    Question:
    I would like to convert a Husqvarna 555fx to a 555fxt - in other words install heating elements into handles.

    General Product Question posted December 11, 2014 by Jonathan Zellmer in Husqvarna: Ask & Answer > Brushcutters public
    Question:
    What is the difference between the Husqvarna 555fx and the Jonsered FC2256 outside of the obvious and also I am having trouble with comparing what is listed on/in reading material on their respective websites? There is a lack of uniformity with information formats provided by Husqvarna and Jonsered websites for use in comparison of models across brand name borders. Maybe its from too much effort to be different when they are virtually the same machines.

    The Jonsered FC2256 (20.28 lbs) > is listed as being heavier than Husqvarna 555fx (19.6 lbs)? These weights actually different or were different scales calibrated differently (red might look heavier than orange or Vice Versa?

    Please help me to get a more complete and competent comparison of these two clearing saws (Husqvarna 555fx compared with the Jonsered FC2256), so that I can make an informed purchase as a consumer.

    Thank You in advance,

    Jonathan
    Details:

    I have spent in excess of 4 hours so far on phone and internet trying to get to information that seems hidden from consumer.  It seems like Husqvarna and Jonsered are engaged in secrecy war within the same company - I'm very frustrated with recent customer service experience and information availability. I have Husqvarna saws now, but Stihl FS560 clearing saw is looking better than it was before this difficulty in streamlining a comparison of Husqvarna and Jonsered within same company?  I love my Husqvarna equipment, but want to keep buying best without using the good old trial and error method.
