Husqvarna original bars
The Husqvarna 555 takes all Husqvarna guide bars with the Small mount, 3/8″ pitch and .050″ or .058″ gauge. The compatible original bars are listed in the two tables below. Recommended bar lengths are 13″ to 24″, which matches the Husqvarna bar offering.
A quick selection guide: pick FT-280 or XF-280 for low weight, HLI-280 for a short bar (16″ or 18″), HT-280 Pro RSN for long bar life; and HA-280 Pro Solid for dirty, abrasive cutting conditions. You can also choose the .058″ gauge equivalents (2nd table), .050″ vs. .058″ makes no big difference here.

Oregon bars
Oregon makes a large number of Husqvarna 555 -compatible guide bars in the K095 mount, 3/8″ pitch and both in .050″ and .058″ gauges. These bars are listed in the two tables below.
The AdvanceCut™ (PXD) bars (.050″) are probably the best choice for the occasional use, while the replaceable-nose PowerCut™ (EXL/RND) bars give the longest service life in heavy use. The 28″ models are a bit too long for the 555 to run and are greyed out.
