Husky 445 daily use

[Rough Cutter]

Using a 445 daily .

It's a lovely saw but I'm not sure how many miles it's going to do.

Any ideas on say 60 cc husky for replacement when it blows up?

 

No other makes to be discussed please as the rest are just rubbish 😁

So either a 560xp or 562xp

 

Dependent on the wood you are cutting, it would be  a nice upgrade if you are cutting larger diameter stuff.

 

 

 

Abit overlooked  but the 555 is going cheap atm: £499.

Its the same as a 550xp  just without rev boost i think...

Ooooh that is fair .

Had a 362xp for years and I am tempted by one .

Are the new ones as robust as they were 15 years ago?

I am very happy with my G372XP. Some minor issues with the original tank but they sent me a good replacement and has ran perfectly since. Had a reasonable amount of use this year blocking down larger trunks. Lots of power. Theres very little weight or size saving on a smaller model so just get the 72cc.

If you want a pro saw then 560 or 560. Both now in MK2. Difference is the 560 is .325 with the smaller bar mount and the 562 is in 3/8 in the big bar mount. 

 

If you want a semi pro saw it's the 555 same as a 560 minus the rev boost. So unless you do a lot of conifer shedding you won't miss it. 

 

Not used the 562 but Ite on my shopping list so I can swap bars with my 572.

Not sure I want to be bothered going with the extra cost.

445 is running well on woodland clearance and general chipper mule work.

It's nice and light too.

It would be good to get a saw at say 55/60 cc and still lightweight.

I guess I will have to see how long the 445 runs for.

It's on 18" bar and.325 so not the fastest cutting machine..

Any ideas on giving it a bit of a porting and exhaust mods?

Why do you say 55/60cc ? Just get a 550, nice and light, step up in power from your current saw. Ok on 18".
