Anyone using a Husky T435??

[MaxJ]

Can I ask what are they like? I cant quite stretch to a MS200T so am looking at these. Have been using back hander Huskys and think they are great but I want to know what this would be like for my first topper?

i used one.....yes its cheap, but it does have a few design floors...not least the chain break which i managed to break within a couple of hours. not saying thats a good enough reason not to buy one if the price is that important to you....just something you would need to be aware of.

 

the topping saw is perhaps your primary piece of equipment however....you should pull all the stops out to find a way to get the best you can.

If its going to get used all day everyday. Id save up that little bit more and get the MS200T, You just cant beat them.

save your money and get an ms200t, the best top handled saw available.

It won't be getting used everyday at the moment (unfortunately!!) but I do need one for next week. How did the chain break break?!

for a start its too big, sticks out and catches on stuff if you are climbing through tight canopies.....and its only attached at one point so minimal leverage is required to break the plastic. if you are aware of that you can no doubt prevent it happening to some extent...its something to watch for though.

I see your point! I will see what happens over the weekend and see if I can stretch to a 200T.

 

Thanks for the info though guys.

You've all persuaded me to part with my hard earned wonga. Will be ordering a 200T tomorrow!
