Husqvarna's Latest Innovations: 564 XP® and 550i XP® Chainsaws

Husqvarna, a renowned name in outdoor power products, has once again set a new standard in professional chainsaws with the introduction of its latest models: the 564 XP® and 550i XP®. Designed specifically for forestry and tree care professionals, these chainsaws mark an impressive leap in technology and performance, offering innovative features aimed at enhancing productivity and user comfort.

564 XP®: A Game Changer in Gasoline Chainsaws

Leading the charge is the 564 XP®, touted as Husqvarna's first fuel-injected chainsaw to hit the market. This model is particularly significant due to its capacity to deliver an impressive performance akin to a 70cc gasoline saw, while maintaining the lightweight and compact dimensions of a typical 50cc model. With a powerful 60cc engine, the 564 XP® boasts advanced fuel injection technology and a newly engineered short-stroke design, resulting in rapid acceleration and consistent cutting power even under various operating conditions.

The innovative design of this chainsaw also prioritizes operator comfort. It features reduced vibration levels, which is critical for professionals who often spend long hours using these tools, thereby minimizing fatigue without compromising durability. As Gent Simmons, President of Husqvarna Forest and Garden, North America, remarked, “The 564 XP® represents a leap forward in professional chainsaw technology, bringing groundbreaking low-pressure fuel injection to Husqvarna's lineup.” This technology is set to make operations easier and significantly boost productivity in demanding environments.

550i XP®: Power Meets Power in Battery Technology

Joining the lineup is the Husqvarna 550i XP®, recognized as the brand’s most powerful battery-operated chainsaw. Designed to compete with the performance of a 50cc gas chainsaw, the 550i XP® offers a strong power-to-weight ratio, delivering excellent performance in tree care and forestry tasks. Its design is not just about power; it also emphasizes user-friendliness, with a slim, lightweight structure that enhances maneuverability.

The 550i XP® is intelligently designed to adapt to the battery being used, enabling professionals to choose between the lighter B330X battery for easier handling or the more robust B540X battery which offers greater power and runtime. Its advanced graphical display provides users with real-time information on battery status and operational performance, while features such as active cooling technology and an IPX4 weather-resistant design ensure reliable functionality in tough conditions.

Remarks from Industry Experts

Industry veteran Johnny Korthuis, a Board Certified Master Arborist and member of Husqvarna's H Team, expressed enthusiasm about both saws: “The 564 XP® is remarkably responsive and offers much more power than its size might suggest. The 550i XP® also gives me the same confidence I've enjoyed from Husqvarna’s battery platform but now comes with the added power for more demanding tasks.”

A Commitment to Innovation and Professional Standards

Together, the 564 XP® and 550i XP® highlight Husqvarna's unwavering commitment to providing professionals with the ideal tools for every scenario, whether they prefer gasoline or battery-power. Both chainsaws feature cutting-edge technology innovations that make challenging tasks more manageable while ensuring operators feel comfortable and confident.

The Husqvarna 564 XP® and 550i XP® are available now through authorized dealers across North America. These models not only reflect Husqvarna's dedication to high-quality professional equipment but also demonstrate its continuous push towards sustainable and innovative solutions.
