I was just messing around with some downed cottonwoods. Picking around trying to find sections that weren't punky.
Here's a question for the saw guys.
If the pitch and length of chain is correct, does the number of drive links matter?
I guess I'm having trouble understanding how the same length chain with the same pitch can have more drive links. I was under the assumption that the pitch was the distance between links?
Be gentle...
Trying to figure out if can run the same chain on this 550XP and 51.
I have Husky SP33G and H30-80 chain for the 550XP(those should be compatible?). Both .325 pitch", both 80 DL.
The 51 has been getting Oregon H78 which is the same pitch but is 78 DL whereas the above mentioned chain is 80 DL.
I do realize that I would have to buy a kerf bar for the 51 but I am not sure about drive sprockets matching up.

Depends on the make of bar and the sprocket size.
You want the same number of links most of the time with the same make bar.
If you get say an Oregon replacement bar...it may be up or down a link or two.
I’ll go up a link or two if I run a large sprocket.

I will keep these chains for the 550XP.

Husky's are awesome. I have a few. My NE 346XP is the older version of your 550XP. It runs like a raped ape. I use to run a 16" bar & chain on it then switched to a 18" bar & chain. Didn't notice much difference. I did it mainly for added reach then anything else. For thicker wood I use my 365 with 20/24" bar & chain.
Don't be afraid to wear chaps. My grandpa cut his leg clear off running a chainsaw back in '69. If it could happen to him it can happen to anyone. Chainsaws are one of the most dangerous hand held tools out there. As quick as the snap of the fingers things can go sideways.
Good luck, NYH1.

The good, it runs great at full throttle.
The bad, it runs for 3-5 seconds at idle and then dies.
Starts right back up but damn it will not hold at idle. Maybe it will get better with a little more use.
