## Frequently asked questions

### What is the Husqvarna 550XP G Mark II and what does the G mean?

The Husqvarna 550XP G Mark II is the heated-handle version of the 550XP Mark II, the G marking that feature. It is classed by Husqvarna as a professional saw, built on a 50.1 cc engine giving 2.98 kW, or 4 hp. The heated grips target daily cutting through cold and wet winter conditions.

### How powerful is the Husqvarna 550XP G Mark II?

The Husqvarna 550XP G Mark II runs a 50.1 cc engine rated at 2.98 kW, or 4 hp, idling at 2,800 rpm and reaching 10,200 rpm at full throttle. Four horsepower from 50 cc is a high output for the class, and the 10,200 rpm ceiling is what lets a professional saw recover quickly between cuts.

### What bar and chain does the Husqvarna 550XP G Mark II take?

Husqvarna gives the 550XP G Mark II a recommended bar length of 33 cm and a maximum of 51 cm, running 0.325 inch pitch chain at 19.6 m/s. The 33 cm setup keeps the saw fast and nimble for limbing; the 51 cm bar buys reach on bigger trunks but loads the engine harder.

### How much does the Husqvarna 550XP G Mark II weigh?

The Husqvarna 550XP G Mark II weighs 5.58 kg without bar and chain. Add the 33 cm bar, the chain, fuel and the 0.32 litre oil charge and the saw in your hands is meaningfully heavier. Under 6 kg dry for 4 hp is a good power-to-weight ratio for a full day of cutting.

### How loud is the Husqvarna 550XP G Mark II?

The Husqvarna 550XP G Mark II is rated at 107 dB(A) sound pressure at the operator's ear and 117 dB(A) sound power. At 107 dB(A) hearing protection is not a matter of preference, and the 117 dB(A) figure describes what the saw puts into the surroundings, which matters near houses.

### How much does the Husqvarna 550XP G Mark II vibrate?

The Husqvarna 550XP G Mark II measures 4 m/s² of vibration at the front handle and 4.6 m/s² at the rear. Those are low figures for a 50.1 cc professional saw, and low vibration is what makes long shifts sustainable. The heated grips of the G version help on the same front in cold weather.
