I work for a utility line clearance company but have been coming across more and more side work. I have a 235 Husky that I really enjoy using for climbing but I'm gonna bite the bullet and purchase a good mid range saw soon. I've very partial even though I use stihls at work all day. Is the Husqvarna 555 gonna fit the bill good? I'd probably only be running a 20 bar on it. I have access to a couple of really big saws and hardly ever come across a trre big enough to need one here in iowa.
 
Yup a 555 is a good saw same as the 562xp but has a little less power and no rev boost. However of you're gonna climb with it you might want to look at a 550xp its a little lighter and more manuverable in a tree.
