Husqvarna 440e/x-torq - any good?

I have had a Husky 141 for around 10 years and used this for general firewood and pallet chopping. It only gets used on the light stuff, but always bats above it's weight since the muffler was opened up :thumbup1:

 

For the bigger tasks the 350 or the 044 come into play.

 

After debating giving the old saw a makeover I noted today that my local dealer has the Husqvarna 440 x-torq on special at £250 all in. Sounds a good price when compared with the 335? £50 to stick a new bar/chain and rim sprocket on, or add on a further £200 to get a whole new saw. Man logic after all :001_tongue:

 

So for non-pro use is this saw any good?

It maybe jut my mates saw but the quick realise for bar and chain dosent work properly, ive had the chain fly off the bar, hitting my trousers first time after the 2nd time i bent the chain to stop him from using it, til it was sorted.

Id perfer the nut and bolt way, also the power fades if uve got a 18'' and going through some big wood to log up, id stick with a 15/16'' bar

I have one. It came with an 18" bar but I've put a 15" bar on and it's a perfect little saw for snedding and felling smaller diameter stuff. It really does make a big difference having a 15" bar over the 18".

 

Cheers Ashes. How have you found the easy chain adjuster?
