Replacement for a husqvarna 357xp

[Grommet]

Hi. My 357xp has died, I need to replace it and I'm looking for suggestions. I'm not a professional but I cut a lot of wood. I'm not rich enough to buy new so I'm looking for a used saw. The 357 was ideal in terms of power and weight but a bit delicate (too much plastic). Any ideas?

Cheers

I sent my 'dead' 357 to spud to fix and port for me, I've now converted it to 3/8" and it's awesome! It'll out cut a new 560!
Surprised you call it delicate, I've had mine for 10ish years now and it has a hard life!
Depending on how dead it is, I'd say it'll be significantly cheaper to repair than replace.
Cheers

Mine has a split in the tank, needs a new chain brake , and the point where the anti vibration rubber attach to the bottom of the crank case has broken off meaning I need to replace the bottom part of the casing and that's just the edited highlights! It's been a great saw but it was worked hard before I got it and I've had it 10 yrs.
