The most common forest work is thinning, and then the most important thing is to have a light saw with a sharp chain. I personally use the Huskvarna 435, cheap and light (4.2 kg).
I have many Husqvarna saws. My 435 is a dog. Many of them are. The 543XP is a good saw and a little bigger. Very light and strong and good for limbing. However it’s not really a Husqvarna. It’s made by red max
@@per365 I wouldn’t have gone out and bought the 543 XP as I already have a 550. Only because I don’t have an extra $600 for what I would consider a pure limbing saw. I don’t climb at 61 years old anymore so I don’t really want a top handle. However I was fortunate enough to get my 543 for free. But I can say that I’m really glad I have it
And the 560xpg would have been even faster with 13". Interesting results though. However speed isn't everything I rather have a saw I like than a fast one. I rather take a 346 or 353 before a 550. 560 is a great saw but too heavy if you are cutting small trees most of the day. Never tried a 543. But I feel 550 isn't a lot to carry.
I have a 543, 550 and a 562. The 543 is lighter, the 550 is a little heavier, and a little better balanced. My 562 has a 24 inch Sugihara made chain on it, and it is the most balanced and the best power to weight ratio. If you have the money, they all have their place. If you’re doing small stuff and living, I would take the 543 even though, it’s not a legitimate Husqvarna. If I had to have only one saw, including the big ones, I would have a 562XP. That being said 550 is absolutely wonderful and I find myself using that one, the most.
@@TheGuitarRoom Nice, I haven't tried a 543. But I'm actually a bit interested in buying one for my daughter to help me out, she is quite short and I guess even a 550 will be heavy for her to really work with. But I don't know, some say they are crap but I know one guy that only uses a 543.
@@hnorrstrom hey there. How nice of you to include your daughter on this. I don’t think it is a crap saw at all. It’s just not a true Husqvarna. But it is Japanese made, and it is basically a red max which is owned by Husqvarna or vice versa. I am part of a tree service company that also has his farm of famous carver Chad Gainey as one of our team members. He used a 543 four years to do his chainsaw carvings. In fact, I have one of his old saws. The secret with these, as with any chainsaw, and particularly the Husqvarna, is how you maintain them. Anything in the XP line is designed to run like a racing engine and it needs to be maintained as such. Even though it is expensive, I would implore you to always use Husqvarna pre-mixed fuel. It is different than the others, and one of the reasons is because the Husqvarna oriole has a much higher viscosity rate. Another benefit about their pre-mix gas, if you can leave it in the engine all year round and you don’t have to clean it out and it does not threaten your seals or gas lines. If you do this, you’ll have a fantastic running saw. I think the 543 would be an excellent choice for her. Good luck. 😊🙏🏼
@@TheGuitarRoom Thanks for the long answer, interesting to hear about the carving . These days I always use pre mixed fuel. Mostly because it's more stable. I've actually had some standing for years in saws and in a barrel without any problems. No problem with gaskets, fuel lines, starting what so ever. Didn't know the saws was actually optimized for it also and about viscosity though. It's really not that common to mix your own fuel here in Sweden. Likely because of environmental campaigns against it. But many older people still do. Anyway, I might buy her a 543 I can then borrow, it sounds like a good handy saw for most dutys.
@@hnorrstrom you are very welcome. If I lived in Sweden, instead of the state of Georgia in the United States, I would happily loan you and your daughter, mine ! I can vouch that it is an absolutely wonderful saw. And thank you in return for your information regarding the fuel and the restrictions in Sweden. There is a lot of respect for Sweden in my circles!!! you’ll be well
Great video! Wanted to see a good 543xp video for awhile! How much lighter does it feel than the 550xp? I have the 550xp II and it is my favorite saw to be honest but the 543xp must have it’s place!

Where are you working that thinning is the most common work?
@@brandondean3444 In Sweden, we almost always use harvesters for clearcutting.

Really she pushed it the end the 550 xp,so already authetic the video. 👍
Otherwise I looked through perviosly as well but I didn't notice.

Tsumura vs Sugihara?
Best Review
Seems about right.
The 543 is an odd duck, IMO. What do you use it for?
I use it for the smaller size trees, like the one i am cutting in the video, lighter and simpler to work with.

it feels lighter, but to be honest I think the balance of the 550 is better, but for the smaller trees the 543 is definitely better to work with!
@@ForestryNorth awesome 👊🏼 thanks for the reply!
I have both and I fully agree with harvester north’s comments
I have both and fully agree with the comments
😃😃😃😃😃

Okay buddy you know how to sharpen your your little Saw 🪚 little aggressive we taking the rakes down but hey you got it
Quanto custa e onde localisa se
560 xp - 3,25? Its fake
562 is 3/8 while 560 is .325
560 uses just the same bars as the smaller saws.
Son scheiß
