562XP

I'm leaning toward the Husqvarna 555. I can use my old bars, and it's available now. The 555 that the local dealer has in stock is serial # 2017 34xxxxx, so that would put the manufacturing date in late August of last year. Does anyone know if there were significant changes between now and current production? (Other than software updates).

I had though about waiting for the Stihl 462 to become available - I'd have to abandon the bars from my 357XP, but that extra power for not much extra weight (about 3/4 lbs) is tempting. However, I'm not doing this professionally, and it's rare that I'm in big enough wood to really need that extra power. Plus, there is the question of when it will finally be available in the US.

The 562XP is still a possibility. I could probably sell my old bars to a friend with a 555.
