Starting with the Husqvarna 562XPG, this chainsaw is designed for high-performance cutting in demanding conditions. It features a powerful and efficient X-Torq engine that delivers high torque over a wide RPM range, reducing fuel consumption and emissions. The 562XPG also includes heated handles, which provide additional comfort during cold weather operations. This model is equipped with the AutoTune technology that automatically adjusts the engine settings to varying conditions, ensuring optimal performance without the need for manual tuning.

Next in line is the Husqvarna 555, a robust chainsaw that strikes a balance between power and weight. It is also equipped with the X-Torq engine, making it both fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly.

Its lightweight design and excellent balance make it easy to control, even during extended use.

The Husqvarna 560XP is another powerful option, particularly favorable for tree cutting and harvesting. It boasts a professional-grade engine with a higher RPM capacity and advanced air management, maximizing efficiency and cutting speed.

The 562XP is similar to the 562XPG but without the heated handles, providing an excellent choice for users who prioritize performance in milder climates. Its lightweight construction coupled with a slim design enhances maneuverability, making it ideal for both professional use and meticulous backyard projects.

Lastly, the Husqvarna 560XPG combines the features of the XP models with the added benefit of heated handles.
